Saratoga Notes and Pix

Greetings from beautiful Saratoga! Although yesterday (Friday) brought the usual afternoon deluge (preceded by the usual Thursday afternoon deluge) - today - Alabama Stakes day - promises to be dry and sunny and just a beautiful day to be at the races, with friends, beautiful horses and bettable races!

Yesterday the Pace and Cap attendees started to roll into town and we had a great showing in the Festival tent. Wagercapper (Paul), tazzerbobo (Don), Bert Mane, Gandalf (Charlie B), My Pagine (Jon) and his dad Brian from Toronto, Pilot (Wayne), Mike T, lsos54 (Lou S) joined Mum and me during the day and again at the seminar in the evening.

I'll have some photos later as either Mum or I get some free time. Mum took some video of parts of the evening seminar and when we get those stitched together, we'll get those posted too.

We had a great timer at the seminar (by several accounts), where the folks from NHPLAY dropped by and made a presentation about their services, the notion of a Player's Union - from a betting stand point. Then the ('irReverend' ) Bert Mayne gave a rousing sermon (I mean talk ) about his experiences with the Sartin Methodology from 1984 up until today (including yesterday, where he cashed a nice bet on that SAR Race 2 $30 winner). Also his thoughts on the 'inner game' of handicapping. I made a presentation on RDSS2 and took some questions, then as is our tradition, Charlie B lead us in an analysis of today's Alabama Stakes and Sword Dancer Stakes. The heat was on to keep up the record of 4 years winning predictions in a row.

So today, with the promise of no rain, some great stakes and mostly playable other races - we move into Day 2 of our get together - wishing you were here!

Some photos to come, soon hopefully. Wishing you all a fine weekend of racing!

cheers,

Ted

Saratoga Notes and Pix

Hi Ted,

This is to let you know I'm reading some great news. But, I still want to learn more on RDSS2 Handicapping, and that this Festival Tent at Saratoga 2012 (Aug. 15-20) has been a great success!

God Bless you and let the bet make you,

DocSartinLearner (DSL)

I will do my do not rain dance for all those going today, let me know how well I did , please, lol.

Maybe an umbrella will be needed, have fun and stay dry.

Patrick,

We owe you a BIG ONE - your not-rain dance worked wonderfully on Saturday, and we had one of the best weather days I can remember at Saratoga. Perfect for watching the Alabama Stakes from the 8th pole seats. In the Friday eve seminar, we worked the Alabama as we usually do, and easily came up with Grace Hall and Questing as winners, but particularly identified In Lingerie as a strong Place contender. The thrilling finish saw Questing setting burning fractions ALL THE WAY AROUND, and In Ingerie pressing to come on at the finish for a very nice Exacta, which many of us had. Just a thrilling race by a likely 3 YO filly champion Questing.

So, thank you Patrick for your small role . Several folks asked after you, and we wished you were here.

Ted
