Default ROI Results 8/01 @ Saratoga

Saratoga 2020. A lot of losing tickets and small fields. Saturday was no different. But
that's horse racing. There is always another race tommorrow. At least there was a
small consolation. Plenilune cashed a ticket so everything wasn't a total loss.
Following are the unofficial results. See you all next week at......I wonder where?

Plenilune -$26.25 SAR r8 $25 W/P #1 $5.90 X 12.5... $73.75

Swedejxn -$96.00

Don Guido -$96.00

Roamin -$100.00

Joly B -$100.00

Real Quiet -$100.00

Cal828 -$100.00

Indian Hemp -$100.00

Ruffian -$100.00

Cruzan -$100.00

Isn't there a race named after William R. Travers coming up soon?

Oh, OK. That must mean that Retama has named its major race after him. Also Bowie and Crockett, but probably not Santa Anna.

RQ, I think you may be thinking about William B. Travis. He was the commander of the ill fated Texans, Tennesee volunteers, etc. Not that I know anything about Texas history, but I did see the movie with John Wayne.

Very true Cal. I always fact check my nonsensical posts beforehand. I knew the Saratoga race was in fact named for the country singer Randy Travis.

Making nonsensical posts is a true talent which is to be admired. I lean toward the trivial myself. I excel at the regurgitation of little known facts that nobody knows and few people care about. I was thinking the race might have been named after Mary Travers. I think she was the blonde haired lady in the singing group Peter, Paul and Mary or maybe it was Nancy Travers. I think she plays Tim Allen's wife in that comedy show on Fox.
