Yesterday's sequence featured some solid handicapping with our top selections winning twice and placing twice, but the prize slipped away with some poor decision making. Congrats to the sole winner who knocked down 75 percent of the $5200 pool.

Race 6 saw us go four deep and advance when Tommy's Turn ran to his last at $3.80 although no faster coming in, but cappers like consistency and this gelding now nine for nine on the board. As expected Dawasmi set the pace and had to be played, but neither of the two veterans we played fired. One coming off a vet scratch and the other (Red Soldier) claimed by a former trainer inspite of five 2006 races and five 2006 vet scratches!

Race 7 is where we crashed and burned but it was an enigmatic set of circumstances that led to our demise. Andrew Ney entered a clients horse (Raging Red) out of class, but ran his own horse Drew Lil Slew in the following race, in a spot where Raging Red would fit better! We became confused, dropped the ball and missed a $50 horse. Trainer intent indeed!

Race 8 Inexplicably, Drew Lil Slew went favored inspite of many, many negatives. Our single Cerulean Sky, as expected, grabbed the track but was nailed late by Leggio/Warren 5yo who was coming off a Beyer (85) that was fifteen lengths better than anyone had ever run, yet paid some $8. Poor ticket construction here as this was always a two horse race.

Race 9 Lori's Limerick was made 7-1 in her debut without any stable money and was given less than energetic ride. Boy back up, turf pedigree, nothing to beat, then bet down, then won off. Was never going to have this on a small ticket and no real pot of gold with the small pool. On to Lexington and three pick 4 pots every day. Good Capping. BBB
