Looking to GP/SA after rough Big A opener
By kasept. Filed in Uncategorized |
Rule Number Six, that Johnny D. noted had been outposted in three straight winter starts, finally had a cozy berth in the GP 7th Wednesday and parlayed it into a 17-1 upset that ignited the multis. With a virtual free square in $3.00 Big John B, the late P4 paid $1,128, nearly twice the parlay. Pumpidu, who came into the 8th off the best last race, went mildly ignored at over 6-1 and won easily paying a generous $14.40.
With the Florida Derby card the only remaining big day of racing at Gulfstream, be aware that the second tier operations and riders are getting their money with Wednesday finding Pedro Monterrey, Manny Aguilar and bugs Hugo Sanchez (2) and JJ Gonzalez in the winner’s circle.
At Aqueduct, I was blind without a cane as the first 3 legs of the late P4 went to horses I didn’t consider. When Linda Rice first time starter Hay Shares took money, 9-2 from 8-1 ML, I knew I was a chicken in a pot. It got worse from there. Carryover of $18k at Aqueduct as a result of yesterday’s tricky sequence, but I had looked at Santa Anita and Gulfstream already. Hope everyone did OK yesterday despite my showing New York.
