One Last Trip to Saratoga
My racing companion and I made one last trip to Saratoga for the season on Thursday. We opened the day with a lovely little win in the first race on Fabulous Peak, a gelding shipped in from Suffolk at the start of August who’s acquitted himself well at the Spa with two wins at the claiming $25,000 level. Our next win came in the third race, a steeplechase, when Tres Touche won at odds of 8-1. Between me and the RC, we’re 3-3 on steeplechases this summer, a record that I must ascribe to dummy god intervention, because neither of us knows anything about hurdles.
