11/26: HOL $1MM P6 (5th-10th)
 

Anyone who thought that racing was over for 2006 after the Breeders' Cup three weeks ago, got a surprise Saturday... An AMAZING afternoon of quality events highlighted by superb performances at AQU (Discreet Cat, Boca Grande, Nobiz Like Shobiz) set the tone, with wonderful performances at Churchill, Laurel and Hollywood as well. More on the Holiday Weekend Monday in our Front Page column...

It was a solid day of plays too Saturday, with the LRL Late P4, some superfectas and tris, etc.. Sunday, we've confined our focus on the lucrative Hollywood guaranteed $1,000,000 P6, (there was a $155,000 carryover going in anyway), and the $300,000 guaranteed Late P4...

Hope everyone has had a spectacular Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend!

I hate it when a horse I want to toss anyway scratches!!

Here we go...
 

Looked forward to this all day.. A perfect late aft/early evening 'segway' till the Eagles game tonight... 30 MTP Race 5... Anybody with thoughts, speak up.. Going to play these singley and the "4" rather than the "6"..

Tough Game for the Eagles tonight , Good Luck !!!

The first leg here is very tough, full field of 2 yo Maiden Claimers on the cushion track. I would lean to the

#2 Itsatopperstopper, race over the surface and hung on well at 6.5 F.

#12 Belnap drops into the claiming ranks and figures on that.

#8 Bradley's Way has a nice work tab , but is out of Madraar who's FTS perform very poorly.

Here's a pick 6 , just for fun

5th 2,8,12
6th 6,10
7th 7,11,12,15
8th 6,9
9th 4,9
10th 3

3 x 2 x 4 x 2 x 2 x 1 .... $192 ticket :p

Nice value on the 9 here.. Stern Wheeler..

Note to all.. PVal kick by his mount and a hurting unit.. Off this mount at least...

My avatar speaks volumes about my choice. Depends on which Colts team shows up tonight.

Crazy 1-2 on Showing Up... Yeah he looks tough here, but 1-2? Cross country trip, etc.. Different kind of turf, etc..

CRESTED and ZANN insane overlays at 23-1 and 35-1 each..

Brother Derek's absence
 

B-H reporting that BroDerek scratched because of a colic episode...

7th.. keying 15 with 1-6-8-9-11.. Ex/Tri..

Ka-Ching! Tri $208.. Ex $22.. (Both $1 payoffs).. The "8" compliments of Pais!!

Hope some of you jumped on this...

Very nice ! The #8 added some nice value into that race !

Good job BYK.I am on Attima here.Just like Julio with a fresh miler.Tough class jump though.

7-1 on Pommes Frites = FREE MONEY

Thx S.. Square price on Attima at 11-1.. Didn't use but like.. Good luck..

Ouch. . . I thought she had it

The ground loss hurt.. wide into turn, 2-3 wide down the backstretch.. Game effort though..

That hurts. Singled her in the P4.. Used her and Pletcher in the P6 Selections Play.. Just didn't care for the Frankel pair...

When they hit the flowers I thought you were going to hold on, Steve. Getting caught like that is a bitter pill.
