CD R10:

alive in doubles to the 4,5,9 and I'm just going to ride these out.

[VDG]

FINALLY. I get out.

Last minute played exactas 4 over 3 and 5. So, while I got less for the double with the 4 winning; at least I made up for it with a decent exacta. Tough day but I got my money back and some more. Which sort of puts my screw up in the 5th @ BEL in perspective: if I spread and hit the tri, it's a very good day.

WO R1-2

double 1/6 with 2/7

WO R2:

I'm alive in doubles to the 2 and 7, so it's not a good idea for me to start playing around. Moreover, Lisa Lewis' horse hasn't run since SAR, and she's facing a bunch of Canadian breds; and there are TWO 1st time starters in the race. I'd be well served in just sitting chilly.

But I think the might be a good bet here. Chased and tired going 5F 1st out; then set the pace until early stretch going 6F last out, when she was bothered inside (while tiring) and the jock basically stopped trying with her. Gets blinkers on today and cuts back to 5F in a race that's loaded with speed. Will bet to win @ >= 8:1. Exotics 6 / 1,2,7

[VDG]

Hit the double but the 6 couldn't get 2nd so I made very little in the race.

WO R3:

tough race in what's, arguably, the toughest turf course around to beat: unlike other courses, I never seem to be able to guess when it's favoring speed and when closers are at an advantage. Anyway

, Congor Bay: has a huge turf race over the course last year. Got a fairly nice setup but he put in a huge run. Will definitely get a piece, though he needs some action up front. Making 1st start this year.

, Forbidden Bear: decent turf sprinter; will definitely get a piece, as well.

, Citius: some nice turf sprints; 1st start this year. Hate the jock but this is the one I like. Too low for a win bet. Exotics with 1 and 7.

will also use the 5 under in exotics as that trainer has a BIG ass.

ran 6-5-4-7

Mr. Rod, Michelle Rainford up, running for $9500, beats them IN HAND. Sure he figured: If I went back to his 2009/2010 form.

It's ironic: I crush the turf everywhere else but struggle with it @ WO.

P.S. SPEED is still holding: they went 2-1 around the track.
