Just could not resist plunging on a few Thursday despite obviously goofy card, but missed the best opportunity of the day with 25-1 Sleek John, who was high on my radar screen, winning the 3rd race ($53.00). (Truth be told, I was "busy" making shrimp salad for Sciacca as race went off...). Dropped $60 on the day.
Much better action available on 2nd twilight racing card Friday leading into what should be a terrific closing weekend... Was hoping for a double carryover into this afternoon, but despite glut of juvy sprints, "6" was hit and brought back $200,000 Thursday.
