    Del Mar .... better than Saratoga..... not even close

    Year after year off tracks and cancellations at Saratoga... getting old.... Del Mar is a better racing environment... for both our equine friends and us!

    Yeah, I used to play only Southern Cal tracks (back when Hollywood Park was still here); now Santa Anita had gone down hill quite a bit with small field sizes and speed and favorites tend to win too often. Del Mar has picked it up recently, no doubt about that. I do like NYRA, used to play some Gulfstream too. Just don't like the winter time for NYRA... too many cancels....

    Yeah, winter times I usually don't even bother looking at NYRA; for SPA, I look at the forecast before I even buy the form; try not to waste my time and money..

    Wanna do a day at Saratoga then hit a few at Vernon for a double track day sometime this meet…been threatening for years so it probably won’t happen but it’s nice to think about…
