Plus they sent out a bunch of free bets on it for tomorrow too (sent me a $5 one).

I used to get sent a $5 something about once/month... this is the first one they've sent me this year. Or the 'mystery voucher', which I've actually done pretty well with... one teller told me that I had the highest one they'd seen all day once. Wasn't much, but I'll take the free ones if they send them.

I just got another thing from the TSC in the mail. Says I get 20 point/dollar the whole month of June (but only on bets made from the AP Grandstand on any live AP race)... trackside doesn't count.

The 1A Three Graces could be a live longshot in the 1000 Guineas. Was well beaten running behind Eight Belles a few times at the Fairgrounds, switched to turf at Hawthorne and found it much more to her likeing. Given, I'm sure she liked the drop in competition as well, but her BSF jumped more than 10 points from her career best and if you watch the replay it's obvious she loved the switch to turf. Her 1/2 sis Pricearose couldn't beat allowance horses on the dirt, but after the switch to turf was multiple GSP at Churchill. She's taking a big step up no doubt, but if she improves off her 1st turf try she won't be without a chance, IMO.
