Curlin highlights Friday; Should add to Travers field
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
Highly productive start to the week Wednesday with only 7th race winner Treaty Oak escaping notice. Early chalk made multis easy up to that point and 9-1 Shankopotomus, and the $200+ exacta with 18-1 Street Shark, was just the tonic to make up a lot of ground on the opening weekend deficit. After whiffing on Treaty Oak to start the late quad, the last P3 for $250 further enhanced the bankroll. Hope everyone did well and made up any early lost ground. Start to a great weekend today..

SCR #1 Commanding Curve who will run Saturday in the Jim Dandy..
On an otherwise mundane card, this is a terrific group with some advancing types. Seems like there’s a good amount of pace on, which makes you wonder why Commanding Curve opts for Saturday’s alternative..
