That is a very interesting race card we have to contend with on Saturday. I would almost be so bold to say it is two race cards, since the first 4 races are so different from the rest of the card. I found the stakes races to be challenging to handicap but not impossible. You could identify realistic contenders, consider several throwouts and get a reasonable sense of the likely race flow. The first four races, however, were a complete mystery to me. My best chance of success in them is to break out a dart board. It was obvious that the morning linemaker was also having difficulty with that part of the card. In race 4 for example the linemaker made the favorite 7-2 in a field of 9 and then made the longest price in the field 8-1. I sincerely doubt that the actual betting will reflect that. But I'm out at sea as to how to play the race.

Hope that all of you do not have as much trouble with this part of the card.
