The 6th is shaping up as a great race...truly the race of the day. A VERY different Memphis Mon will have to show up for this heat to be even remotely competitive. Between Congo King, Star Dabbler, Political Force, Spring At Last and South of Broad this should be one helluva race.

The 7th race is pretty interesting too!! I'm the Tiger, Spooky Mulder, Vicarage, Kazoo, Awesome Twist, Spanish Chestnut... sheesh!! Nice field.

You're right, the 7th is a terrific race as well.

Spooky Mulder and City Weekend seem to be the only two horses without much of a chance in there.

From 7/26 through 7/31 they have 6 straight days of racing that include a graded stakes race. A graded stakes race on a Thursday! Another one on a Monday! Does it get any better than Saratoga? I can't wait.

It gets no better than Saratoga my friend. The best six weeks in racing. There is almost nothing to dislike about the meet.

BTW,
Yes!
Helluva race!
Should be very very! But, as you know, that's what Toga is about.
