Top Billing might want a little bit more ground but definitely rounded into form with this race.

This was the second wager of the year for me and my partners.
We had tabbed both of Shug’s horses, Honor Code and Top Billing as good bets in their next outings if we could get 3-1 odds or better on them. We just missed those odds on Honor Code and he won; and on Top Billing we thought we had a good thing at 4-1 odds; and loaded the bucket with “wooden nickels”, but he lost by a nose.
I don’t think we will get those odds again very soon on either of those horses, but it was well worth taking the shot when we did.
