My 2nd attempt at calling a long shot here...

But, Sharp Writer.....15-1 on the morning line....really has my attention in the little stakes race in the 8th at Baymeadows tomorrow.

Log in and watch his last effort at 6 furlongs this past summer.

Two races back he was in with The Tin Man.

OK. OK. Maybe I should get off this horse, but I like Sharp Writer's chances again tomorrow in the $150,000 race at Golden Gate. He's had some gaps in his races, so maybe THIS is the race I should count as 2nd off his layoff.

Watch calracing.com, and he has run better in his last couple starts than he deserved to finish. Bisono had to check him in his last race two weeks ago, then when he started to go again he got him boxed in like an Irvine (or Art Bier) driven Northfield chalk in the races of my youth.

Though I hardly think Bisono got a ML 15-1 trapped intentionally, of course.

I'm tossing Buzzard's Bay. I just don't think tomorrow will be his Day by The Bay.


Maybe topic for a different folder, but Russell Baze must have Saturday night plans. Odd that he doesn't have a mount in a Bay Area stakes race, and in fact I don't think he's scheduled to ride in any of the last three races tomorrow.

I do see that Joe Talamo is up from SoCal to ride the Frankel horse in this same 8th race tomorrow.

But he doesn't have any mounts scheduled earlier in the day.

I for one always like to see an invading jockey I might be betting on have a race over the course earlier in the day before his reason for being.

Another reason I think tomorrow could be Sharp Writer's day.

In the category of God, drunks and fools perhaps, I ran to the OTB and put $50 on Sharp Writer to win, and $100 to place. The #1 horse.

I just checked the charts and see he ran last.

I also see that he was part of an entry....unknown to me when I decided to bet him.

The other half ran 2nd, and paid $10.60 to place!

hehe!

Too Cool. I thought the 1 horse was a winner when he headed McCanns Mojave at the furlong pole.
