I thought it was pretty interesting that Assmussen claimed the second winner at Aqueduct Wednesday.

The horse was 20-1!

I noticed the same thing about the 20/1 shot that was claimed. He won rather easily. Bet you a certain trainer had some win money on him

I also thought Coa's ride in the 9th was a little interesting. He wasnt beat all that much by Log Jam and about 20-30 yards from the line looked to the inside of him when he should have been trying to win the race.

I dont like American All Star today at SA. These horses are turn takers and he had his last time. A horse I have been chasing to no avail is Witness This. He comes off a dirt race and gets back to his more favored surface. He runs well here and at this distance. Would not be surprise if he gets his turn today and at around 6/1 or 7/1, I think hes the best play in here.

He actually claimed Cute But Tough, who finished 5th @ 6-1, which is just as surprising because this one showed absolutely nothing (last by 28) against a statebred MSW. The fact that he went off at 6-1 shows how horrible this field was...

Somebody is wrong then. After the race, it was reported that the winner Restless Mind was claimed. Not exactly sure by who but I definetely remember seeing that this horse had been claimed.

Says on equibase that the horse that was claimed was Cute but Tough.

i wonder if Steve A. went on an internet board and asked for opinions.
goes something like this............

i like this horse in the 2nd today at the big a. i think i can improve him 25-30 points in one race. what do you all think?



and a response like this..............

i think you're being conservative. you'll probably see a 35-40 point improvement next out. best of luck, S. Lake

Believe it or not I look at another board where somebody gave out that winner like three day ago.

Helluva pick.
