UIC at Saratoga in photos- Wed., Aug. 4th

[tenfurlongs]

Watching the works upstairs in the clubhouse this morning, sitting next to “Big A” Anthony Stabile, who is hosting the breakfast show this year. Nice cool morning. Fast and firm later. Mark Casse, currently on the duck 🦆 , comes by to go upstairs to the viewing platform. “Maybe I should try bowling…😀” , to no one in particular. Funny guy.

Another calamitous ending to the hurdle race. #1 looks all over the winner then has to pull up to avoid hitting the cone just like last week 🤬

Rudy Rodriguez is a busy guy. Riding horses, watching horses, clocking horses, claiming horses, playing Craps at the Casino with his guys on dark nights...




Press box (top, left) is one of only four rooms on track that enjoy air conditioning...




Nice blinkers...




Irad takes the fifth, aboard Sport Model (Freud) for Christophe Clement/Reeves Thoroughbred Racing...




Warning: If you ever see this man (trainer Charlton Baker) wearing a suit jacket in the walking ring, run to the windows...




Madameblum, with her male escort (needs sit-ups/crunches)...




Maggie (apologies to Rod Stewart)...

Thanks for the great photos Tom.  As for Madameblum's male escort needing sit-ups or crunches, I'll bet that a steady regimen of running to the windows [with winning tickets of course] would do the job nicely.
