I don't believe that Quality Road will get 2010 Horse of the Year-up to this point, it appears to be already taken by an already long-standing champion which I will not mention here.

And for the ferns, it is absolutely ludicrous that patrons that come to the track feel that they have the right to leave with a fern in hand-outright stealing! So glad that they won't be able to do it this year!

But some traditions never die-

When you ask someone do they like horseracing, their answer is. "We wouldn't miss going to Saratoga!"

When you think racehorses, you think Saratoga. Some may say what about Santa Anita, Aqueduct, Monmouth, they are all great tracks but the sounds of racing history are really at Saratoga, the fall leaves, the spring ponds, the echo of reporters in their trenchcoats running to the rail from days past, "racehorse" and "Saratoga" will always be in the same breath.

I liked QR's performance in the Woodward, but it sure wasn't a blowout. He will need to be in tiptop condition if he is going to wait it out until the BC Classic.

How strange that people attending Saratoga of all places feel free to steal openly!? I thought it was one of the few classy places left in this country.

Vic,

On Thursday we noticed the Carousel was closed and the kitchen equipment was being packed and moved. We luckily got ours then!!!

How can the Woodward remain a grade I race? Well, maybe because 9 of the last 16 winners of the Woodward went on to win Horse of the Year.

Have enjoyed your reports. Q Road will not win the Classic. 1:50 against a weak field like that? They won't be able to drag him a mile and a quarter. How can the Woodward remain a Grade 1? Answer: because it's a NYRA race.
