The race looks fairly contentious with the 3 5 and 8 horses the main contenders. Hopefully the 3 and 5 both bounce off very quick turnarounds and the outside horse has gone off form. Taconic Zip should move forward a little bit..... Paul

That was truly one of life's disappointments. Word was that she got sandblasted and being the first time ever that she got dirt in her face she reacted by losing 15 lengths by stopping. She did gain a little momentum in the stretch but by then it was way too lates. Major disappointment. Sorry, all. Back to the drawing board. Might have to drop to 5,000 Mdn Clm.
