WOW!!! What a day today. First and foremost, big thanks to Steve for his late P-4 selections. A great way to end the last 3 days of racing at the SPA.
I have had many special experiences at the Saratoga, but today may have been the topper. The day was filled with alot of laughs and many great stories as I was able to join Joe the Dude, Hickory, Ateam, Steve, Chuck's dad and Chuck on the patio at Carolina BBQ. In addition, the day also included meeting, the Mig, Michael Blowen from Old Friends and MAYLAN STUDART  .But things continued on and after a little late P-4 celebration at Siros, the Dude, Hickory and I headed over the the sales to join Chuck and his dad. Tonite's sales were a who's who of racing industry to include Sheik Mo  dressed down in jeans and a t-shirt.  The setting was very festive and the horses looked great. If you are able to visit the SPA, you need include an evening at the sales. It is truly an electric experience.Looking forward to the next SPA visit later this month. DB

Thanks all... Much like last Monday, a great way to end the first third of the meet after slowly leaking money for much of the week. Reiterates the 'stay the course' message. But I didn't think it was the best play of the day...
More than the P4, I thought the real score was the Proud Zoe keyed triple in the 2nd. I didn't understand the tote at all with Shug's firster being bet down ridiculously. Proud Zoe had faced the best 2yo filly in the country and other good ones in her starts, and should have been 3-5. Romans' firster was overlooked at 12-1, and Afleet Maggi, the other logical behind Zoe, was the beneficiary of the money on Protesting at 11-2. Those were the only three I laid out and used, and the $170 tri ($2) is an outrageous 85-1 bonus payday on the key of Zoe (3-2) over the pair... in a 7 horse field! I hope some had that... The short priced winner with monster prices underneath continues to be the story of the meet wagering-wise. Hope all did well as we all take a breather before gearing it back up tomorrow!
