4/9: Keeneland (7th-10th; Maker's Mark-Blue Grass Double)
 

Left short-priced "Next Best" 3rd choice Malibu Artiste off the P6 tick Wednesday which ended up being the difference between $1,111 hit and minor award consos. $110 mutuel on successful P4 play helped defray expenses a tad combining with the $50 in consos for $161 in against the $264quad and sextet plunge. Hope you did OK!

Maker's Mark Day at Keeneland and don't forget the two day Double bet that is available with the Blue Grass...

Note to anyone playing AQU today that the 4th and 9th are off the turf but the 7th is on. The main track is good and the turf is good.

I obviously looked at the 8th race and I quite surprised that you picked Capt Obvious on top. His two polytrack starts were his worst, figure wise.

He has an excuse in his Oct 29th start where he stumbled really bad but his maiden start he didn't run a lick only to improve alot when he reached dirt at Churchill.

Just curious of the process with this one in case I missed something....

According to the website he is going to scratch.

That would be GREAT. I was worried about him coming out of those 5f races pressing Klink. He is a little hard headed :)

-bt-

good hit steve good luck this weekend

Great job Steve, had it with you. Thanks

way to go Steve! Yet another handsome score!

Great Job Steve!

Does anyone know hte P4 late scratch rule at Oaklawn... Do I get the Post Time Favorite... It should be mandatory that they announce the rule after a scratch.

Doesn't matter

Steve, Nice work

BT, BA, Barry, Frank, Gus, Matt, Gus...

Thanks a lot! That was nice. I'm tickled because I thought it was a very challenging sequence and went in doubting success. When the first winner got home I was encouraged, but when Commandeered paid $15 I got enthused...

Let's all parlay it into a great weekend!
