Day 1 Results
Wagered-$8
Returned-$0

Day 2

Best bet- Race 7- #1 Catch a Bid
Ultra competitive race and Chad Brown has 4 entered before scratches, but Catch a Bid is the best one IMO. Her return was little more than a paid workout when her stablemate threw the rider, but I think she will end up being a graded stakes winner soon and this is a good springboard to that. Figures to sit a nice trip with the inside draw, should get some pace to run at and should be a fair price.

Best longshot- Race 3- #7 Fried Rice King
Flay homebred was part of ridiculous pace two back and romped last time while rating kindly. Outside draw should allow him to work out a nice stalking trip, Pletcher seems to win a good deal of these 9 furlong races here and I think this guy has some more to give. Main danger is the fresh Diodoro claim and while I respect him, if he’s anywhere near the ML, how could you like him?

Day 2 results
Fried Rice King came out of the gate like I have to start the meet and was never involved. Catch a Bid was bad at a way underlaid 8/5. Toughest meet in the country and I have been close with any of my picks. On to the next...
Wagered $8
Returned-$0
Meet totals
Wagered $16
Returned-$0

Day 3
Best bet- Race 3-#1 Domestic Spending
I know he has to face a really good horse in Decorated Invader and an up and comer in Gufo but I have been so impressed with Domestic Spending’s first two races. He finished like a good thing last time in a race that he appeared beat and I think we are going to see another strong effort here.

Longshot- Race 4-#3 Queen Kahen
I don’t normally land on Chad Summers trained runners but with so much speed lined up in this one and keeping Rosario I think the race flow is going to fit this one perfectly. Has a win over the course and might end up being a good claim.
