![]() Always a special day when your team wins a race and getting 'your picture took' at Saratoga is a further enhancement of the experience. My Pal of Pals moved forward Sunday off what amounted to an exercise run a week before and scored at 7-1 in the 4th. Junior Alvarado, a source of frustration in the previous try, rode an exceptional race on the City Zip colt, avoiding a possible inquiry by holding Pal together when he tried to lug in at the sixteenth pole after taking the lead. In addition to the $16.40 win tote, Pal tripped a $35.50 exacta with 2nd choice Freud's Debut and $248.50 triple with Spirit of Peace with his second career win. Thanks to Gary & Paul and their staff, Junior, the partners and everyone who was rooting along. It was another memorable day at the old Spa. Hope everyone did well!

![]() no I didn't, but I couldn't resist the Francis Scott Key reference. National Anthem stuff is great. Marvin Gaye did that spectacular one. Whitney Houston killed it. One of my faves was in Boston, when after the fans in Montreal booed the American version unmercifully, 2 days later when the habs came to town, the loud standing ovation for the Canadian National anthem even had the Canadian players scratching their heads. Don Cherry was in his glory. Jennifer Hudson in the Super Bowl was the most profitable as she came through with the over at a generous price of 3-2, after losing family members in a tragedy. She sang for them and it was awesome.
