Maryland Million Day

[Beachbabe]

Early Double
Race 1
:7: Gonna try to beat the 1-9 fav (Twelve Pack Shelly) with #7 LOVE'S REASON...really like Jenkins & everything he sends out. 3rd start for this one who closed fast at Del in an allowance at 3-2 odds & missed by a length.

Race 2
:7: STEADY WARRIOR broke his maiden in style at Del; working fast for this; a lot of the others are maidens

Well, the 1-9 shot got beat, but not by my fast closing pick.

Race 3:
#1 HILL CROSSING ships from Suffolk where he won a couple of allowances

Luckily the :8: got beat at the wire by the :5: or I would have hit the pick 3 & lost money. As it was, with the :5: winning I made a small profit.

In race 6, although there a couple of nice horses, I can't get beyond #6 ROARING LION -11 for 28; is coming back from a little freshening after winning two straight stakes at Monmouth

Race 7:
#1 INTO THE WIND has a little more back turf class than the rest of these. Trombetta having a banner year.
#2 POCKET PATCH has more turf wins that any of these (3). Has regressed since last year, but there's no world-beaters in this field

:10: Ben's Cat wins the 5th & I hit that pick 3 which paid twice what the last one paid. So I'm in the black for the day.
