This place is really starting to slip.
T-minus 2 1/2 days to the Spa and still no "What's the weather going to be at Saratoga threads?"

It has to be the time change for the show. What a horrible decision by that awful company.

Everyone is too focused on betting win and place on the two chalks from each race

I'm very familiar with that technique, although I'll admit that Mrs. MaTH doesn't seem to be that big a fan of it.

The "How can I get free PPs for Saratoga" thread will get out of the gate first.

I've been to opening day for about 15 years straight and I have to say this is one of the more interesting cards I've seen in quite some time. Can't remember the last opening day when it was just a sunny and pleasant day in the low 80's.
It's usually one extreme type of weather or another. Either way, it looks to be a fun day!
