9/2: Saratoga (Day 40-Hopeful, Glens Falls)

[Kasept]

With weather turning horrific in the 'foothills of the Adirondacks', closing day at the Spa will be pretty messy. But after approximately 37 days of spectacular weather and entertaining, rewarding racing, we can't really complain. The conclusion of the summer holiday and Spa stand comes after a tumultuous weekend that saw the death of a blue collar star, accusations of buzzer use in the Travers, Woodward and Forego upsets and a gloriously popular Spinaway win by a stunning Leah Gyarmati filly. Will not have enough time for elaboration in print, so I'll have to do the summarizing live on the radio this morning...

Very good day at the windows Sunday and we'll hope Day 40 isn't too badly impacted by the weather as to render it moot. 2013 season was intense and challenging and positive overall. Hope everyone enjoyed the coverage and found success along the way...

Told Tina to bet a little something on Tina's Note but she didn't... She would have if Typhoon Teri had stayed in. Teri is her sister's name!
