Contreras sat a nice trip with the 8, behind the speed, and won it nicely. (Though he was widest, without cover, the entire race.) Da Silva had the length of the stretch to get by Husbands (and my nemesis Day-Phillips) and fell a nose short, costing me the exacta. Way is goes.

They're interviewing the moron Contreras after the race. Clearly, the dude is developmentally challenged and I need to take that into consideration when I critique his rides. I suppose that WO doesn't care about IQ testing any of its 'employees'. Or others taking advantage of the 'handicapped'.

WO R7


:6:, Westshore Road: decent bid last out; blinkers on and extra 1/2 furlong today. Should get it done

:1:, Ekaterini: sprint to route back to sprint -- now or never; conditional win bet @ 20:1

:4:, It's Gail: tiller/contreras 1ster getting money; have to respect, I guess

:10:, Yoshi Mori: won but DQd last out in maiden claimer, with the other Contreras up.

4 got hit and won it @ 8:5; 1 (21:1) and 10 were there till mid stretch and collapsed; 6 didn't fire.

ran 4-5-11-12

WO R8:

hard race as there's no way of knowing how the turf is playing

:7:, Marketing Mix: better than these and supposed to win; but shippers don't do that well @ WO. Should be able to sit a nice stalking trip.

:6:, Inglorious: essentially the same trip that Hungry Island got in the KEE race against the 7. Made a huge P3 score with HH at the end in the 7's last race @ CD. Now, the question is whether Inglorious is good enough to beat the 7, like HH did. I don't think so.

:3:, Indian Pond: like this horse; especially on the turf; Husbands stays on the 5 and Da Silva picks up the mount. Will be forwardly placed but no way of knowing how this course will play.

Ran 7-5-3-6
