Forget GP! NY/CA trip gains; Monday a holiday of racing
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
The key to the $308 P4 and sassy P3 returns at Arcadia was the opinion that Always a Princess was the only other horse to consider with Blind Luck in the El Encino. In that situation, the public is overwhelmingly going to opt to single the Jerry Hollendorfer filly that receives the 3yo female statuette tonight on Collins Ave. That’s opens the door for even the smallest player to capitalize on overlays in the multi pools as a result. The P3’s that featured Always a Princess, who from my viewpoint was getting back to her best trip around two turns and figured hard to reel in on the slick SA strip, paid $160 (twice the parlay) and $113 (25% above the parlay). The nightcap provided one of the rare pleasures in horse play, as I was live to 4 for the P4, and three of them grappled at the wire for the win. 8-1 Our Last Monte would have boosted the payoff by $500, but favored Resplendently would not be denied for Brice Blance and Tom Bell.
All in all a fun day and a nice recovery from Saturday’s machinations and lessons in frustration. Hope you did well! Martin Luther King Jr. Day provides a full slate of racing action, with some excellent stakes scheduled including the San Marcos and San Pedro at SA, Jimmy Winkfield at AQU, Native Dancer at LRL and Smarty Jones at OP. Full coverage and the Weekend Review this morning on ATR!

Would be delighted to take a stand against underlaid #3 Stormandaprayer (9-5), but ‘first time Pletcher’ for hard to please client Bobby Flay makes her hard to deny. If hustling Lopez on Zito’s #7 Alla Prima gets latched on early to Cohen and the ML choice, then you might very well get a perfect trip set up for one of the stalker types in here. Quirky group. Note that #5 Annual Appeal is cross-entered for the ALW feature today at Philly..
