I was already counting the number of ways I would be collecting on my Grand Slam play (it came to 8 combinations and a $6 ticket for 48 times the $1 payoff) if Gold Sweep romped home at 2-5. On paper he couldn't lose. Then the gate opened, and Gold Sweep, who was going to set the pace, broke in a tangle and by the time he got into gear Yo Yo Candy was gone. No matter how appealing a horse looks on paper, there is always the small matter of having to run around the track in order to collect.
It's going to be an interesting meet.......... or should I say "fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride."?
