I'd kike to say that handicapping, pick-in the winner oF 1-3 is a very humbling experience at Saratoga. Throw your handicapping prowess and ego out the window and just enjoy . . . or try to find the upset after upset. Ga'luk with that. It's just the way it is but all that said, YA GOTTA LOVE IT . . .!!!

There's always next year but it will not change. And again, YA GOTTA LOVE IT!!!

First, you scared the crap out of me. Had to take a second look, OMG, did I miss DonGuido??? No I did not. Whew.

Second, Saratoga is over. It's been a very difficult season there. Nasty weather messed up a lot of handicapping.

Third, well, we can hope for better weather, right? And things will just keeping winding up until the end of the year. Go with it...let it flow through one's veins. It's all just for fun!

FUN!!! Not for me, it's blood and guts every Saturday. I go to bed mad and pouting ever weekend if I don't win the contest . . . and you think I'm kidding, well . . . . . I am. I am very competitive, have been all my life, but you're right this is a challenging but fun pass time that offers a welcome often anticipated break from the daily-weekly routine. And to be in this with all of the awesome folks here, makes it much the better!!! Ya'knows, I luvs y'all!!!

I know I wouldn't be here if I didn't enjoy it. Look where I wind up every week. I'm getting there, though. Gotta get back in stroke as they say in the pool world.
