UIC at Saratoga- Travers Day 2019

[tenfurlongs]

7:30am Travers morning...

Sam the Bugler is ready to blow...

Breakfast is served...

TenFurlongs and BestBet...

Da blanket...

If somehow you missed it, Run Happy (standing at Claiborne) is sponsoring the Travers...

The look of love (ABC?)...

So CherokeeScot turned up bright and early...

Trainer Mark Hennig (look at Sunday's entries!) was enjoying the backyard scene with us...

If I never take another racetrack photo, I'll be satisfied that I got this one. Bev and The Mig...

I asked him who he liked. He said, "Shag Shag Shag"...

Bev was on a tear today...

Who wore it better?...

Back over to the blanket crew...

Bev and Hooper shared Larry's Picks...

At the Big Red Spring after the 3rd race...

l. to r., BestBet, turbine, QuickCall, DoctorDisaster, CherokeeScot, gam, Hooper, 10F, Hezethebest, soundsofsaratoga, Jacckk8...(photo by MadameBlum Studios)

Enabled cufflinks...

Maggie in shock and awe...

Mitole in the paddock for the Forego S. (GI)...

Tammy Fox keeps an eye on Promises Fulfilled...

Killybegs Captain saddled for John Terranova...

Steve Asmsussen and Ricky Santana looked confident...

Also, the paddock was filled with splendiferous onlookers...

#1- Shancelot in front twenty yards from the finish of the H. Allen Jerkens S. (GI), got passed by #6- Mind Control (10-1) and #9- Hog Creek Hustle (10-1), amazing late run from the #9 for second...

Great pics as usual, Tom and it was great seeing everyone today. I must say though as resplendent as Bev looked in his skirt today, the last thing he needs is practice tearing anything up as I've seen his recent selections in the UIC contest!

Beautiful just beautiful...looks like a great time.

The article didn’t say who the “youngest and fittest” was.  Looks to me like the group was more Fuzzy Thurston and Jerry Kramer than Paul Hornung or Boyd Dowler. 😅

Tom, are you sure about the Mike Myers character? Maybe he had a bit of an accent (like several fine members on here) and he actually was saying "Shug...Shug...Shug"? LOL!
