Ok....I like all the races you skipped. Did you know, that of the nine dirt races on the card, the biggest priced winner paid $8.20...and Street Sense was not only one of three horses to win while racing inside...but he was also won of three horses to win..who wasn't the post time favorite.

Race #1- 6/5 favorite breaking from post #1 wins. 3/1 2nd choice breaking from posts #3 makes the lead and finishes 2nd.

Race #2- 9/5 shot winner broke from post #1 and raced on the rail throughout.

Race #3- 6/5 favorite wins easily after making a sweeping 3-wide move. So far, three races...three favorites.

Race #4- 8/5 favorite gets loose on the lead, and goes wire-to-wire winning by 12+ lengths. 4 races 4 winning favorites.

Race #5- TURF

Race #6- 4/5 favorite wins with sweeping three wide turn move. 5 dirt races, 5 winning favorites....a few near the inside a few wide.

Race #7- 3/1 shot goes wire-to-wire. First non-favorite to win all day pays a whopping $8.20

Race #8- 3/1 winner (pays $8.00) breaking from post 2, splits horses, and wins with closing tactics.

Race #9- Turf

Race #10- Even money favorite wins with stalking tactics. 3-to-4 wide.

Race #11- Turf

Race #12- Tampa Derby, 6/5 shot Street Sense, one of the few post time favorites who doesn't win all day, wins saving ground all the way. He wins off the layoff, over the very demanding tampa surface...AGS had a prep over it, which is why he was 3/5.

Race #13- Turf

You had nine races....and the biggest winner all day long paid $8.20! Horses won from the inside, the outside, they won stalking, closing, a couple went wire-to-wire.

Was there a HUGE HUGE HUGE bias....or was it just a case of the best horses winning?
