My Saratoga pet peeve is running Stakes races after fans have already started to shuffle back home to get ready for their Sat night.
Run all Stakes races before 6pm. Have them talk about the stake race as they exit instead of the 5-2 exacta in the race that won't bring new fans to Belmont in the fall.
I compare it to a birthday party. Do you leave before they Sing "Happy Birthday" to the person of the hour? No, nearly in all cases, you stay, and then people start to exit after the cake has been passed out.
Epic Miss Justice should have been a co-favorite in her race based on her past race alone. Not to mention her first race she was beaten by two CB stakes winners/horses. Co best beyer in the field. Unreal 23-1 but I’ll take it.

It makes for long days.

23-1 was a gift
Thanks for the Kelso tribute.
Before my time but his record speaks for itself
