1. Garret Gomez wins the Jockey title. Nope
2. A no brainer...Pletcher wins another trainers title Sub par year
3. Kent D. comes in the top 4 in the Jockey's win total. 2nd. Good Meet. Has re-gained the respect he deserves
4. Chuck Simon saddles 4 winners including Sumwun. Didn't happen

5. Record Opening Day Crowd No
6. Travers crowd is over 45,000 Too Hot
7. Mark Hoffman A.K.A. Hickory Hill Hoffman finsihes in the top three of Saratoga Media Handicappers competition. A little short. Had some good picks.
8. FPSoxfan makes amends with people on DT who think he's a prick and we end up smoking cigars and having a great time. Met quite of few people. Many realized I'm not so bad.
9. Filberto Leon rides one winner. Filly didn't even get a mount....Or did he?
10. Win, Lose, or draw we have a blast. Hey Hoss, we will have that beer together!!!!!!!!! Good luck everyone!!

Never had the beer with Hoss. The meet had great possibilites, but overall it was awesome.
Without question, the best meet in the country. See you at the Spa in July, 2008.

Yeah,

This meet did rock! I was salty for not gettin out there to meet y'all. I edned up going to Del Mar instead a couple of weeks later(which also rocked!). I wanna get to the Spa next year, so please don't do the DT trip to Del Mar lol.

No beer with Hoss, but had a great time.

Awesome Year. One of the best. I wish I won some more cash, but unless I learn some money management, it's not going to happen. See you all back at the Spa in July, 2008.

Yeah...If anyone stuck with the corn man they had a great meet.

77 was the final total of "winners of top" (one better than '06), did beat 4 out of 5 handicappers from the NY POST.

But, thanks to Capital OTB and thier promotions department.....this year's Spa meet finished in the black !

Too bad I didn't bet him often enough to come out of the meet making a profit.

You know....I really should take a lot of credit for predicting that Cornelio would win the jockey title.

Good job by me.

Now if only I could pick a winner.

**** yeah you should. that is a hell of a prediction given the who is in that jock colony and all the super trainers. it wasn't like cornhelio was just riding for one outfit, he rode multiple winners for multiple people.
