A beautiful 75 degree day without humidity, the park was packed with eager patrons, a weather forecast of merely a slight chance of scattered showers. It happened out of the blue the skies darkened, the wind picked up, all the phones started going off with weather app alerts, a tornado warning for the Saratoga area. The horses for the 5th race went back to the paddock, the picnic table and lawn chair crowd started to run for cover.

After reading my own weather alert I noticed I had received a text message from Richiebee. It was obvious the weather Gods and guardian angels of Saratoga had reacted to the news. Richie had just sent me a message saying instead of coming up over 2 weekends he had found a reasonable room downtown within walking distance of the bars and would be here from July 31- August 8 straight through.

The Gods calmed, adjusted to the news it sprinkled a little and the horses came out to the run the 5th race with a 55/1 shot going wire to wire!
