It's actually horrendously bad with the 7. Equals the parlay, using the Pick-4, and I have a hard time believing Ricardo A was 2-1 in the Pick-6.

Nice, by the way, how the rail was opened up for the last winner on the backstretch.

I don't like the horse, but Titan is alive so I am cheering for him. I liked the 2,5,10 (if I would have played)

I understand. The payoffs look low considering how tough this sequence was.

I can't believe how no one used the 5 at all. Swain's horses are infinitely better routing and Baker is a good trainer from what I can tell, that last looks like 'lets get him out there' type run.

i agree, swain's need two turns and the first wasn't bad; showed some speed and beat more than half the field. gets a couple decent interim drills in as well plus Coa.

Wouldn't have beat the 7 today but he ran well, given he blew the first turn and then looked dead and came flying with a little trouble.

Good job Titan on the hit.....

First of all, congratulations to Titan Sooner. Great job.

Now, for those that wonder why some people have occasional problems with seemingly odd performances by Gary Contessa trained runners, I suggest they take a good long look at the future Kentucky Derby ( and probable Triple Crown winner ) that just won the NY Bred finale. Earlier on the card, Ricardo A, another Gary Contessa runner, somewhat suprisingly galloped versus OK older claimers, at a somewhat surprisingly low 2-1. Well, that's OK, Ricardo A has run some decent races in the past, and is capable of Beyer figs in the low to mid 90s. However, the mighty Wishful Tomcat just ran a full second faster than Ricardo A. Now, don't give me " he was loose on the inner " argument....because so was Ricardo A. However you want to cut it, the performance by Wishful Tomcat is the kind that make horseplayers angry....to say the least. It's inexplicable.
