7/29: Saratoga (Day 10-Honorable Miss; $330k C/O)
 

Another wild Sunday produced 4 big prices and upended P6 tries which leaves the Week 2 epilogue with a $330k double carryover pot. It was hit or 'miss' early in the day as Miss Frost ($29.20) and Miss Lamour ($29.40) clicked in the 3rd/4th to help trip a $2,700 P4. The P6 was over quickly for most as $36 Meeker Avenue found his 2012 form and $69 Dissension dispatched nearly all players. Shockingly, one ticket was live to 'trip last out' Spin Chief for the pool, but Jimmy Jerkens' Thingamajigger won well in the nightcap.

Got very little accomplished at the windows other than one decent P3 mid-card and was stung for several hundred by day's end. Hope all did OK. It's been a challenging weekend and there are no slam dunks Monday either. It is Bill Mott's birthday, so there should be a winner between his offerings in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th or 9th!

gl steve 0...its bill motts b day act accordingly

Addressed that in the blurb...

FYI . if you care Bullet Baby wears a bar shoe. also, did Cashleigh have an excuse last time ? or did he just run awful ?

Any idea what this means?

10 8 Light Weight RUNS WITH SHOES FRONT & HIND

Did she previously race with no shoes or just fronts / just hinds? Can't recall noticing this change before

May want to adjust P4 tickets if possible as I think the #4 Scienziato is a late scratch in the last.
