Dubai Escapade

Somebody other than Dubai Escapade actually went off at 2/1? Why?

I suppose her last race left a bad taste in the mouth of bettors. I certainly thought she would be heavily favored myself. I really couldnt see the money that Maalibu Mint was taking was justified. I think it stemmed from the fact that Gomez was hot up here and was getting the mount from Arce, which was ridiculous because the other kid didn't do anything wrong the last time and she coldnt get by Stormy Kiss. If ever there was an overlay at 6-5, she was it.

You know I didnt see the horse's names, just the numbers. I saw a horse at 2/1 and I thought maybe it was Nothing but Fun or that Stormy Kiss.
If I bet Dubai Escapade, she would have been reeled in, LOL!

I hit the exacta quite a few times. Couldn't believe it paid 27 and change.

Well Henny was stepping up in his only his second race off the layoff. This filly only had to come back to her pre calder form to win by open lengths. The rest of the field were pure nothings.
