Hey all, I'm sharing sweet congratulations for Katie
@jockeykdavis
for achieving her 300th career win with a fabulous ride on Bobby M's Girl today at the Big A. Well deserved, keep moving forward!!!!
Kindly note: I've been totally engrossed in my Saratoga opening day handicap, I'm realizing a few horses that may very well get dismissed at the window, & can blow up the tote board, I plan on sharing my full card grid with you fine people before I hit the road, likely Tuesday
Before the end of the Saratoga Meet, we have to get this special smile in the winner's circle for her 300th win, perhaps as soon as tomorrow in the opener, Let's Go!
@jockeykdavis
I'm feeling it
I told you guys last night I had a plan , I was capping all night

To believe is a beautiful thing
Attention to detail works too 😎
Gotta Get-em folks
After all the hype & discussion & weeks of prognostication there were ONLY two at the wire, the TWO best three-year-olds in the country, a head apart, leaving everyone else behind, now BOTH the only 3-Time G1 winners.
A beautiful gal & a handsome guy

I go out of my way to share my strongest play at TOGA, Wish List is 10-1 M/L 9:2 at gate, horrible bobble, spots field 13+ to 1st turn, faces 23.89 & 49, forced to swing 6W, flying & missed by 1
she wins by 3+ with clean break, cost me big $$, & I get some ignorance from a few?
Delighted to meet a real legend of the sport today

Les Reys, this gal appears to be much the best, makes her 6th start, all different courses, travels well, sits perfect trip, I trust Johnny V. She runs her race, she wins 👍
I didn't get Tapit Trice home, but I did some hanging with Mike Smith after he won the Haskell Stakes on Geaux Rocket Ride who I gave much respect to as a real contender in my video analysis.
As for Smith, a class-act Hall Of Famer still got it 👍

Yesterday at Saratoga
Just sharing as an example that you can play a low risk ticket ($8 1 single, 4 2 deep) and hit a pick 5, this was a heartbreaking loss, as my 4=$3700 & 11=$14,866 both lost leads in deep stretch, the

#Saratoga
When you have your PP's nice and early, do your handicap without the ML's you don't need them, YOU create the ML, as you see it, don't be distracted, then on race day you will know if your horses are an overlay or an underlay in YOUR eyes, you're in a fight, focus to the finish
Remembering stretch calls & getting tips from Harry
Felix makes his 1st bet with his lucky sweater
Odd Couple Circa 1975
So who remembers 976-6969 stretch calls? And the race calls at OTB only at Saratoga
