FYI - AQU 4th and 9th are off the Turf. Good luck!

Thanks, PM - I updated the 9th @ the Big A.

Bogey, are you going to Throne? I might be going to the sale tonight, or I might be going early if I hit something early on Youbet to give me a role to play with, let me know

I'll PM you.

Derby Trial - U D Ghetto busted the Tri

Hawthrone R6 - Wiggins looked awesome. Scored the exacta $102 to save some face.

Total for the day - Play $154 - Won $102 = -$52 for the day.

Looking forward to next weekend

Good Racing Luck

Me Too
 

Thanks for your picks! The exacta really helped!

Wiggins did look awesome, but it seems like he always does that at Hawthorne. Just wish he would win a big stakes race somewhere like NY or KY

Gaines, I'm glad you were able to catch the Exacta

Scav, I totally agree and think this might be the year. What a nice looking animal in person.

DERBY WEEK

It seemed like that exacta paid quite well given how Wiggins towered over the field and how Air Academy had historically run more than well enough to finish second, huh?

I was surprised by the price on that one.

Brian, Yep, I was expecting the exacta to pay in the $12 range. I was actually near the wire and had my reservations about Air Academy getting the place. After watching the replay, he clearly got the nod on the rail. I love to wager from home, but nothing beats a day at the track.

Air Academy had a great run last year (I think it was last year, w/o referencing the PPs again) and was bound to get back into form.

Anyway, a really nice score for you at what I would consider (not everyone else apparently!) a GREAT price for those two horses. Glad it bailed you out for most of your day :D
