9/1: Saratoga (Finale); PA Derby (PHA)

[Kasept]

The 42 days of Saratoga come to a close this afternoon: always a melancholy arrival. As much fun as these six weeks can be, they are also intense, grueling and frenetic. It has been a particularly memorable meet for me personally, and I hope that between the 'At the Races' broadcasts from here and attempts to help you make money with the daily selections, that I've been able to provide a portion of the Saratoga Summer experience. The first 21 days of the meet were the most lucrative for my plays, with these last 14 days a bit of a struggle. One final shot to finish the meet on a positive. Hope you've done well and have enjoyed these wondrous 36 race days...
