Delaware: 6/20/06 (r5-9, P4)
We're back to DelPark for "First State Tuesday" and hopefully a reprise of last week's good showing there. The weekend was a mixed bag as Saturday's stakes feast opened and closed well with mediocre results in the middle.
In the Susan's Girl at DEL, we were able to land the $200 tri with the box, and then waited nearly three hours before another score of consequence, all the Mint Julep exotics including the Super.
Despite the small return, the most satisfying result of the weekend was undoubtedly Happy Ticket's Fleur de Lis Triumph. Julian Leparoux WAS the difference on the Cajun Cutie. We again laud Andy Leggio's decision to replace her former jock that had basically been responsible for getting the Bayou Princess beat by noses in her prior two stakes starts. Now 16/12-3-0, Happy Ticket is simply the best story in racing and continues to go under-reported and under-appreciated.
Hope you enjoyed the weekend and did well, though it seems that Ron Moquet and Seek Gold managed to ruin a lot of people's wagering strategies with their Foster shocker...
