I stopped after the last to look back at the beautiful, empty #Saratoga grandstand... and was instead unbelievably touched to catch this. @iradortiz , leading rider, getting one of those hugs you could live in forever from Pito Rosa, who was instrumental in starting his NY career.

I'm guessing there will be no shortage of ways to donate to #NotreDame in the coming days. If you have some extra $, maybe consider also donating to the three 100+year-old historically black churches that were victims of arson in the past 3 weeks:
