In another one of our ingenius marketing strategies, Mary Ryan gives away a Saratoga Special as the answer to a trivia question at the morning workouts. Today's question, name a Thoroughbred. Well, we didn't want to stump anybody.

Here's a smattering of names we heard today.

Man o'War
Kelso
Holy Bull
Buckpasser
Cashier's Dream
Favorite Trick
Native Dancer
Affirmed
Alydar
Critical Eye
Fourstardave
Seattle Slew
Thunder Gulch
Behrens
Damascus
Jiva Coolit (from Penn National)
Nashua

Tomorrow's question, name a day of the week.

Name of the Day
Distinction (sixth race). $4.2 million purchase, name fits the bill.

"You need a new muffler."
Kip Elser to a Saratoga Special delivery boy

This Means You
Let us try to explain this again. The Saratoga Special costs one dollar. If you're cagey, you can probably read it for free everyday but that isn't the spirit. We're trying to make a go of this venture, for a buck a day you can help us be back next year. If you have a valid reason for why you should read it for free, we're open but it better be good. The way we're going, we'd charge Mom at this point. Thanks.
