Default Interesting situation:GP R3

Diane Alvarado claimed Beckham Bend, for Jacobson, from Clement on 2/15 for $35K, then ran him back for a nice 2nd in an allowance race 3/06.

Tomorrow, she runs back the runaway Vindicat, who she took out of a maiden claimer, again for Jacobson, on 3/04 from Nick Zito and LaPenta. And, Zito and LaPenta have a runaway winner of their own, last out, in the race. I wonder if Zito and gang are sweating at all. I mean, they must be confident that Just a Coincidence is better than Vindicat.

I wouldn't point this out, except that Alvarado seems to be OK and Vindicat wiped out the field last out.

Oh, and there are some others in there as well. Shug, in particular, is hoping for a pace collapse.

Default 2 4 6

I don't like Just A Coincidence at all. I think he finishes out of the exacta.

Vindicat looks too cheap on paper and he wants an easy lead. Could be a good price to include, thanks for the tip on Alvarado.

I like B Z Warrior, and I think either the 4 or 6 could be there as well.

Nice work.

I dont think I have ever seen someone not like a horse who wins the race, and then have their pick run dead last. Maybe the tracks can start a bet like this and pay out 1000-1 regardless of odds. Could call it Moronacta....or maybe Stupidfecta.

Sorry you bet against me. But you and Beyer Minus Eight were crazy to fade me when it comes to this kind of nonsense.
