Saratoga Race Course Sunday, August 11, 2013 Total for the meet... $791.35

Yesterday...

First Sheppard runner, 5-1 Neat Package in R4, got it done and essentially gave us some free swings later in the card - and if Sheppard #2, 9-1 Hedonemewrongsong in R9, had followed suit with a win the day would have been ding-dong! Still - an OK little profit on the afternoon.
