SUN - KEE, Haw & SA (Closing Day) PK4
 

Saturday night racing from Charles Town was worth waiting for as I was able to catch the all stakes Pick 4 for $184.90 after striking out after the 2nd leg of the Keeneland Pick 4 earlier in the day. Exhi took advantage of the surface which has been kind to front runners and scored a victory in the G2 Lexington for Pletcher.

The late Pick 4 at Keeneland and Hawthorne caught my attention along with closing day at Santa Anita. The popular All Turf Pick 4 at Gulfstream is in serious jeopardy of staying on the grass due to weather, so I decide to pass.

Good Racing Luck

By the way, your HAW pick 4 is $60. Good luck!

Saw Tim Thornton go down in the 6th, hope he's OK.

The jock on the 1 should get days for that. Absolutely irresponsible riding on his part. To say I was pizzed was an understatement!

Thanks Ronnie

That was total BS. Talk about being sawed off, Diego Sanchez should receive a serious suspension for the incident. I heard that Thornton is OK.

You have got to be kidding me. Deja Vu all over again with Diego Sanchez's mount #6 in front of Thornton's mount #1A down the stretch in the finale (Race 9) and this time he doesn't saw him off. Thornton has got some serious cojones (That's why Chuck uses him). For those that didn't watch Race 6 and Race 9, please do yourself a favor and go to Hawthorneracecourse.com and watch the two replays. In Race 6, Sanchez is on the 1 and Thornton is on the 3. Both races were on the turf. WOW
