Steve : Hard to believe that the meeting of the annual horse racing calendar draws to its close today. Speaking for myself, normally I am quite burned out from Saratoga at this end-of-summer point, but the energy for Saratoga still seems so high - not only from me, but many others. That says something about the quality of racing and the overall experience this season - perhaps higher than several previous years. I, for one, do not underestimate the sunnier skies over NYRA this year as driving more positive momentum than years past. Here's to hoping that even a fraction of this summer's energy carries over to the Belmont meeting!
