![]() Took a sound beating at Belmont Thursday as poor decisions and jump up winners quashed virtually every attempt. The day's key price ideas -- Roses for the Star, Eternal Ruler and Scootles -- all ran decent races, but invariably fell short or were overhauled to finish 3rd, 3rd and 2nd respectively. P6 carried for another day to reach $103k, but opening card at Keeneland draws my primary attention. As if alluring scenarios at New York and Kentucky weren't enough, Santa Anita carried Thursday as well and has a $42k jackpot to start their sextet. Hope I didn't bury you too badly Thursday, and that we can score some on the challenging Keeneland opening slate to go into the big holiday weekend on the uptick!

![]() Thanks, but I didn't use Hoofit in my main P4 play. Did at least snare a decent double out of him with Stephanie's Kitten.

![]() One thing to take away from the Alcibiades is continuing struggle of Flashy Bull progeny on synthetic. Flashy Lassie and Cheerleader 13th and 14th there as Flashy Bull continues 0-fer as a sire on the rubber...
