Quote:
Sciacca was actually yelling for Tina, who had joined the photographers line for the award ceremony, instead of standing in with us! It was very special, and I'm exceedingly grateful to Gary, Barry Frey, Tina and NYRA for the gesture towards my mother's memory. As for sitting with Andy... that's a nice compliment. I thought I had enough strong days to more than offset the bad, with a number of individual big price horses that offered the opportunity to key profit. I hope those that regularly used my opinion came away ahead for the meet. But Andy basically sits alone after this summer. His work was consistantly remarkable day after day, and his ability to identify mammouth on-the-spot opportunities during the pre-race prattle was stunning. Pletcher's Interactif from last week was one example ($30+ winner). I heard from several people who specifically 'got out' for the meet on that single Sterling push. The giant price Paulino Ortiz score from opening week is another that comes to mind. I obviously couldn't hear every pre-race insight he provided, but anyone who simply allowed his thoughts to be infused into their play meet-long, benefitted substancially.
