Spewing my sour grapes, if I would have posted what I should have in Races 4 and 5, adding an extra 36 pts and I'd have taken 3rd with 130 pts. Sometimes I just can't figure myself out?

That drone shot was really interesting. I hadn't seen that before. When Epicenter and Zandon came into the stretch, they both started bearing out all the way to the finish. Don't know whether that was just tired horses or a bit of race riding, but probably the former. In the end probably didn't matter as the winner clearly had the edge in energy and momentum. Next year, I've got to come up with a better strategy. Maybe make use of the all button.
Then the favorite will win and I'll still lose money.![]() |
