I'm looking forward to coming back up there next week for the 'Dining with the Dynasty' fundraiser (on August 20), but first I'm looking forward to this weekend at Saratoga." —Romero on returning to Arlington Park, where he won two riding titles and scored the 4,000th win of his career in 1997 "Timing is everything.
