Things I’ll Miss
With Travers weekend upon us it won’t be long before Saratoga will come to a close. Aside from the usual stuff like fuller fields, more challenging handicapping and more “big day” cards, this year presented a new thing to miss when it’s gone.
Behold, the Dan Illman Spa Baby Face…

Thank you Twitter and Daily Racing Form for giving me a regular chuckle throughout the meet (in addition to useful information about juveniles at the Spa). Perhaps someone who’s more clever and/or universally liked on racing Twitter can turn this into a meme?
Important note: I’m a fan of Illman so this should in no way be taken as a diss.
