After a day which I couldn't find my butt with either hand. I was going to post the only thing going on stupider than my win ticket construction was the time between races 12 & 13 @ Pimlico.

Then race #10 @ Belmont. I chose the #3 mostly because I didn't think #9 s/b 9/5 off the layoff. So my #3, a need to lead type, broke well but couldn't get the lead. I'm beat (again) I thought. My pick drifted back to 3rd and was joined by someone while the two leaders (#9 +?) appeared to take over the race.

But #3 quit losing ground? Dazed I watched the horse begin to reel in the leaders and suddenly with new energy a second wind I rolled by on the outside as the #1 did on the inside.

A mad splash to the wire resulted in a photo which I won by about 1/2 an inch avoiding a shutout by scoring in the bottom of the 10th with a trip that just didn't figure.

Tough beat for those who backed the #1.
