3/25: Fair Grounds (2nd-12th)
 

Made the one play of the day count Thursday as Robbie's War came through for $17.00 win tote in a thrilling Santa Anita 5th. The Jim Cassidy trainee won a photograph from 40-1 Lemou who ran every bit as as well as the victorious War Chant gelding. The exotics were bountiful, with a $213 exacta, $1,075 tri and $6,447 super (All $1). Glad Rich Eng and I had a chance to discuss therace, and I hope some had an opportunity to take advantage. Closing weekend at Fair Grounds, and things kick off with a nice Friday card spiked with Bayou-bred stakes.

Thanks!

Great job on the P4 and nailing the Caps pick again!!

Congrats and thanks as always, and good luck this weekend.

Thanks guys. She jumped off the page for me. Hope everybody did OK. Big day ahead tomorrow!

Doing it now but am first to admit I may not be the ideal window into that world. There's a horse or two that feels right to me looking at the races, but I never really know with confidence what to expect from many of the entrants on this card annually.

I will say that the more I looked at the feature, the more Musir stood out to me.
