Blue sky and sunshine today for the first time in about 2 weeks. The racing Gods must be looking down at opening day. The place will be a zoo today with free admission for those that are fully vaxxed. I'm going over for a couple of races just to check things out but not staying very long. I had surgery on my foot/ankle and I'm still on crutches so getting around isn't easy.
I say this every year don't bet the first week but I never listen to what I preach so I'm sure I'll find something to throw my money on. Another thing is only win bets but I do throw in a few triples now and then. Let's see how disciplined I am this year it's a long 6 weeks.
There were no fans in the stands last year so I'm sure record crowds will be here this year. They do limit the amount of people to 50,000 in a track that holds about 30,000. I can see Covid numbers spiking in about 2 weeks with all the out of town people here that will be elbow to elbow.
I'm not planning on spending as much time there this year because of the crowds and covid. I will frequent the backstretch more. I don't get as much info as in year's past because the people have passed on. I have met a lot of trainers and jockeys over the years but times have changed.
If I do get something good I'll pass it on as usual. I'll be back later because there's a filly in the feature that I want to check out but she'll be a short price. If I only make one bet today I'll be starting out right.
GL all!
