ROI Results 8/26 @ Saratoga
Once again we witnessed the best and the worst of racing at Saratoga on Saturday and I can't
make any sense of it. Horses love to run and love to run fast. The people in charge have to come up with solutions to make it safer. Everybody says it. It just has to get done. The status quo is not good enough. The card was exciting, most of the racing was awesome and as a group we visited the mutuel window 6 times. Cal and Zippy caught small winners but you had to show a profit if you wanted to share in the points awarded. DonGuido caught a trifecta in race 7 to finish fourth and went home with a small profit. Joly B gets the show spot with a small exacta that he had 60 times for a nice profit of $80. Real Quiet takes second place with an exacta in race 4 and a key scratch. As they say, "sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you". Cruzan feasted this Saturday and the bear went hungry. In the 6th Cruzan put $25 to win on the nose of Bear Oak and was rewarded with a payout of $37.20 for each deuce bet for a grand return of $465 and win number 5 on the season. From there to the wire Cruzan was on Cruz Control and withstood all challenges. Congrats on the win Cruzan. Nicely played. Following are the unofficial results pending a review. WIN...

Congrats to all those that made a profit. Would like to expound on the horrific breakdown of that horse last weekend, but what can you say to make it better? Just hope the powers that be can find a way. Santa Anita seems to have gotten a handle on the problem there, but don't know if the same methods would work a continent away with different weather and climate, soil, etc. Very frustrating for fans, horsemen, riders, and racetrack people alike.
Gonna get off here now. Woke up with eye problems today that I haven't had in about 20 years. Probably spending way too much time starring at computer screens.

AFTER THE TEARS
After The Tears Have Stopped Falling After The Heartaches Subside... My Mind Is Asking The Question... Why Many Good Horses Have Died? Is It The Breeding Or Training? Is It The Fault Of The Track? Is It The Greed And The Money? Or Only The Conscience We Lack? Why Are The Legs Oh So Fragile That Two And Three Year Olds Die? Why Can't The Doctors Repair Them? And, Worse Yet, Why Don't They Try? Is Insurance Money The Answer? And To Save Them Not Worth The Price? Is Saving Our Beautiful Horses Worth Less Than The Toss Of The Dice? Some Say It's Part Of The Game Now It's Simply The Price We Must Pay! My Heart Tells Me Something Quite Different It Says That We Must Find A Way..... A Way To Develop More Soundness A Way To Have Youngsters Grow Old! A Way To Secure A Safe Future For All Of The Dreams That We Hold. So, After The Tears Have Stopped Falling And, After The Heartaches Subside Let's All Seek To Find Honest Answers Of Why Those We Loved Now Have Died. (C) LADY CAT 🐱

Race #2 Feathers Road
Race # 3 Kylander Race #5 Bear Oak Race #6 Lady De Berry Race #10 Dr. B Race #11 Pioneering Spirit Race $12 Tapit Price These Are My Picks From Upinclass. Unfortunately I Was Not Credited For Race #2 Because It Was Put In Late. Too Bad Also I Missed The Deadline For Horsetourneys Contest R#1 To Rac#13. I Would Have Won Big AND NO, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT I COULD CHOOSE FROM ANY RACE THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE CONTEST
