5 / 2,8,9

ran 2-9-1-5

Hell of a training job by Attfield: the 9 hadn't race in over a year and just got nailed after setting all the fractions.

Next time I read about how Napravnik is a fine jock, I'll wonder why she went 22.80 opening quarter going 1 3/8 miles on that horse. I mean, did she need to be ahead by that much early; she was loose no matter how slow she ran?

WO R8.

Tough race. The problem is that the 5 looks very strong here but I have no confidence at all in Baker, as Hunters Bay probably will be with the pace going 8.5F. Not betting much at all this race.

:5: / :1:, :7:, :8:

WOW. Who'd have thunk it: not only does Baker actually have this one ready, but Emma DOES NOT get involved in the duel, being content to sit behind the top three. 5 wins for fun (relatively). Figure exacta comes in, paying ok.

:12:, Ampersand: conditional win bet @ 4:1.

Not enough time for exotics

I bet to win and got 4:1 and a very nice ride by Nakatani. But I had a couple more minutes and took the 12 OVER the 3, 5,8 in exactas and tris. So, this was a nice result for me (with very little effort). This was Race 9, clearly, given the horse's name.

4 wins it @ 24:1, dueling the 5 into submission early and then gamely holding on.
