David Cassidy on the Web

One of the great things about Saratoga is you really never know who you will run into.
Like today, when David Cassidy stopped by and said hello. No really, he did.
As you know, today was the 4th Running of the Troy Stakes Race, and it was quite a day.
Perhaps the most common thread everyone can share when at the track is that when the temperatures hover in the low 80's with a strong breeze and no clouds can be seen, winning takes a backseat to just enjoying the day.
Believe it or not, it is frustrating to have days like this when you are Mayor. You want to have fun and relax, but at the same time, there is a lot of work to be done, and missing one day of work always sets you back. That said, one of my most important job duties is to be the ambassador for the City, and it is always great hearing from people about how they like what is happening in Troy.
The race was just as exciting as in previous years. The heavy favorite held the early lead, but by the end of the 5 and 1/2 furlongs, a horse named TD Vance had out dueled the others for top prize. Garrett Gomez, who I found out today goes by the nickname Go-Go, rode the horse to victory.
There was even a bit of controversy, as the number three horse, was disqualified after bumping what appeared to be a few horses down the stretch.
