Early and rolling thoughts on today's card
One interesting note, with the first 4 races yesterday and first 4 today, we've only 7 players pick a winner so far and no one has done it twice yet. And that's with 5 winners picked in the first BC race yesterday.
AMAZING results . . . not really.

So in the Classic, we finally have some form and a legitimate race, but a "legitimate race" in thoroughbred horse racing is kind of an oxymoron, right? Very uneasy two days, very disappointed in a lot of the results but again that's the sport of many and the thrill for others.
Delmar looked beautiful and all and all it was a great production. Just way too many races against form . . . hello Guido its the way it is for the BC days.

My handicapping and what actually happened on track were pretty much out of synch all day. I had keyed Bolt d'Oro in the top two slots in a trifecta and made him a single in a pick 3, only to have him run a lackluster third while very wide throughout. Overlooked several other winners completely. Not a good day at the "windows".
Nevertheless, I enjoyed the series of BC races very much. The TV coverage of a beautiful track was very good, I didn't see any on track breakdowns or injuries, I don't remember any inquiries or objections, and the actual winners represented a few folks who had not had the spotlight in the past. And the Classic, despite the disappointing performance of Arrogate, was still a great race to watch and had a wonderful performance by Gun Runner. All in all, that made for a pretty good day of racing.
