UIC at Saratoga- First weekend in pictures

[tenfurlongs]

So the Pittsburgh Steelers-themed saddle towel belongs to...

Turf course is lush after the recent rain...

The paddock, awaiting the jockeys...

They polished up the Sea Hero statue in tribute to the late Derby-Travers winner...

Things just went up in class! Propro on site for a day of handicapping fun. He had multiple winners as usual...

Nicky Zito may be in the background these days, but he's still kickin' at Saratoga...

Speaking of legends, Hezethebest stopped by for a quick meet-up and handicapping session...

Styling it...

Team Pletcher...

Rushing Fall arrives for The Diana Stakes...

Homerique...

Busy walking ring before the race...

Mott and Lezcano scheming to derail the Chad Brown juggernaut...

This is a serious grass horse, what a turn of foot...

Chad gave four legs-up...

Sunday morning at the Trackside Grille before racing...

Some views from the new 1863 Club...

So long from Saratoga until week two...

Thanks guys. It's hard to take a "bad" picture at Saratoga (except you never see all the ones I delete... ).

Hoop: I believe there was some mention of "a round of golf." He was dressed for it, minus the spikes...
