question about Saratoga
 

is there a dress code for the paddock and winners circle? if so what is it?:o

No shorts. Prefer no jeans.

And 'old school' Saratoga called for gentlemen to wear their jackets while in the boxes.. and leave them on no matter how hot it got..

This is why it's lovely to be a lady. ;)

Except the part about having to dance backwards while wearing high heels .... :)

Chuck has updated the blog...Sumwon gets work on Sat. and ships to the Spa on Sunday...can hardly wait!!!

Chuck: I'm going to be there from Wednesday(25th) through Monday. How can I get access to see our girl and when's a good day and time?

dudes can't wear tank tops?
well F that BS

i guess trying to go hippy style and wear flip flops with your slacks and sport coat is looked down upon eh?

-bt-

i have to wear long pants aug 5th, Sumwon better win or no peppermints!:rolleyes:

LMFAO

Take pictures, please!

I want pictures of her on the Oklahoma, at the Siros seminar getting a peppermint from Harvey, hanging out at the 'Que, with BTW on board taking a stroll around the shedrow ... :)

Too bad I'm not good with photo editing. I'm sure someone could put those pictures together. Just need a picture of BTW in a straddling position. :eek:

Hey, Bob, does that mean you will not be there the following week-end if Sumwon runs?

In case anyone was wondering...
 

Guess who might run in a race at Saratoga this summer? If you said The Green Monkey, grab yourself a banana.

The debut of The Green Monkey, a record $16 million purchase at a 2-year-old sale, was derailed last year because the colt had problems with a gluteal muscle. A year later, the Monkey still hasn't run, but he is getting closer, according to trainer Todd Pletcher.

"He could possibly run up there; he is doing well," Pletcher said. "He is training more forwardly now than he was last year."

The Green Monkey was all the buzz last year with his first start being hyped on a daily basis until he got hurt early in the meet.

"I don't know if it will be quite as much this time," Pletcher said of the buzz, "but I am sure people would come out to see him, see if he could make some headlines."

Pletcher has not yet picked a race for The Green Monkey.
