2-for-6 top-pick with the winners paying only $5.20 and $4.40 -- that type of performance gets you heckled in Erie.

That big Inside-Speed bias wasn't there at all at PID tonight to say the least. Had it been -- it would have carried my pace setters in the 3rd and 4th home.

The horse in the 3rd was completely loose turning for home -- and wasn't running any real strong pace numbers to do it -- and he got absolutely swallowed in the final furlong.

I'm still trying to make a case for the winner in the last. The Beyer par was 58 and two horses that had never run that number in their life finish 1-2

Everyone else in the entire fields last fig was 6 points below par for the class level. So it was a below par type race for the class level on paper.

If you're looking for reasons why those two might have improved -- the winner in the last got a significant jock switch to the best rider here and more importantly -- he's a one dimensional closer and this track today was as friendly to closers as it's been pretty much all season.

The 2nd place finisher simply got a loose lead for the first time all year.

As for making a case for them -- neither one had a case going in. They just ran their best and the others didn't.

My bankroll has been taking a beating. I needed a helping hand and boom!! Just like that I walk out of the OTB with a wad off cash. Best day I had in weeks!

Thanks again.

it looked like Woodbine up there today.
TFM would have wiped them out.
