~ And The Kitten At 9/2 That Should Reward Me With How Much $$$

If Kitten Were Maybe 10/1 or More U Know I Woulda Had Him!

RQ, she has you there. When will we ever learn you can't second guess a woman, especially a cat woman and even more so a Ruffian cat woman.

Just remember this is Saratoga, where the final odds can vary dramatically from the Morning Line. In the just completed 7th race today, I was excited to cash a win ticket on Conquest Sure Shot. A winning ticket is always a great thing, but Conquest was 12-1 on the ML, yet went off at only 5-1 with only one rather insignificant scratch in the race. The whim of the crowd, on perhaps Andy Serling's pre race comments, can move the tote dramatically.

I don't know about the Ruff but I would take an $11.00 winner any day of the week but then again I am a chalk eater in the win position. Good thing I rarely bet to win. Actually I rarely bet at all.

No Grand Slam for me. Too many MTO's with iffy weather. Is Joly waiting on late scratches so he can dive in ? Good luck to all. As for Ruffians theory of wagering I only have one word. DIGGER!

Never mind late scratches. I'm still waiting for a clue on Early scratches. None yet at 11:14. So far all races are on the turf, but I'm worried about what might happen by mid afternoon. No Grand Slam for me this week either - I like to have a single in the anchor leg, which allows a spread in the early legs and the chance for multiple hits. I read in this morning's Saratoga Special that my single in the De La Rose, Sassy Little Lila, was probably going to scratch and wait for the Fourstardave, where she will get a weight break.

Added at 11:20 - Ah, finally. All of the MTO's have been scratched, so the horsemen seem confident that the turf races will remain.
