Holiday rolls on; Highweight upset sparks P4 bonanza
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
Hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving and did OK if they were able to play. 12-1 surprise package Cherokee Country from Ramon Preciado in the Fall Highweight, sent Big A P4 into the stratosphere with successful negotiation topping $6k for $1. At Churchill, chalky sequence ended with Bret Calhoun firster Walking the Beach going off as the $1.90 favorite. Mike Battaglia had made the Medaglia d’Oro debuter 8-1 in the a.m., and his lines have been increasingly sloppy and off the mark this fall.
Second of the four day fete offers up a very nice Clark Day card at Churchill, the Top Flight at Aqueduct and the opening of the Turf Festival at Hollywood (Gr. I Citation).
