SUN FUN AND COCKTAILS AT THE SPA

[Generation XYZ]

Beautiful Women, Weather and plenty of Bourbon! Meet me at the Spa, we can have a little chat if you know what I mean...

[Generation XYZ]

Another day another $5000.00 wasted at the SPA. This has to be one if not the most disappointing TB Meets in Saratoga history.

Wasted on women and bourbon?

Mainly, yes not so much at the track.

Bringing back great memories. I attended 20 or so meets and on Friday nights I would walk to Ciros right after the track to see Commander Cody et al . I would tip the walk around servers as soon as I got in and let them know to keep the Dewars and water coming until I left. I got loaded I was dysfunctional on Saturday. Great times.

My manta this year is "Next Year in Saratoga"!

I'm jealous.

Were you wearing a Yankees hat, I think I saw you

No, SHE was!

Another SPA Weekend down the tubes. Chad Brown cant be that good.  Or maybe his vet is just that good.  What a smug A-hole he is. Finished the night at Desperate Annies. Nice Bar, good crowd, and plenty of Bourbon to sooth the days racing wounds.

$5g worth of 10c straight supers? Too bad you couldn't win on any of the 50,000 chances.
 
Another mind bettor and poseur.
I give you less than a week until you disappear from this site forever.

I think your name says it all. A hasbeen, that most likely never was!

I don’t know what gives to make Chad so good but I know whether it s Pletcher, Clement, Rice or Brown they get so many horses some of them have to be very good. Unlike harness racing, thoroughbred owners can cough up $500,000-$1,000,000 for one yearling. We saw this Sunday and two of these didn’t win first time out. I bet they get their share of clunkers and ship them out very quickly. We probably never hear much about them. They all also have a small army of people who work for them. Many don’t earn enough to live on their own. There is a lot of poverty on the backstretch of Saratoga.

I agree that poverty on the back stretch dosent seem to align with all the money paid on the front end. Especially as you said. The amount of money TB owners pay for yearlings. You'd think it would be a better quality of life for all involved. Saratoga has been one huge disappointment this year.
