9/1: Saratoga (Day 34)

[Kasept]

It's one thing to have a poor day when you know you struggled with the events... But Friday was as thoroughly a bad performance as seems possible, and it came having gone into the card really comfortable with what I thought I saw while handicapping.

Turf played like the old California main tracks, and results on the main were completely beyond my opinion. Only Nownownow in the 2yo stake prevented the day from being an utter disaster. Managed to keep the losses under $100, but arrive for final 32 races up just $200.00 for the meet. Now or never time with great holiday weekend on tap.. Hope you did OK despite my guidance..
