My Xpressbet account was looking pretty anemic, but now only down a few dollars.

The majority of us did lousy yesterday. Lots of upsets an very hard to put exactas and tris together let along anything else. Just one of those days. Nice going on your Xpressbet wager!!!

My admiration to those who backed Rated R Superstar in the Essex. The old guy has run a couple of amazing races at Oaklawn this year. I had included him underneath in one of my exacta combos, but thought that the Essex group was just too salty for him to have much of a chance of winning. Wrong again. Plainsman only ran a soso race and Warrior's Charge didn't show up at all. I wonder how long Rated R can hold his form. Gives hope to all of us old guys.

Didn't notice that in either of our contests. Hope it was somewhere where you had some real $$ on Rated R.

A person might play them one way when you are looking at them on paper, but another according to how the track is playing. When I saw how that horse came from the clouds to win the Whitmore, I decided to play a couple of the closers, Rated R and Beau Luminaire along with Warrior's Charge(not a closer) both over and under Plainsman. Also, didn't hurt that Rated R was the only horse, I think, in the field that had actually beaten Plainsman. Worked on Saturday, but who knows, I might have just gotten lucky. Whatever the case, I'll take it and not ask too many questions! Something else was that I can remember when Rated R's trainer, Villafranco, won another Graded Stakes with a horse I think that was even older than Rated R. The guy seems to have luck with the senior citizen set. Wish I knew the secret. I could use something like that.
