Saturday - the big day - maybe our last trip to the Preakness and Pimlico.
Let's make the most of it this year!
Did well on the undercard, mainly because they let a Jamie Ness runner go off at 4-1 in Race2.
Had the Asmussen/Santana winner of the Md Sprint Stks at about 5-2.
Tried to beat the heavy chalk in the inaugural Searching Stks at 1-2 odds...idiots...she rolled untested for the entire 12f.
Not sure how we screwed up The Very One Stks in R9, but we managed to miss our bets.
Made a strong (and losing) play in the 10th on another Delacour trainee in the Gallorette Stks named
I'm So Fancy. Thought she was a sure thing and singled her in doubles and pick 3's, as well as on top only in exotics. Just like Friday, she got a great trip, tipped out in the lane, and ran outta gas
She finished 2.75 lengths behind
Magical last summer in France, as well as being beaten less than a length by BrCup F&M Turf favorite
Eziyra.
Didn't think they had a chance against her. Rosario wired the field on the #4.
Among the runners used in the 2nd leg of the double and pick3 was the 17-1 winner of the Chick Lang Stks,
Lexitonian, who won a race that seemingly no one wanted to win. The leader was dying to get passed in the lane, and finally did.
The Dixie was a fantastic race, and again my play just wasn't good enough. Loved the #3
Admission Office under Rosario. Hell, I still love that horse, he looks like a stone cold turf runner who closes with a wild rush. Did so again on Sat but couldn't collar
Catholic Boy, who was impressive off the shelf in a race his trainer said he may need. Dude wins on any surface. Rosario was pretty far back but made a strong rail rally to scare the winner late...hmmm, what if this race was still run at 9f..??? We hit a small saver exacta.
Time for the big race...
