We Shall Take Ice to the Beach!

July 23, 2015

Dear Partners and Friends,

Easily one of the toughest race decisions in a long time. 

Many of you know the arguments:

A prep race over the Saratoga surface has often been good for Travers contestants. The Saratoga track is not as speed biased. And those are strong arguments to be sure.

At the end of the day going to the Haskell, where we will likely be second or third choice, was more attractive than going to the Jim Dandy where we would not have been.

Having another shot at American Pharoah will be fun and second place money is $200,000, which is worth shooting for.

Kent Desormeaux will ride. Ice is a tough horse to manage and Kent's experience is an asset. 

I suspect both fields would be seven horses (or at least would be if we ran there).

Tickets for the Haskell are the tightest they have ever been. We are limited in what we can do but we will do our best. I know we have 25 tickets and we will try to get more, but we need to hear from you immediately! If we don't have enough tickets we will allocate evenly to partners based on percentage.

Email us today if at all possible and tomorrow a.m. at the latest if your desire tickets. You are on your own for hotel rooms.

As always, let us know if you have questions.

Jerry
