8/10: Saratoga (Day 12/$58k C/O)

[Heels1989]

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.
