9/2: Saratoga ($45 C/O); Del Mar ($168k C/O)
 

Had largely exasperating afternoon Monday getting beat in early P4 despite being live to 6. Uggh. Did land very nice price on Urban Flight in the 8th for day's best banker. Last week of somewhat grueling Spa meet upon us Wednesday, and fun carryover cards in NY and CA should keep us all entertained through 9pm tonight! Hope you've been doing well and enjoying ATR coverage as the summer season of live broadcasts from Carolina Barbecue wind down. Just 4 more days from the backyard before turning our attention towards the fall meets and Breeders' Cup...

steve the 8 in the 9th at saratoga is scratched you elimanated it in the selections but included the 8 in the pic 6 and late pic 4

Thx Tony! All set now...

Nice Job in the 2nd Steve. $96 dollar exacta.

That was a nice exacta but very aggravating to get nipped at the wire by a shorter price.

Tell me about it.

The 5th is going to come back a key race. Seems like it was pretty loaded.
