I broke about even. I got there early to bet against the Cole Norman entry in the first race. I hit the exacta (36-1 and 11-1!) and the second horse was DQ'd! So thank God I played pick 3's and I nailed it with the 36-1 horse in the first/w Ashado/w Sweet Catomine ($1,600). I then went through this money for the rest of the day.
In the F&M turf I completely tossed Oujia Board, but I hit that head2head (Film Maker (GREAT ride!) beat two others including Frankel). I also couldn't hook up Singletary.
In the Juvenile I KNEW that the American horses were going to get run down in the stretch, but I thought it would be SCANDANAVIA and not WILKO.
Also, before I left the house, I asked my wife what she liked (she didn't have time to look at the sheets) so she looked at the program and said "BETTER TALK NOW." I don't have to tell you I didn't even play $10 win (I used him under in the tris). On the DQ/non-DQ controversy I thought the stewards were right to let it stand...
Could've been worse. I've been playing mostly Chicago every week (I'm going to play the end of the card today) and it's been pretty good. Full fields and the numbers work out. Nice grass races too...
We'll get 'em next year... HP
