Tampa
Race 6 -
1st 6 ROYAL REGAN $10.60 $4.80 $3.00
Race 9 -
Ever and Anon was pinched at the break which virtually eliminated her at 5-1 as she does her best on the front end.
Race 10 -
Syncopation just isn’t the same horse he once was over the Tampa turf course and faded to about 5th at 13-1.
Fair Grounds
Race 5 -
Pay Now runs poorly but got no help from J. Campbell. Broke a step slow, rushed 3 wide through an opening 1/4 of 21.3, three wide every step of the turn, done at top of stretch. Well done.
Race 7 -
Trisha’s Silver runs a strong 2nd but the winner was ultra impressive making up a huge amount of ground through the stretch.
2nd 2 TRISHA’S SILVER $3.60 $3.20
Laurel Race 9 -
Gattopardo, who improved sharply in his latest, drew off while my two selections didn’t do much running.
Aqueduct Race 8 -
1st 1 MALIBU MOONSHINE $31.60 $10.20
2nd 3 TEMPORARY SAINT $7.20
I beat Daheer 1-5 but because Chucky decided to take both himself and Daheer out instead of stalking I lose to the longest shot on the board. Thanks.
Gulfstream Park
Race 9 -
Sir Whimsey upset the GP Park Handicap at a nice price in a 5 horse field.
1st 4 SIR WHIMSEY $9.00 $4.60 $2.80
Santa Anita
Race 7 - El Gato Malo ran 2nd, beaten by Colonel John and really Flores was outridden by Gomez.
2nd 1 EL GATO MALO $2.20 $2.10
Race 8 -
Neither Storm Military nor War Monger really threatened when it counted here. War Monger was grossly overbet at 1-1. How about Ever A Freind. Ultra impressive through the stretch, another Mike Mitchell claimer to graded stakes winner resurrection project. I’m kicking myself for not being on board.
Race 9 -
Heatseeker won The Big Cap at a very generous mutual after another perfect Bejarano ride. Big Booster was nowhere at 33-1 but he was stab.
1st 10 HEATSEEKER (IRE) $16.00 $7.00 $4.80
Not a bad day? 3 winners, two double digit payoffs. Beat a 1-5 but was run down by the longest shot on the board.
