Longshot of the day (for Saturday) Soviet Pearl in R10.

[my miss storm cat]

Oh wow Luckyme just won the 4th! That's amazing... he has 4 HK wins and they were all in the 2006 / 2007 season.

Nice!

Chadwick won the first two races...

I'm standing by Soviet Pearl in the 10th. Moonwalk is in the 9th but I've been a Billion fan for a long time and hope he does well. Maybe I've lost my mind but the longshot I like in this one is Osvaldo.

[my miss storm cat]

So much for a lock... Soviet Pearl was 3rd. Oh well.

Retired... Lucky Quality (member of the Top 50 list... a nice horse who hasn't started this season) and Spicy Shrimp (hope he's alright, he just raced on Wednesday).
