8/6: Saratoga (Day 16; $73k C/O)
 

Wonderful Whitney-Vanderbilt weekend despite weather and messy card hiccup Sunday. C/O into Monday on very difficult srquence. The 10# bug in the Spa pp's today is Dylan Davis, son of Robbie and termed a natural by respected eyes. On 2 for Wes Ward. Best of luck as he launches his following in his dad's and sisters footsteps. Hope everyone did OK this weekend and have room for another afternoon of wagering frolic.

Steve, today is 8/6. I didn't think my b-day was until Wednesday but had to double check. Good luck today.

One of my alltime favorites....

Steve, FYI, in your pick 6 play in the 6th, I believe you meant to single the 2, not the 3.

That's so great.. Will ask Mike Caruso (Bethlehem Stables) the association. He names a lot of the horses he has with Dubb. Grace Hall from Lehigh where Caruso was All American wrestler, etc..

Thanks Nick! G/L today..
