Bit of an unusual day to start Travers Week as a handful of offbeat results produced bonus mutuels individually and in the multis. $51 Missysmoonlitmgic in the 2nd triggered the $7k early P4, while $54 Bigger is Bettor (Albany staggerfest upsetter) and $43 nightcap stunner Staff Sargeant set off a $58k carryover and eye-popping $31,500 late quad. I caught a couple of decent hits here and there utilizing 5-1 Majestic Hope (1st), 7-1 Eleven of Hearts (6th) and 22-1 Griffin Rock (10th), but it wasn’t that great of a day by any accounting. Hope you did OK! Thursday card starts with G1 hopper event ahead of some interesting sets. Note the $35k Hi-5 carryover later in Del Mar’s nightcap…

Odd assembly given race condition in that none of the 7 signed on have started yet at the meet. 8-1 Bakhoor is fast enough as dirt runner and dam Gossamer, trained by Tommy Skiffington, broke her maiden and cleared N1X on the MTH turf. She has produced Allover (Spinning World), a Baffert trainee that won sprinting at first asking in 2003 ahead of an ALW win on the DMR lawn that earned a 95 Beyer, and Bachelor Duke (Miswaki) who won the Group 1 Irish 2000 Guineas over notable Azamour.

Argentine Talisman, one of the keys to success for many of us this meet, returns in same spot. Note that Johnny V. opts for Chad Brown’s 5-2 favorite this time around, but The Man Uptown is a major underlay rising in price and needing to improve just to contend. I’m opting for still improving Kid Curry at an attractive number, expecting a bit of a pace duel between Dual Citizen and J Isle. On that topic, it’s worth noting that should either of that pair get away easy on the front end, they could be tough to reel in. Very good race in the manner $50k claimer events should be!

After a humdrum week of capping and play mid-meet, enjoying a superb run of success since Wednesday including excellent returns on Saturday’s Alabama Day card. After being surprised by Ferraro’s Finger Lakes invader in the 2nd, I had a good feel for the rest of the afternoon. Nabbed the solid late P4 ($599) and rolled lucrative P3’s that were particularly boosted by $14 B Shanny (Top tab/Best Value), $14.40 Tapaway (Top tab/Best Value) and $20.40 Fantastic Song (4th choice/Super Add).

The carryover P6 paid an outrageous $366k to 2 winners, and I went 4 of 6 failing to reach Fantastic Song and Midnight Billy with the $192 ducat. But it hardly took away from a delightful big day that was bolstered by the beautiful weather and a great crowd that clearly reveled in the Spa atmosphere. The feature saw Bill Mott add another important race to his Hall of Fame career achievements as Royal Delta easily annexed the 131st Alabama, and Sunday patrons have a chance to see another special filly with many excited about the next exploit of Winter Memories. Hope you did great Saturday and that we again can avoid the thunderstorm gremlins Sunday!

Rarely suggest focusing play on Rusty Arnold, but #7 Run a Risk (10-1) is the right place to try given experience factor versus many firsters and pedigree power on move to intended surface (assuming it stays on the turf). Note that Lisa Lewis sends the baby full sister of Ginger J here. That one broke her maiden as a FTS 3yo against $25k types just 9 days ago at 7-1. Lewis is solid with debuters in general — though not necessarily with firsters turf sprinting — but it seems prudent to be aware in this particular situation..

Fun afternoon Friday as day-long tension built towards our Dee Tee Stables’ start by Ausable Chasm in the 9th. Things turned out well as the Hook and ladder filly ran a highly encouraging race in her turf debut off a 5 month layoff. Under Shaun Bridgmohan, Ausable finished 7th in the 9 horse agglomeration, beaten less than 3 lengths while wide the whole way. She exited the race in fine shape and could run back before Labor Day if a similar event materializes on the extras.

The rest of the day was largely uneventful frankly, and the intervention of Bwana Babe (3rd), Soinlovewithuam I (5th) and Feel What’s Real (10th) busted up nearly every multi-race play. Caught one decent P3 ($111) that ended with Gitchee Goomie’s Yaddo win as well as a couple exactas, but leaked easily $500 of bankroll on the day.

Big weekend with lots of opportunities ahead however, including Saturday’s $219k double carryover on Alabama Day.. Hope you did OK Friday, and thanks to everyone for their well wishes for ‘Sable’s race! Seth Merrow and I welcome Matt Hegarty, Lenny Shulman and Kenny McPeek this morning on “Loose on the Lead” on Capital OTB-12 if you’re in the region…
