Good Measure got up thanks too a great ride by Johnny V. Celestial City ran well but gave in to Wit to give up 2nd place, finishing 3rd.
After Day 17
Total wagered: $136.00
Total returned: $108.90
Best bet: Race 8 - #5 Fluid Situation 8/1 ML, Terranova/Castellano. This one was working well enough to be thrown into the Dwyer last time out…where he just had no shot of ever beating Charge It. He’ll appreciate the cutback in distance as well as the drop in class…and he might even find himself alone on the lead without a horse like Charge It there to press and swallow him up.
Best value: Race 4 - #4 Founder 8/1 ML, Mott/Rosario. I’m not quite sure what to make of the barn switch but this horse hasn’t run since October. Last year’s races would have made him competitive here. One of my favorite angles is to bet a 3YO or 4YO in their first start of the year, banking on improvement from the prior year. The price has to be right but 8/1 here is good enough for me.
