So happy it was at Saratoga.  Bittersweet win.

The Lieutenant has a runner at Saratoga today in the 7th, a MSW for 2yr olds, NY bred.  Name:  Lt. Mitchell.  Love it when the breeder is also the owner and that is Perretti.  Trainer is Levine.

Safe racing to all today.

Thanks!

Last day for Saratoga racing

I will miss it

Fox will be happy -- they won't have to interrupt

Bowling or curling  to show these races

I hadn’t heard why he was still off mounts, and found this

Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano suffered a dislocated ankle Saturday when his foot struck the inner rail during the running of the third race at Saratoga and will sit out the final two days of the track's meet.

I knew he had an injury of some sort but didn’t realize it was dislocated. Yikes that’s got to hurt.
