Doesn't it always suck more when you call it in advance?

Did that last weekend with the stakes race at Hawthorne that killed what turned out to be a big pick-4.

Not much to this rehash as the sequence was very vanilla with about a hundred winning tickets sold. The plan was solid; single the standout Ada's Dream and build around her, a strategy that has served us well, but price horses were nowhere to be found! Sparkling Jack our "A" horse @ 30-1 in leg one did run a new top but was no match for the winner who also improved about ten lengths. Horses that move from Guillot's barn to another are always good plays.

Ada' romped, then Gaff gamely delivered @16.20 and the last leg was logical. Our other "A" Jr Girl ranged up and looked like a winner three eighths out, but ran out of conditioning soon thereafter. Odd that the bug was not favored in the last! Our other play was bet way way down and showed little.

Even with a bad track playing @FG today as the late four has some false favorites and I always take a vacation this time of year. No not to a sunny warm destination, we always go to International Falls Mn.!! Thanks to Hoss and Hooves for their kind words and happy holidays to all. Good cappin. BBB

If you ever want to get rich at the track listen to my last minute, "now this horse will win"......
