Tuesday's Delaware efforts (results below) amounted to a lot of work to make $8... (It was much better if you laid off my lousy P4 try). Wednesday we return to Belmont for the start of the last fortnight of Big Sandy racing as the focus begins to shift to Saratoga in earnest.
The 3rd today on Hempsted Ave. features the return of Commentator, the brilliant but tender NY-bred gelded son of Distorted Humor who annexed the Whitney in 2005 for Tracy Farmer and Nick Zito. Away since his distant third to Saint Liam and stablemate Sir Shakleton in the Woodward, Commentator begins his 5yo campaign in the overnight Mugatea for state breds... (The under-rated Laurie LaFavers saddles #1 Bold Decision (6-1) here, and the red gelding is the horse that provides the most serious challenge to Commentator).

8: 1
9: 5-7-9-11
3x4x1x4 = $48
