JolyB is on a roll taking another one this week leaving everyone in the mud! Real Quiet takes a healthy second. RUFFIAN-333 comes home third. cal828 is a whisker behind to round out the super.

Just want to thank everyone for participating in the contest. It's great to "see" you all!

That must have been a very difficult contest to score, Plen, given the numerous scratches, races being taken off of the turf, and MTO's drawing in. It's fortunate that the 10th and 11th were cancelled early in the day, since the turf course would have been a bog after that deluge before the Whitney. Still, the performance by Diversify was worth waiting around to see.

Despite all of the rains, this has been a memorable Saratoga season so far. Personally, I could continue it as long as possible, but I know that not everyone feels that way. So, for next week's venue I'll probably take the advice of Horace Greeley, at least to a small extent.
