9/7: Saratoga (Day 40; Hopeful; $449k C/O); Del Mar (Futurity; $142k C/O)

[Kasept]

An exceptional summer of racing at Saratoga -- and everywhere else -- comes to a close today with a manic Labor Day that features 'must pay' sequences that start with carryovers..

• Saratoga $448,913: 6th-11th (3:19pm ET)
• Gulfstream $662,401: 6th-11th (3:34pm ET)
• Golden Gate $44,458: 1st-5th (4:45pm ET)
• Del Mar $142,691: 5th-10th (7:16pm ET)

Hope everyone has had a great season. As always, it's a little sad to see Saratoga end, but it's brevity makes it special. Let's try to close out Summer '15 in a big way!
