4th: MSW, 3yo, 6f (P3, DD, Super)

Race to watch with any number of nicely-bred, lightly-raced and well-matched 3yo’s. Inflation Target is a half to the fast Rattlesnake Bridge and firster Luckysdream a half to Mrs. Weber’s turf routing MSW My Lordship. Ashado son Steele Road and Inflation Target were close behind next out LRL stake winner Beggarthyneighbor and Wild Target ran into tough Hardened Wildcat in his debut. Mr. Ast moves to Levine and gets Ramon. Excellent group, many of which might normally have gone to Florida for the winter if not for the NY purse boost..

Start of the P4 so watch the board for some clues to this tricky group of Empire colts and geldings. There are angles galore here with several 2nd timers from sharp outfits stretching out (Pearl of Wisdom, Fr. Peter’s Missal, Wistful Wildcat, Rkatsiteli) and jockey upgrades like Dominguez getting on Zetterholm..

8th: 119th Toboggan (G3), 3+, 6f (P3, DD, Super)

Good edition of this great old standard which dates back to late 19th Century Bronx oval Morris Park. Defending winner #1a Calibrachoa figures tough again and would join impressive list of back-to-back winners of this famed event that includes Al Fried’s Affirmed Success (2002-03), Rippey (1948-49), Greentree’s Devil Diver (1943-44), Geo. Widener’s Hall of Famer Eight Thirty (1940-41), Brookmeade’s Okapi (1933-34), J. E. Widener’s Osmand (1928-29), High Noon (1915-16) and Augie Belmont’s Octagon (1897-98). Tony Dutrow portion of Dubb ownership entry (#2b Candyman E) is in career best form and merits serious consideration on your multi tickets..

9th: 132nd Withers (G3), 3yo, 8.5f (DD, Super)

Long a late season sophomore staple, The Withers is cleverly being revitalized here to add a second graded event, with next month’s Gotham, to the run up toward the Wood Memorial. Alpha seeks to become Kiaran McLaughlin’s third Withers winner (Divine Park, Mr. Fantasy) off a strong showing in the Count Fleet to start his 3yo campaign. Bernardini homebred from Darley has had well-publicized deportment issues pre-race, but otherwise looks exceedingly formidable against solid but undistinguished set of foes..

Took a thorough beating Saturday getting behind early and then chasing after the loses. Nothing really took root however and several hundred went missing from the bankroll that had been puffed up earlier in the week. Hope I didn’t bury you too badly with a lot of poor opinions. The racing itself featured some particularly sharp efforts in the Gulfstream version of the Sunshine Millions as Mucho Man, Awesome Feather and It’s Me Mom turned in dominating performances, restricted company or not.

At Vegas, the NHC went down to another thrilling last race decider as Baton Rouge, LA native Michael Beychok nipped Chicagoland’s Dave Flanzbaum on a winner in the Golden Gate nightcap. Both players had big closing days, but it’s notable that Beychok was the tourney’s only participant to earn in excess of $100.00 on both days having earned $106.40 on Friday ahead of the $132.20 knocked down Saturday. He bested Flanzbaum ($87.80; $149.80) by $1.00.

Pick 6 carryovers at Aqueduct ($42k) and Santa Anita ($240k) and strong P5 sequence at Gulfstream including the Forward Gal and Holy Bull. Let’s get our money back!
