Hmmmm Venue for 8/29???
Canterbury Park looks tempting with the 200K Mystic Lake Derby? I wonder what else is going on next Saturday?

Congrats on your Del Mar win. I've heard that a short freshening can work wonders. |

I'm waiting for suggestions . . . is Saratoga still running?

I think that Saratoga is still running; it IS the August place to be. They have a couple of semi-historic stakes races on Saturday and I've heard that all of the folks who let you park your car on their front lawn are adding another zero to the advertised price. Must be expecting a big crowd for something special. |

OK . . . all joking aside, it's Saratoga of course . . . with 7 awesome stakes races and a chance to see American Pharoah do something that has only been done once before . . . as he works his way towards the BC Classic. And I still maintain we have not seen him at his best yet.
Ballerina S (gr. I) BC 3&up f/m 7f Ketel One Ballston Spa (gr. II) 3&up f/m 8.5f King's Bishop S (gr. I) 3yo 7f Personal Ensign (gr. I) BC 3&up f/m 9f Priority One Jets Forego (gr. I) BC 3&up 7f Sword Dancer (gr. I) BC 3&up 12f Travers S (gr. I) 3yo 10f It will be a fun but gripping day when it's time for the Travers.
