3/2: AQU $65k C/O (Pants tabs $2,200 P4!!)
 

Took as agonizing a beat as can recently be recalled Saturday as head bob loss in the SA 4th (Leg C) cost the Magna 5 and likely a $15,000+ hit. $60 winner from Gulfstream 7th (Leg B) had assured a big M5 payout, but in a matchup of sons of training legends, Dollase's Super Strut fell short at the wire to Mandella's Chancellor. Wager paid $35,000 to 12 punters..

Leg A: Gattopardo ($5.20), Laurel Park 9th
Leg B: Highly Honored ($61.20), Gulfstream Park 7th
Leg C: Chancellor ($25.60), Santa Anita Park 4th
Leg D: Nistle’s Crunch ($8.00), Gulfstream Park 8th
Leg E: Roar of Eagles ($4.40), Santa Anita Park 5th

Carryover of $65,200 at the Big A Sunday..

Scratched..

Am I out of my mind for liking Just le Facts in the nightcap? I'm thinking he ran back and pressed the pass going long and cuts back and drops down? Other than the breakdown what am I missing?

Problem is, how does he keep up with a :23+.. :46+.. :58+.. etc.? He couldn't do it when he was right last summer.

Good point. I guess your right. 24, 48 3/5 & 1:15s not going to get it done.

Steve - Nice call to kick off the pick6!

That race was a good example of what can happen if you watch races carefully and play against horses that were trip/bias aided....and on ones severly hindered by trips.

Now, Maragh obviously butchered the favorite, but thats what happens when you never get out of the gate cleanly, you often end up behind the eight ball, especially with outside posts on the inner track.

For anybody that is seriously confused as to why I think Marawful is, just that, awful, watch the replay, with head on, of the 4th race. It encapsulates everything that is bad about race riding.

:) thx Pat..

Pick 4

What's up, bbb? Suck on that.

$2 Pick 4 (9/8/1/1) Paid $2,252.00 (4OF4)

Congrats Pants... Tremendous score.. Well played/Well earned!

The last winner was much bigger than 12:1 in the Pick-4 because of the late scratch in the finale.
