But not today. You might have noticed that the dateline didn’t not include the year. That’s because on this day 10 years ago, everyone’s world changed forever. And not for the better. Today was, and still remains, a happy day for our family. Nana, my wife’s mom, is celebrating her 96th birthday today.

According to the race results tabulated by my handicapping partner, Mark Cusano, Team Cugini finished in a dead heat for fifth of 25 published handicappers at the recently concluded Saratoga race meet.

                        <![CDATA[SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, September 7, 2011&#45;&#45;I always feel badly when friendship makes me guilty about voting my conscience. And, unfortunately, when those are friendships are ones made at the racetrack, honesty can sometimes be misinterpreted as disloyalty. In 1996, I took a buy&#45;out offered by Newsday and went to Gulfstream Park that winter looking for work. During my stay, I became close to a trainer whom I had interviewed many times, one I’ve known since he was a groom. We broke &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/Saratoga-Diary'>Voting Your Conscience Can Get Complicated</a>]]>

Just like that. I understand how the time&#45;flies phenomenon intensifies with advancing age, but the notion the next race from New York anyone will see will be happening at Belmont Park on Long Island. So, before HRI jumps on the Road to the Breeders’ Cup, here are a few indelible &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/Saratoga-Diary'>Saratoga 142: HRI Awards of Special Recognition</a>]]>

But maybe, in the final analysis, she’s an inch behind Blind Luck. And just how many inches is Harve De Grace behind Tizway, the Met Mile and Whitney winner? Several, many?

With the exception of early domination by Team Todd, equipped with his gang of two&#45;year&#45;olds and Mike Repole leading&#45;owner dropdowns, early results were a bit monotonous. Then the wealth began to be distributed a little more evenly. Chad Brown emerged as a force, and there were a number of &#8230;<br/><br/><a href='http://www.horseraceinsider.com/Saratoga-Diary'>&#8220;Settling&#8221; for Three Grade 1s</a>]]>
