Saratoga 2023

Is having a rough meet. 3 on track fatalities is hard on everyone. Of course handicappers who bet on White Abarrio are happy right now. You know Dutrow is. Was anyone else surprised when he got his trainers license back and that he seems to be getting pretty good horses already?

The industry could not have picked 2 worse stories - the beloved Mel losing her live and the accused doper Dutrow winning a G1 after 10 years in racing jail (even if he was somehow innocent). All of the media narratives are rivited in place. And so many regular folks can't bear to watch it all.
