We’re back on our normal schedule this week after 12 consecutive issues, but we’re not giving our handicapping team from The Saratoga Special a break just yet.
Gaile Gitzgerald and John Shapazian, one-two in last year’s Power Grid battle, are at it again and come into Monday’s 10-race card tied with 61 wins apiece, one ahead of first-time Special handicapper Tom Law at 60. Charles Bedard is next with 54 and Chad Summers trails with 40.
