JD was simply outstanding. He figured to win today, and I think he had the best horse in the Test. I do think, however, that he simply stole the two turf stakes races. Santos clearly had the best horse in both races, and Volponi was probably better in the Diana, but Bailey found a way to get to the winners circle in both. I sometimes think JD is a bit overrated, but after he won both turf stakes at 7-2, I must give him his credit; he is the best...... As for the overall meet, I think the handicapping was very difficult. Despite the large number of winning favotites, I still found it difficult to put three winners together. I managed to hit the double on Saturday with Bailey and the Monmouth horse, but I struggled to stay above water over the first five days. I do think, however, that the meet is off to a great start, and I think next w/e should be a lot of fun. I hope to post some picks, I hope others will as well. Let's see if anybody can beat this very difficult meet.
