8/9: Saratoga (Day 11/Vanderbilt-Honorable Miss)
 

Thought it was going to be a good day when 'Best Value' Brecciate won at 7-1 to start the Spa session, but the going turned rough from that point with just a couple isolated winners little exotic or multi success. Was able to salvage the day with excellent Beverly D. and Arlington Million exactas, for which ATR listeners were primed, before Sciacca's Tutti Va Bene capped the turnaround with a $40.40 win in the Saratoga nightcap. Hope you did OK despite my poor guidance, and are prepared to attack another 11 race set today...
