I betting based on the evidence in 4.
5 scratches in the 4thI betting based on the evidence in 4.
I missed the race, but love the results. I'm surprised it closed at 6-1.5 scratches in the 4th![]()
how'd ya do on Flyin' Bryan?
dude was midpack in the stretch, with ZERO pace to close in to ... they let the 12 loose in 48.3 - the closing kick, into that sludge, was incredible ... can't believe he took that foto down - 12 was clear by a solid 3 mid stretch.
Missed watching it. Still got my bet in!I missed the race, but love the results. I'm surprised it closed at 6-1.
7/3/5 ... 8 juuuust missed.gonna key 3/7,8,9/7,8,9 tri in the 5th
HELL YES, ROBIN!this 4 horse, Five Alarm Robin, catching my eye now ... broke maiden here at the Spa last year, at this same distance & surface - back class & figs are exemplary amongst this lot.
2 & 4
big on Robin, bigger on Alba
4/9/10 ... gonna be a hell of a payout, but not for me (4th)the Pletcher coupled 1 entry in the next features my boy Arham, with the always interesting Ajaweed as the coupling ... this was a favorite play of mine for the day, but they are getting slammed right now (5/2 ml, currently even money).
gonna key 'em with 4,5,9 - try to catch some bingo in the tri - and i will hit hard in the place pool for the 1 entry.
tailing. thankssitting out the 8th ...
will take half the days winnings and go on Pretty Birdie in the 9th (the Schuylerville).
will also key Birdie with the 2,4,8 for the tri.
tailing. thanks
niceDel Mar opening day tomorrow. Gearing up for 15 of my amigos tearing up where the turf meets the surf for 3 days the 2nd week of August. Such a phenomenal trip
Will be there for races Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Usually drive home (or take the Amtrak surfliner) Sunday am. So think I miss the Yellow Ribbon. Usually play DM online when I get home on Sundaynice![]()
Yellow Ribbon/Best Pal/La Jolla/Graduation are all being run on the 7th & 8th - you there for them, or showing up later?

aIive to the 3,4,6 (<--- Irad/Pletcher)Spa - Race 1
scant field, gonna go with a 1/4 exacta - leaning 1 (coupled, i'm keying on Giralamo's Attack here) as the better play on top - sharp gate break could end this one early.

the turf fractions have been nothing but glacial thus far - dunno wtf is going on with that upstate spinach ... they've been brutal.Can’t let the leaders get away with those fractions
Clemente has been ice cold

no whip rule in full effect at Monmouth this summer ... they saw an exodus of jocks, including the King of Oceanport, Jersey Joe Bravo, himself ... i haven't bothered with the jernt at all, the quality has taken a hit.Any early takes on tomorrow's Haskell? Hot Rod Charlie is the 6-5 morning line chalk.
