One can go nuts spreading on this card. I will be taking the opposite approach with minimal horizontals and verticals.


Add opinions on the amazing card.


Race 1
Route Runner....Out of mare that earned nearly 2 million, mostly on grass, and sired by the deadly Gun Runner
Fire Baron...troubled debut at the Spa

[Boomer]

very well meant race 1 and took a ton of money


Race 2



Baj...will be forwardly placed...second off layoff second for LOBO

easy winner except went from 8-1 to 7-2 after the race started

[Boomer]

Golden Sights for the DD....Similar profile to winner of race 2. Showed he liked the turf last and will be forwardly placed, likely in lane 2

[Boomer]

Brutal loss last race


Race 4


Course Runner...Expect improvement on grass
Wings Like Eagles...will be tough with a clean trip

Interesting to note that Atone and Pixolate are taking the most $ in the double. $10/1 and 14/1 (respectively)

This card is insane.

Without any doubt the best turf racing card I've ever seen run in the States.

The backside of the card is just nasty. I'm typically NOT a pick 5 player but I caved in and drew up a few tickets. The large fields + the 14% takeout is just too good not to play.

The ladies sprint is a real heavy race. I'm going 5 deep I think.

And throw this tricky turf course on top of fresh grass with rails fully in, and crazy is going to happen.

Hmmm... top shelf time for this track. Could be fast and firm.

Another second. Wrong Maker...Three straight second...getting a little nauseous.

Yep, no deep closers today and an inside a must to close. Rai two and three paths also a must for the stalkers and speed
