Speaking of Gulfstream...anyone find some light payoffs today?

Races 2-4 winners paid $28.40, $5.20, and $28.40

$2 pick 3 paid $647.60, but the $2 parlay was at $1,022.40?

Just speculating, but figure that the middle leg was little more than a 2-horse race, so doubt there was a HUGE deal of spreading in that leg, not killing lots of tickets. Or at least that's how it looked to me.

And I'd imagine you got much closer to the 6-1 morning line on Fire Chief in the pick-3 than the 13-1 win pool odds.

I figured as much, I just didn't bother looking at the ML odds for the races. I was just scanning results is all and it looked a little light.

Love your name Gaining Ground. Now I get to think of those Battaglia calls that come up in my nightmares.

Why the hate for Battaglia?

I almost never watch races from that track, but he doesn't seem that awful to me the few times I've heard him.

He's way past awful. He takes forever to identify horses and elongates words like "seconnnd" in addition to his "GAINING GROUND" BS. I have to mute the TV.

I really wish I knew which big race at Turfway last year it was, maybe the Lane's End?, where he just kept repeating "GAINING GROUND!" because he couldn't figure out which horse was coming on the outside. It was an all-time Battaglia classic.
