The last 2 ROTWs have been very profitable and it would have been hard not to make money on both those races if you agreed with the analysis in the ROTW.

I also wish Tap The Admiral would have had a better trip. He was dead last early (normally much closer to the pace) thanks to completely missing the break and he still closed strongly to finish third on a course that was favoring early speed.

I also wish that Great Notion had held on for the win. I could not believe the exacta with Valid Video only paid $98. It would have been much more had it been reversed. I was however very happy to see Ghostzapper come flying up for the show spot because I did not have During on any of my tickets. The trifecta more than made up for the weak exacta.

Looking forward to tomorrow's Pacific Classic - At first glance it looks like a terrible betting race with only 4 horses entered but Candy Ride will be a huge underlay given that his top is the slowest in the race. Also, if you think that Dr. Frankelstein may have made some recent alterations to his training methods in anticipation of the increased drug testing scheduled for the fall (because it takes many weeks to clear certain drugs such as EPO out of a horse's system), then Fleet Street Dancer does not look totally impossible in this race even though his connections probably entered just to get the fourth place money...

Cheers.
