8/14: Saratoga (Day 19; G2 Lake Placid); Del Mar ($58k C/O)

[Kasept]

Spa momentum that began last Sunday hit a high note Thursday with best day of the stand fully righting U.S.S. Bankroll. Been interesting that after at least zeroing in on winners, the ticket structure aspect has been fortunate and certainly Kacy Lauren helps us all get lucky in the P5/P4 anchor leg. And as I've been saying, if not for success at Del Mar, I can't benot sure I'd have had the pocket to keep clawing away at Saratoga. Hope to carry keep pressing forward through the 2nd half of the SAR/DMR seasons now that we're all operating in the black. Hope everyone got whole! More intrigue today with a good P4 at Saratoga and a $58k C/O at Del Mar..
