I was on track on Feb. 17, Superfly did not look good. He did not get beat by any worldbeaters. The third place horse in his last race, Fiddler, won a 16k N3L on Sat. and the winner, Batesee, just finished 10th of 11 horses for a open 16k tag on Sunday. The final straw, Lezcano jumped ship to the 2 horse.

About the only positive I see is that he isn't in for a tag. That said, I'll pass at a short price.

I've been debating todays PK for about 2 hours now, and i can't trim my ticket any more. There are a lot of live horses on todays card, here's what i came up with

1 5(2nd) 10 11(3rd) : #3 is gonna get some company up front today, hopefully all the speed falters b/c i have chosen nothing but closers. #5 Secret Lies i think it a live longshot, second time at 25K tag and switches from Amiss to Gonzalez. In her last 3 races everyone has walked on the front end, hopefully she get's some pace to run into

3 (4th) 6 (2nd) 8 (3rd) : something about Ness's horse rubs me the wrong way (#3), claimed at 8K and flopped coming from the Calabrese barn, now Ness drops him back down to 6K claimers. Wish i could have gone 2 deep here but Ness has thrown me for a loop

1 (won) 2 7 (3rd) : i finally gave into the notion that i can't use Superfly, probably be the death of me (if i can get this far)

2(2nd) 4(won) 5 (4th)

PK4
15 10 11
368
127
245 = $108


*Si Si Mon Amie is going into the stable mail, don't think she cared for the distance and still only got nipped at the wire


$34K for the PK; so close yet sooooo far away
gl all

Wow, that sucked. The 3 threw out the anchor on the backstretch and handed the race to the 7 on a silver platter.

I think the 7 earned it... sub 24 quarters all, think you.

well she won, there's no debating that. But she earned it?

once the #9 YO #3 horse threw it in reverse she was never challenged, closers couldn't/wouldn't close, that race had more speed than that it's just a shame nobody pressed this horse

Yes the 7 won, but both -BT- and I were looking at a speed duel and put closers on the ticket (I added the 3 after the scratch). The 3 didn't even put up a fight 3/8ths of a mile.

For the record the 7 ran: 23.30, 24.49, 24.96, 25.40, 6.43

Note: My three horses finished 8th, 9th and DNF. Nice.

The P4 will pays are monsterous with three $20 horses. Paid $34,140 for $1

should have seen that coming a mile away, the horse that's been layed up since August keeps going on the front end, awsome. Meanwhile that POS Ferrer doesn't run a lick with the #10, Centeno breaks down with the #1 and my live 17-1 longshot can't reach the leader and runs 2nd....... sour taste
