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?

Not at all.

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.

Here's the replay for the two prior runs from that horse -- both at the same class level.

* Breaks from post #2: http://www1.drf.com/displayVideo.do?...=D&country=USA


* Breaks from far outside post position and finishes last in field of 11: http://www1.drf.com/displayVideo.do?...=D&country=USA


Her jockeys took a hold of her early and in the head-on replays of both races -- you can see she was being sort of eased after she got about 20 lengths behind the next to last horse in the field.

It's pretty mysterious how a horse can perform like that one week and almost win a race at the same level the next week. I could see if there was a layoff line and some vet work was done on her and a little time was given to fix an ailment.

Short list of bums for today as I am behind on making my figures and barely had time to look as I have plans for later tonight:

Suffolk Race #2: Candles Onthe Wind

Parx Race #2: Michaela's Candi
