14 of them ran today, all lost, but one horse provided a huge scare.





This horse looked like the proverbial free bingo square.

She had no trip excuses at all in those first two races...she simply just broke a bit slow, ran very, very slow early, very, very slow middle, and very very slow late.

Maybe they stiffed this horse in those first two races and bet it today -- I don't know. Either way...what looked like an ultimate gimmie on paper almost blew this up while finishing 2nd beaten 0.75 lengths.

Her big prior performance coming when she was beaten just 44.5 lengths in a 7f race run in a sparkling 1:27.80 ... the next time I see a horse with a form like that owned by someone called "Tonys Investments" -- I will pass. Even the owners name was shady on that one.


472 down, only 528 more to go.

She didn't get bet like she was stiffed the first few.

Calder is a place where you can get some action offshore and in Europe.

If not that, I have no idea why she improved so much in one week.

I have never heard of the trainer ( I don't follow Calder at all). Is he considered as one of those guys that have the "special" feed?

Deputy Wild Cat's out of Yonaguska mares are always dangerous second time off a DNF.

Today the bums made off with $12,203 to bring the new grand total up to $470,494.

To put today's close call in perspective, Unreal Reply was only the second horse out of 472 to be beaten less than a length. And even if the unthinkable had happened and he had won, the ROI for anyone betting on these "picks" would only be $0.30. As it is, of course it remains a stellar $0.00.
