3/11: Aqueduct/Gulfstream (Late P4's)
 

Race week kicks off with excellent ALW features in the late P4's at both Aqueduct and Gulfstream Wednesday. Thursday, Oaklawn and Santa Anita's featured events include Proud Spell's 4 year old debut at Hot Springs, while Mast Track, Monterey Jazz and more face off in a $63k stakes quality ALW.

Saturday of course, the Derby Trail and spring racing kicks into third gear with a head-spinning Louisiana Derby Day card, the Rebel, Tampa Bay Derby and San Felipe... A lot to look forward to, but to start, a pair of tricky Quads at Ozone Park and Hallandale.

what was that move on the backside ramon?

I don't think it was his fault. He was on a scared horse that got bullied by the 9 the whole trip.

I'm liking the 9-1 on Leadwithyourchin in the 7th. Hoping he doesn't get too far behind early. 10 win 15 place tri key 4/3-8-10-12

What a f'in joke that was. (R8)

SA 3
Blasterman
$50 win

Can anyone explain how Hard Top didn't get claimed in the seventh?

Oh well wasn't going to win regardless of Gryder's boneheaded move to rate a speed horse. That's why you hardly ever win races, Gryder.

I, too, was shocked there wasnt a claim. Maybe it was the HUGE drop that red-flagged potential suitors. Seems like this level, or maybe one or two rungs up the ladder is where he belongs.

Piss-poor ticket structuring continues to haunt me...UGGHHHH...
