Tough Act To Follow

[Silver Charm]

Yesterday at Saratoga on Travers Day was as good as it gets for racing. Beautiful weather, exciting finishes, full fields with lucrative winning prices.

Class Acts in the winners circle after every race.

They need to bottle this day and market the hell out of it as what the sport is all about and why people should be a fan.

Pacific Classic Day at Del Mar will be severely challenged to match what occured yesterday at Saratoga. But the card looks good and I\'m sure they will give yesterday a run for everyones money.

The Travers finish was a tough beat or a great win depending on which end of the stick you were holding. Given the choice of taking another punch in the nose like the Travers finish yesterday by playing Del Mar or watching the Olympic Closing ceremonies there really is no choice. After a round of golf later today I will be lacing the gloves up because this time I will be punching back.
