Weeks Have Passed
Since I last posted, but I have a great excuse: A new job, at a certain racing publication, for which I and the racing companion must relocate to New York in a few days. So, things have been busy around here, although time was found this weekend for a visit to a muddy, messy Suffolk Downs on Saturday:
And a quick trip to Saratoga, where I watched horses work in the fog Monday morning:
Regular posting will resume, eventually. In the meantime, I highly recommend my fellow TBA bloggers and an exciting new venture from Alan of Left at the Gate: Racing Saratoga.
On This Day …
– “On this day in 1936, Tom Smith, an experienced horse trainer, spied an unlikely looking three-year-old Thoroughbred on the track at East Boston’s Suffolk Downs.” [Thanks to our friend Bill for the link.]
– Trainer John Rigattieri “is on a winning streak not seen at Suffolk Downs since John F. Kennedy was known only as a Harvard student.” The trainer kept the streak alive on Saturday with one win, on Monday with two, on Tuesday with another two, and on Wednesday with an impressive four wins out of the day’s nine races.
