1 1/16 Miles on Inner Turf
INNER TURF (UP TO $8,100 NYSBFOA) FOR MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD AND UPWARD. Three Year Olds, 118 lbs.; Older, 124 lbs. Claiming Price $40,000.

Second over for Chad's PROGNOSTICATION. Figs are on a 4-race upsweep and the decent inside draw won't hurt.

That's a serious drop for Pletcher's ALL ABOUT VOODOO. Todd wants the trainer title real bad methinks.

There are bombers to diddle all over this race but Mott's MOHICAN caught my eye with Rosario up. Never has run this cheaply and fired his best fig in a turf race that went this very distance. Two for three in the $$$ with better over the weeds.

I wanna be in for all 13 contests.

ExBx: 2/4-6

I get the $33.40 getaway DD on a couple of tickets to make the losses smaller but I had great chances to catch a score all day that went badly.

Like Captain Wilson said to me back in '69 when he shook my hand and handed me my Honorable Discharge and DD-214 at Camp Pendleton when I was 21 after 4-year's hard with U.S.M.C: "Sergeant, nobody's going to give a fuck but at least you can say you've been there."

And I was at there at Saratoga today for all thirteen.

Gabby gave out three winners today that produced a flat-bet profit on a tough card. One was the getaway winner for $15.60.

Andy gave out three winners as well but it was all chalk and he'll be stooping again until it gets dark and the sweepers come by.

It irritates me when Andy berates Gabby on Talking Horses and rants and raves about a horse that "could win".

I tip my cap to the pretty blond lady from Maryland.

SHE'S BRIGHT AND CUTE.

She had a good day today too.
