Saratoga 2014 Thread
 

OK - time to start off this years Spa information.

Brisnet's Dick Powell is always a good read (to me at least ). This article is one about Jocks .

The new show on HRTV, The Horizon, will be a great resource for 2yos at Saratoga and other tracks.

Where is Powell's data to support his "extreme anti-speed bias" in Belmont turf sprints theory?

bias is more a differing opinion than fact, is it not ? you can look at all the data you want, there are other factors involved.

Good question, why not send him an email ? I try to avoid turf sprints myself.

Hi - May I ask, do you subscribe online or get it on TV in a package ? Is it worth it ? I can only get it online .

Me too. I will bet a turf route of any class, anywhere. But 5f-6f, I generally pass.

online. I really enjoy it, but I also don't have cable so it is about the only thing I have to watch so I may find it more entertaining than it really is. :D

Spa website up now

Anyone know if Carolina BBQ under Steve's supervision will be back again this year?

No.. Sorry Larry. Wrestled with the decision all winter but just can't justify the time and expense involved. I didn't feel I could attend to both the show and BBQ ably.

Another missive on Saratoga, this time a look at Turf sprints, my personal bane. Maybe I will learn something for my p4 bets when in the sequence. Didnot know there were so many run.

anything that takes time away from the racing form and free winners is expendable. nuff said.

Excellent stuff from some character named Doug Salvatore on trainer #s at the Spa.
