[Kasept]

As it comes to a close, I hope you have enjoyed 'At the Races' coverage of the 2009 Saratoga Race Course season. It's been an intense 6 weeks filled with truly outstanding racing which in most measures exceeded expectation. More closing thoughts later in the week... Thanks for all your encouragement and support this summer.
