8/30: Saratoga (Day 29; Personal Ensign)

[Kasept]

Enjoyed damp but entertaining Travers Day Saturday which was punctuated by resounding feature victory by Tim Ice's Summer Bird. Have somewhat force fed listeners Ice and the sweet Birdstone colt who rose to the top of the 3yo males dispatching the over-hyped Quality Road and Kensei with utter disdain. Travers result helped close out a largely successful afternoon. Hope you did well. 11 race card Sunday is a bit more than anyone wants around Spa after yesterday's 13 race extravaganza, but let's have at it!
