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?

[Alabama Stakes]

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.

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

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 .

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.

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

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.

Steve - Will it makes its return in 2014? And will you be broadcasting live from the deck?

Steve answered this earlier in the Saratoga 2014 thread:

Understandable but regrettable.

Thanks.

For the folks from the area - any new restaurants/bars worth checking out this year?

The old 'Saratoga Dining' threads pointed to some nice spots over the years.
