Exactly how I felt.

I dont see how anyone can defend the way that moron rode Relaxed Gesture. He rode him like a harness horse. You cant send a horse to the front, be able to go slow fractions and reign him back off a slow pace. Did he really think the horses in front of him were going to back up and he was going to go by?

Not going to say he was worth 3/5 and its not like it cost me any kind of score, but its a frustrating way to be out of pick and double tickets.

I was appalled that Kent D, for the 2nd Saturday in a row, took a heavy favorite that I keyed in many picks and doubles off the board.

If Swirling Solomon had won the last race at Saratoga, theres no telling what I would have done. I was rooting so hard for anybody to beat this horse, you would have actually thought I had money on the race.
