Really?

That must have been the day I was hanging in the Chairman's box with three supermodels.

He also never won on Whitney Day...or any day at Saratoga. He did, however, run third once in the first race, I think, on the turf one day.

Tell me the year, I'll tell you the winner of the Whitney.

1993-Brunswick
1994-Colonial Affair
1995- Unaccounted For

Those would be the years that Cigar was racing.

My guess is 1994, he ran on the grass and lost before switching to dirt and starting that incredible run.

Kelso, so lick me.

I only knew that because I knew kelso won three times, one year apart, in '61, '63, and '65.

For good measure I checked his PP's, he didn't even run on Whitney Day. i got my license that day, i was right about that, August 1st, 1994. He ran the next Saturday... and finished 3rd on the turf. The SPAC concert was August 2nd, 1994. God was i a stupid kid back then. My mother would have maimed me if she had known i had driven all the way to Saratoga and back, i think i told her we were going camping in the finger lakes!

moral of the story: never, EVER, debate Blackthroatedwind about Saratoga results. well done my man.
