Honorable mention to Brice B. on a closer in a turf route in So Cal.

Funny stuff. Chavez blows. First race, last race, every race in between. There's a reason he doesn't get live horses anymore.

We've had a few vet bills in the last several weeks for our 13 year old Australian Shepherd. She's fine now. I keep telling her she's lucky I had a very good summer of gambling....
I'm a big fan of seeing horses in the paddock and in the post parade before making wagers.
In recent years I've also started to factor in rider and trainer demeanors. For right or wrong.
The first day I watched Michael Martinez at the track live, I looked for ways to include him in my bets.

It takes real prowess to turn a mention of a jockey in critical condition into yet another colossal redboard.
