12/15: CRC-FG P4's; HOL Starlet
 

Terrific afternoon of racing on tap around the country with Calder's Grand Slam II stakes, a contentious and value-laden P4 opp at NOLA and by far the day's best race: the unbelievably good edition of the Gr. I Hollywood Starlet.

^$&#*** Arghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"... Stunning.

Take a look at Steve Crist's blog for the McKnight.

"If you're hunting for bombs underneath, Kiss the Kid could take them a long way on the lead in the absence of other early speed, and Presious Passion got questionable rides in his last two."

Did he have to wait until 12:30 to write that? I had actually read the Blog earlier in the morning... But hadn't gone back. Savvy call.

Haven't seen the race. Was live to the 7 and 11. Did the 8 at least win easy (at 65ish-1)? Aaagghhh :(

Was alive to 6,11,1

Steve - Nice job with the exacta in the Starlet.

Thx Pat.. For Steve Klesaris to go out there with that filly you had to feel that she would perform well. Other than (perhaps) being overly patient trying to stretch horses out, he's very sharp placing his stock. I was disappointed with Grace Anatomy. Happy for Jack Van Berg getting the Gr. I placement for Golden Noodle. This Country Star looks as special as Frankel hinted earlier this fall.
