Wild ride at Saratoga and JolyB wins it this week! RUFFIAN-333 is a solid second. DonGuido runs well for third. cruzan200246 nicely rounds out the super.

I'm in a bit of a quandary about the venue selection for next Saturday and would appreciate your input. We've been to the Spa for the past two weekends, and this coming Saturday Saratoga will have yet another superb card with both the Whitney and the Test. Our alternatives include a state bred stakes card at Louisiana Downs, a pretty good set of races at Del Mar, or West Virginia Derby Day at Mountaineer.

Past experience suggests to me that we're likely to do the Arlington Million card on the 12th, then go to Del Mar for the Pacific Classic on the 19th, and then cycle back to Saratoga for the Travers blockbuster card on the 26th (subject, of course, to the preferences of the week's winners).

My question for all of you is whether going to Saratoga this Saturday is too much of a good thing for anyone? If it were me, I'd go there 6 days every week, but would appreciate your thoughts before selecting a venue.

Thanks to all.

Would an all stakes card be too much to mess with
The best races of the tracks you mention

This may be the only time I am happy to have been second
and Not have to make this decision

Personally I am Happy NOT being at Spa again
Del Mar often has smaller fields in many races

Mountaineer usually has Big Fields

I think some players may not be happy with state bred races..LaD

I'm sure that this clears things up much better for you
