Santa Anita, 8-5
Churchill, 3-5
No BC in 2019, 3-1

Title: CD BC and Saratoga Dreaming
Post by: Fairmount1 on June 06, 2019, 09:50:31 PM

I\'m told my odds line is looking really good right now on CD....

As for the NO Bc in 2019 line:  if they don\'t have a midnight hour game plan when another problem happens at SA on the first weekend of Oct......they will get CD all lined up that fast?????
no way.....


As for a personal midnight hour deadline, special circumstances dictate I\'m not ALL IN on the Travers at Saratoga as prior years (back on schedule next year).  But I have to make it to see Uncle Bill, haven\'t bought my tickets/hotel yet??  Which weekend is the TG weekend of weeeknds???

I\'m hearing Whitney but want to make sure Mathcapper, wrongly, Belmont3, and all the other cast of characters will be there?  Sean?  Alan?  Jerry?  Rezlegal?  Trackjohn?  richiebee who convinced me to get up there???  Others I\'m forgetting at the moment??

Let\'s hear about Whitney Weekend....if not I\'m thinking Alabama or Travers.

Whitney weekend is starts Wed. July 31 and goes to Sunday August 4th.

I am already booked for Travers and closing weekend.

If you confirm, I will also book either Wed or Thurs. thru Sunday.

Probably Courtyard Marriot in Clifton Park.

Winstar has a big event for partners etc. that weekend and some of them stayed at Courtyard last summer.

Let me know ...text e-mail or here

Decision in next week Bob.  Likely Whitney but will put it in stone soon; if not Whitney, I\'ll splurge for Travers weekend.  Thanks.

Fairmont

Backside Friday and Saturday for Travers.  NYRA wants $350 for a seat in finish line suites so skipping that this year.

Big night of racing at CD next weekend, let me know if you are making it out!
