Re: [Derby] Better Late Than Never ;-)
Hey Chuck and all,
Yes, the Royal Ascot meeting is always a highlight of the annual racing
calendar! It was great to see Frankie Dettori have another excellent Royal
Ascot meet as he closes out his career this year. A legend!
I agree about the readjustment with Golden Gate closing as I’ve always
enjoyed watching GGF. I’ve never been there, but I’ve just always enjoyed
their racing, no matter the field size.
I’ve been enjoying both Saratoga and Del Mar, though my ROI is not trending
positive at the moment, lol, at either meet. I, too, am going to try and
share some thoughts on Saratoga cards here and there.
I haven’t posted to the Derby List in quite a while, but I do read the
posts as they come in. Hope everyone is doing well.
