46,000 people and a just miss on a 40 million dollar handle made for just another Saturday of getting crushed at the windows. All you need to know about my day is a posted pick 4 play using 10 horses in the sequence after scratches and NOOOOOO
winners. OUCHIE!!!
TGAB gave out Bayerd in the 4TH @ $19.00 & the gift exacta of Divided Attention & Shayjolie in the 7TH whose price was chopped in half with 2 gate scratches. A tough day for all at the windows, long lines, you know its crowded when the mens room has 30-40 in line, not a patch of green or brown to walk in in the back yard as every inch was covered.
It will be a very interesting figure day for sure! Rosario wasn't going to let Bayern get loose nor Maragh who got taken out for a hot dog on the first turn. Defintely a track a bit on the dull side making the pressured first 6 furlongs of the race an insane contested pace as they staggered home in a 51.66 last half mile.
The Kings Bishop looks like the whole field bounced other than Fast Anna while
Artemis Agrotera in the Ballerina was impressive as the slower distaff 7 furlong heat was a bit faster than the boys in the Kings Bishop.
Steve Byk, Bill and I blocked off the deck and covered it with tables on Friday afternoon keeping the lunatics away for the day. It was our own nice comfortable spot on a crazy day. MathCapper, Just Win, Rezlegal, and a few others wandered in and out throughout the day as not too many T-generates braved the Travers day crowd.The comfort of living room downs would have been the prudent move but what the heck it was Travers Day and the scenery was muy bueno to say the least!
I'm vowing to have a good day next Saturday but won't complain after all per TGJB I got even for life the other day!!!
Good luck,
Frank D.
