Joey Bianca's 2006 Saratoga Diary

[ateamstupid]

Told ya' it would be a better entry [Aug. 1st, 2006|07:44 pm]
If this doesn't wet your Saratoga appetite, I have no idea what the **** will.

Today was easily the best day of the meet, by far..

A. No worky work.
B. I could wake up whenever the **** I wanted.
C. We got to hang out with the coolest roundtable at the track, with no one else around. We had Shrek 'n' Donkey, Sonny the Placement Judge, Donny Capone and Richie, me, Steve and Matt with Malcolm in the background. Sciacca told some great stories as we were eating pizza and subs from Marino's in an empty track. Let me tell you, if there's one thing better than a buzzing Saratoga, it's a completely ****ing deserted Saratoga.

Oh, and this..

Awesome day all around.

You definitely could tell that Bern Baby Bern was the boss of that barn. Songster was adorable. Laughing, yawning, just acting a fool. Balletto is ****ing GORGEOUS. Utterly gorgeous. I wasn't much of a Balletto fan before today, but she was so beautiful and so pleasant, I have to root for her now. Henny Hughes is a total ham.. He was all about getting his picture taken as much as possible.

Great day. Byk is finishing up dinner and Sammy just made an appearance. Matt and I have to finish up tomorrow's card, but as of now the PIck 4 and 6 look inscrutable. These 2-year-old races totally throw wrenches into any Pick 4 or 6 plans.

I like Running Dog (hilariously appropriate name for a NY-bred) in the feature and Del Carroll's horse looks pretty intimidating in the finale. Steve, Matt and I all love the More Than Ready horse in the second.. Tough, tough card. 80% of the cards have been very tough thus far..

About time to eat. Hope you guys enjoy the pics. See you tomorrow.
