Actually there was quite a bit of traditional sheet play involved in the outcome.

It was assumed by many that this year we could handicap by giving the trainers preference over the lines....horses being touted that either never advanced or had no bottom.flower alley...andromeda...going wild...high fly...high limit{frankel hoss comes out running and maintains its #}...wilko.

horses that peaked too soon and /or lacked a bottom....greelys...bandini...bellamy...noble

sun king had the signature 0-x-2 and won't be a bet for up to 2 months



Buzzards bay was the only line you might be aligned against because of the new age trainer syndrome.But his line is a winning one albeit a tad slow.

closing arg. & afleet a. were the traditional line that sheet players wager on.

Giacomo was blessed the first Sat. in May...the only piece of the puzzle that makes this game so damn frustrating.

A personal thanx to Jimbo66 for reminding me that the day offered many betting possibilities....helped me get over the dejection of a/a being bet exactly as everyone pointed out to me.

PARTYpokerON!
