A Cold Season?
“There was a chill in the air Monday morning in the backstretch at Saratoga Race Course, perhaps as much a metaphor of the mood of this meeting as a herald of the change of seasons. People working on the inside and fans alike just didn’t seem to warm up to this six-week session as they usually do. I can’t put my finger on all of it, but there was a negative buzz surrounding this Saratoga session,” writes Matt Graves. Hm … perhaps it was all the Getnick & Getnick Integrity Hotline signs plastered everywhere. (Times Union)
