Default Nice day of racing today
CD has the Foster Card with lots of stakes. Belmont has two stakes and a nice card. Colonial has a nice card. Nice stakes race at Delaware.
I dunno how the negative guys are gonna find anything wrong with racing today. Hope everyone enjoys it.

I dunno Tim, I realy hate these grass sprints. I have paid close attention to them and they seem to produce one of two outcomes 90% of the time. Either the favorite wins like yesterday's 4th race, or a horse like Keen Spirit wins who I wouldn't play in a million years. Neither outcome suits my style. I like beating favorites, and I don't play too many hopeless horses. I really like catching horses in between. I just don't like them.

Second in Command could be tough as well. This is the horse that set and beat his own 6F turf record last summer at Saratoga. If the pace collapses, this one will come running hard.

Summer Service has had some brutal trips and I dunno why they just dont send this horse like they use to when he won so many races on the lead. This come from behind style is resulting in near miss teases and frankly my blood pressure cant take another one of these.

Mike, what's your NTRA pick#4 play's today? Lots of good races today, but
I have to open my pool. The wife has been after me to do it and were looking at 90 tomorrow. Look's like "phone-a-bet" today! Good Luck

Graded stakes race at Arlington today too.

I like the 4, 6, and 9 horses in that one.

GANDER,I played that f'n Summer Service the 3 prior starts before that last one.Looked like he had lost a cylinder.So,now that is 4 times it has taken money,and not gotten it done.Maybe it is cycling back into top form,but I ain't betting him anymore.
