This race falls in the "glass half-empty" 57% of the time side of the stat. I'll officially go on the record and borrow BTW's dunce cap for this one

His dam, Petrouchka (Red Ransom) won over 50% of her grass races including a Graded Stake. Should be a nice price today as the other firsters in the race, for Dale Bennett and Dominic Schettino, should take more money than this one.

So last night I am in my hotel room and saw this one was making his second lifetime start today. A check of TG tells me he really doesn't have to improve much to compete here. Since he was in the 5th race, I looked at a couple Pick 3's that involve the 5th. I pieced together a $3 ticket (singling the 8 in the 4th and the 8 in the 5th) in the 3-4-5 races and I put together a $5 ticket with races 4-5-6, thinking I would bang each ticket a few times. There is no Pick 3 starting with the 5th so I stopped at that. I got busy at work and was nowhere near an internet connection in BFE North Carolina. At about noon, I thought about calling my wife to see if she could put the tickets in for me, but I just said screw it it will be a pain in the ass and didn't call her.

I just got back to my hotel room and watched the replays. I want to throw up.....

Willsboro Point went wire to wire and paid $77.80 to win. Races 3-4-5 P3 paid $1,342.30 for each $1 and the P3 for races 4-5-6 paid $1,055.60 for each $1.

Did I mention that I want to throw up?

I remember that. I bet him the first time based on your analysis. Didn't even know he was running back today.

OUCH. Unfortunately I know the feeling and can empathize to a degree for I bet this one first out as well...my day job got in the way of me getting back aboard today with a simple $10WP play. I am sick myself. Not often will we get $77 winners.

Bigs - I remember this....which makes the day even sicker...Brassie Prince is the new Hurry Up Hillary and the exclusion of your logical 6 in the 8th cost me a grand... As Mitch would say - "BET WITH CONFIDENCE" !!! we'll get 'em tomorrow
And for good mesure no one wanted any part of Wicked Sweet saturday so the race didn't fill- May move her up to Alw on Tuesday or 10 on Thursday..... Wonder if CPF is busy ?!

I saw she wasn't entered and assumed it didn't fill. Glad to hear she's okay.

I'm still sick, but I'm on to tomorrow....

Let us know when she'll run.
