Joe,

4 within a length at the wire may just be an understatement!

This is an awesome betting race and you can make a very legitimate argument for 10 of the 13 entered to be in the trifecta.

Ancient Secrets last race is a total and complete throw out as well as a non effort where she did not expend much more energy than a work out. For Chad to bring this one back in 3 weeks says a lot about that. I can only hope that weight and ground loss will keep her out of the top position and will play accordingly in a defensive position using her very lightly in the 2nd slot and heavily in the 3rd and 4th slots.

The 4 I'll surround her with and make a small tri and super box with in case she runs completely out are Believe in Bertie, Ultra Brat, Welcoming & Insta Erma.

This race ends a pick 3 sequence that starts in the 6th race with a horse that may be a major wager for me today. Plainview loves this course and distance, beat the favorite on it last September and has my favorite Florida front end pilot in Tyler
Gaffalione on board. He apparently is only in town for the day and has picked up a few mounts by a hustling jock agent. I have no allusions of 10/1 on this one but 5 or 6/1 will make me hit send a few times.

Good luck,

Frank D.
