I had a good day, not as good as some TG players (No Car Tony evidently, also a certain TV producer, not a big bettor, who made 75k). Hit Street Sense and the Mile hard, had a decent bet on Invasor, small saver on Thor's Echo, but had some chances for big scores that didn't materialize-- if Octave doesn't run a new top I crush the tri, if someone else runs third in the Sprint I take home the grandstand, if Frankel wins the photo for second in the Mile I do even better than I did (got the same 32-1 Tony did, hit the tri pretty good), and Giacomo getting up for fourth cost me the super in the Classic. I was also alive after the first 3 legs of the pick 6 (which included $30 and $50 horses), with visions of sugar plums dancing in my head...
Still, can't complain. The analysis in the seminar held up very well, especially the overviews. Ground loss was a very big deal Saturday-- Cotton Blossom will get as good a figure as DOA, Wait a While and English Channel probably ran the same numbers they have been. We'll see, and we'll post the whole day as usual.
As for the rail, I'll take a look at it, but my gut tells me it was the shortest way home, no more. The way to tell is by looking at the numbers they run, not where they finish, and you have to look at all those that ran on the rail (Bordonaro etc.), not just the winners. When we post the day everyone can put in their two cents.
CTC-- Denman did not have a good day, but Phil GEORGEFF ?!?! You go too far.
Kev-- Yeah, Kenley uses our stuff, used it to claim Lava Man over the objections of someone using other data. False claims elsewhere nothwithstanding.
