ROI Results 8/01 @ Saratoga

[Real Quiet]

Saratoga 2020. A lot of losing tickets and small fields. Saturday was no different. But
that's horse racing. There is always another race tommorrow. At least there was a
small consolation. Plenilune cashed a ticket so everything wasn't a total loss.
Following are the unofficial results. See you all next week at......I wonder where?

Plenilune -$26.25 SAR r8 $25 W/P #1 $5.90 X 12.5... $73.75

Isn't there a race named after William R. Travers coming up soon?

There was a guy at the Alamo named Travers.

Oh, OK. That must mean that Retama has named its major race after him. Also Bowie and Crockett, but probably not Santa Anna.

RQ, I think you may be thinking about William B. Travis. He was the commander of the ill fated Texans, Tennesee volunteers, etc. Not that I know anything about Texas history, but I did see the movie with John Wayne.

Very true Cal. I always fact check my nonsensical posts beforehand. I knew the Saratoga race was in fact named for the country singer Randy Travis.

Making nonsensical posts is a true talent which is to be admired. I lean toward the trivial myself. I excel at the regurgitation of little known facts that nobody knows and few people care about. I was thinking the race might have been named after Mary Travers. I think she was the blonde haired lady in the singing group Peter, Paul and Mary or maybe it was Nancy Travers. I think she plays Tim Allen's wife in that comedy show on Fox.
