I had a $20 P3 ending with Javy & Lezcano ... All I could do is laugh at myself for leaving Chad Brown's horse off of the ticket. Heading into the stretch I thought the 4 had a very real shot of making me some beaucoup bucks! Bricks & Mortar closed like a freight train once he was tipped out!

Between that finish & Dream Doctor getting beat at wire, it's a marvel how I still managed to bend yesterday over my knee!

yesterdays card just did little for me but I passed on that Emancipation race because I could not get behind the winner enough who I had thought was viable. Emancipation actually ran dang well considering, but at 8/5 was not a great bet.

Wow, I just watched it and was super impressed. Where has this horse been hiding?

That division feels loaded. Seems like there are good 3yr old turf horses running every week all over the place.
Did you see who his sire is???

He ran really well considering the pace. Could be a major player on a 9f allowance or the Curlin at Saratoga.

A full to Orb trained by Shug should get better seems a bit pace dependent but that may change with seasoning. Shug hasnt has a good dirt horse in a while

It looks like he just has that will to win.

Looks beat in the stretch until he's tipped out, then he gobbles up ground needed for the win. Eager to see where he lands next!
