Hey Nick, I don't know if I should be happy getting through that first leg at Aqu or disgusted that I was 4 deep to get the 4/5 favorite. He looked to be in big trouble at the top of the stretch.

I think I feel a bit lucky, but I thought that Castro moved too early in both the first and second races. He got away with it in the first, but if he had a little more patience in the second and waits a bit on Game Token, I thought he had a shot to get to the winner. I am afraid I may have spread a bit too much in the pk4 and am going to need a price in the 4th and 5th. Good Luck getting this home, Matt!

What an improved horse Haya's Boy has been off the claim, went from hanger to a very competitive race horse.

Good chance it chalks out Nick. We got hurt when the 6 didn't get out, he would have been some cheap speed that would have pressured the favorite. As far as Castro goes, I think he was trying to be with the rest of the pack as they were making their moves too. Maybe he thought he would be in trouble if they got the jump on him. But fte watching the favorite get away, I really don't think it mattered much.
