something to consider

Saratoga residents, be ready to cheer on two of your own Saturday. Flashy Bull, one of the favorites in the Whitney Handicap, is owned by West Point Thoroughbreds. Niel and Carole Nielsen are partners in that syndicate, which means they could pick up a HUGE home-field victory if Flashy Bull does his thing. No doubt, if the 4-year-old wins, one of the many popular restaurants in town will get a lot of business Saturday night!!

Weather is becoming a hot issue this afternoon as Saturday's four graded stakes races and Sunday's Jim Dandy fast approach. Showers and thunderstorms are forecast all weekend, so things could get messy. Don't forget, Darley Stud owns Street Sense's breeding rights now, so it may be out of trainer Carl Nafzger's hands as to whether or not the Derby winner runs Sunday.
