Steve

What was that in 6th? Better check for electrodes lol

These Late Pick 5s starting off with 2YO races are killing me. I thought I was smart to toss that Tacitus 2YO and had the 2,3, and 7 then saw the 1 flying like the others were standing still.

Ya I singled the 3. Strange race

Castellano was 1-45 going into that race and Joe Orseno hasn’t even finished in the money at Saratoga in the last 5 years.

Go figure.

Nice call Steve on the 4 in R10.
Bailout exacta.
It didn't make sense why they would keep that horse around for 2 years and don't start him back in a maiden claimer.
They had to like him

100% agree..
