Joey Bianca's 2006 Saratoga Diary

[ateamstupid]

Creamed again on day off [Aug. 16th, 2006|10:50 pm]
Really thought I was pretty damn smart for singling that Levine horse in the 7th, then Octave set my pick four ticket aflame.

Earlier in the day, I was ready to kill someone after I tried to beat Wild Fit in the pick four with every horse except Frankel's.. Luckily that $1,500,000 dog (who I singled) didn't win the fourth, so I didn't have to go 'cidal. As it is, the pick four was kinda light ($1,037) considering that two odds-on favorites got beaten (one at 1/4)..

Other than wagering-wise though, today was great. I got to sit and talk to Chuck Simon one-on-one for about an hour, and he's a very cool guy. Then, a little later on, Frankel came by and sat with us to eat, which was nice. Also, after Sciacca finally broke through in the win column, Esteban and I got to be in the photo, which had to be rushed like a mother****er since Bold Love was going totally haywire.. The horse took a bite at Gary's head and actually cut him pretty good, which sparked plenty of jokes (if only he had known all it took to get a 'toga win was a part of his scalp, etc.)..

Back to work tomorrow.. Sigh..
