Hoping Catching Fireflies has the same kind of run later today.

Thanks, jms. As I am carrying a number of juveniles on the books, these trips to the winner circle are definitely necessary to stay in the black. The young ones that have raced have all won, except for Mistevious (whose second race happens next week at Mahoning Valley).

The jock on CFF did exactly as instructed (take her back and make a late run for a placing). Unfortunately, every other trainer had the same idea. Might have been better off letting her chase Lady Shipman, who put in fairly soft fractions. But in the end, CFF did not bring her "A" game and it was not her day.

Cheers,

Otis
