And They’re Off at Saratoga

Saratoga 2004
Everything I’d heard about Saratoga was true: The track was beautiful, the racing magnificent, the atmosphere lively. I only wish I could have been there more than three days. No big wins for me, but my racing companion scored in the first race of the second day, a steeplechase, when 15-1 Paradise’s Boss won, paying $32.20.
