All rested up and ready after an amazingly fun weekend last week, highlighted by V-E Day in the Travers and Shared Belief in the Pacific Classic. And don’t forget The Big Beast — excited to watch him develop. I also wrote a an article on alternative late-season options for 3-year-olds, which appeared on Thoroughbred Racing Commentary. The Super Derby is next week and the highly-anticipated Pennsylvania Derby, with California Chrome, is September 20. As Saratoga ends Monday and Del Mar ends Wednesday, let’s send the summer out right!

Coming up on All Day Racing:

• Billy Blake’s Saratoga Saturday Late Pick 4.  Special thanks to Billy for his analysis throughout the entire Saratoga meet!
• Jason Landman vs. Del Mar’s Labor Day Weekend:  Three days of racing equals lots of good opportunities. How will Jason attack the card to maximize potential value?
• I’ll write about the Hopeful and the Saranac for Monday’s Saratoga card.
• And, of course, the upcoming debut of All Day Racing Premium!
