Sadly, that's gonna be NY breds, to I think you're right. Still, even mediocre racing at Saratoga is special. The real key is if they can keep those races on the weekday cards and keep the weekends strong.El Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145024095815950963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-42524257043411102672007-07-21T22:41:00.000-04:002007-07-21T22:41:00.000-04:00I'm also pumped for the start at the Spa.

I saw a bit in the Courier Journal where Churchill was analyzing what type of races attracted the largest pools. Any chance a wagering boycott of poor races would even be noticed by NYRA?ljkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15345829432231688681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-54198488452244660782007-07-21T12:07:00.000-04:002007-07-21T12:07:00.000-04:00I like Mt Langfuhr at a price in the 6th.

Agree about the CCA Oaks and the rest of the card in general - Spa can't open quick enough.inthebeginningtherewasacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263151474570524394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-2747864818862476862007-07-21T11:52:00.000-04:002007-07-21T11:52:00.000-04:00I discussed the CCA Oaks on my blog, but I think i...I discussed the CCA Oaks on my blog, but I think it's pretty tough to get past Octave, and I'll try a few bombs behind him. Outside of the 3rd and the feature, it's a hideous card.El Angelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14145024095815950963noreply@blogger.com
