Ok, we start the weekend up 477 units. The Smile Sprint at Calder looks like a Breeders' Cup Sprint line up. We located a few value plays, so lets get to it.

Calder Race Course - Race 11 - Smile Sprint G2
#3 Kelly's Landing - Better post then last time, when he got caught five wide and still managed to finish 2nd to Foggy.
#7 Friendly Island - Pletcher has him in very good form.
#8 Gold Storm - Speed demon made nice return for Casio.
#5 Weigelia - Turf to Dirt and training lights out.
#10 Lost in the Fog - Ultimate pro knows what it takes. Didn't care for the big field in last year's BC Sprint.
#6 Nightmare Affair - Loves CRC surface and distance.

The Play - 3 units Exacta Box - 3 with 5 6 7 8 10 = 30 units

Colonial Downs - Race 8 - Virginia Derby G2
#2 Go Between - A closing 3rd in the prep race (CNL Turf) where he found himself 17 lengths off the pace after being 6 wide going into the 1st turn because he started in post position 13. He weaved through traffic nicely and the extra ground will only help his cause. Gets it done with a better trip.
#7 Proudinsky (Ger) - Auspicious start to his US career where he darted to the rail to miss by a nose in the Arlington Classic G3.
#3 Spider Power (Ire) - Super consistent for McLaughlin.
#11 Roman Dynasty - His turf debut in the CNL Turf was better than it looks on paper.

The Play - 50 units to win on #2 GO BETWEEN (BEST BET)

Also, 5 units Exacta Box - 2 with 3 7 11 = 30 units

Churchill Downs - Race 8 - Late PK 4
Race 8
#10 Constitution River - Ask to move a bit to quick last time where he failed as the fav. Cuts back and should enjoy a nice trip
Race 9
1a 2 3 4 7
Race 10
#8 Rich in Spirit - Ran into a buzz saw last time in the Mint Julep G3 where My Typhoon was clearly the best. My Typhoon is up at Saratoga on vacation until they start there meet. I expect a huge effort versus these.
Race 11
2 5 8 12

The Play - Late PK 4 - 10 with 1 2 3 4 7 with 8 with 2 5 8 12 = 20 units

Churchill Downs - Race 10 - Locust Grove G3

#8 Rich in Spirit - see above.
#3 Sweet Science - The cutback should produce a nice effort. Faced some nice fillies this year.
#7 Dynamist - A slight improvement makes her a serious contender. Nicks wins at a 25% clip with turfers

The Play - 10 units Exacta Box - 8 with 3 7 = 40 units

Arlington Park - Race 8 -Round Table 150K

#7 High Blues - Won over the AP surface last out at the same 1 1/8 distance. Faced much better during the winter at Gulfstream Park (Corinthian, Jazil, Sunriver) and was competitive.

The play - 20 units to win

Ohio Derby

#6 High Cotton - Showed he could sit off the pace in his last.
#2 Flashy Bull - Picks up local jock.

The play - 10 Cold Exacta 6 2

The total amount played for SAT equals 200 units. Leaves the account at plus 277

Good Racing Luck

After all the smoke cleared at the end of the day we found ourselves up 15 units. GO BETWEEN our BEST BET came through in the Virginia Derby and paid $8.60 to win. There was some other close calls, but this is not horseshoes it's horse racing. The account currently stands at plus 492 units after SAT's racing.
