8/26: Saratoga (Day 25); Del Mar ($192k C/O)

[Kasept]

Travers draw Wednesday marks start of final third of Spa season. Despite highly unwelcome interruption to meet for me last week, hope to regain the solid momentum that has sustained my play the first half of Saratoga. On top of Day 25 on Union Avenue, Del Mar offers nearly $200,000 to start its' penultimate week, with a $65k Super Hi-5 Carryover in their 9th as well...

Hope everyone did well while I was away.
