I would say this is one of the worst Saturday cards at Saratoga ever. And on Whitney day no less.

Sunday's card is teriffic though.

When Asiatic Boy scratched I decided to stay home.

I'll do the Pick 3 that starts with the 8th, singling Our Golden Dream(15-1 ml odds) with Flashing in the Test; both Commentator and Dry Martini in the Whitney

So....is Commentator done? Another subpar performance...

[The Indomitable DrugS]

That was just a terrible field in the Whitney.

If that wasn't a perfect indictment of the absolute travesty that is the handicap division then I don't know what is.

How subpar was it really? Sure he's not nearly the horse he was the last couple years but he set a solid contested pace again today and was the only one of those 3 around in the lane to duke it out with the closers. It's not as though he can't compete within this year's BAD handicap division evidenced by Bullsbay just winning a G1. Regardless this was the horse's main goal so he's probably done anyway.

how much the best was Macho Again? Tough ride. I like Bullsbay so i don't really mind, but MA was best.

Macho has as much natural talent and stamina as a lot of these, he just hasn't had the super-trainer effect.

Totally disagree. Much the best? If anything Rose moved early on Bullsbay.

For a one-run plodder who needs a perfect setup to be even remotely successful, I thought he got his setup and ran his race.

I have no idea what's making you think he was much the best.

I agree it looked like Commentator disrupted Macho Again just enough to throw him off. He did look like he was closing very strong. I'd keep an eye on him going into Belmonts Fall meet.

What's fallen off worse, the older male division in racing or the heavyweight division in boxing?
