Good luck!
Steve

This is the 1st Far Hills meet where wagering will be allowed. Being from NJ, I was thinking of heading up there to check it out, but maybe another year.

Anyway, thanks Steve and good luck. I guess I’m not the only one who thinks Strive for a Cure could run a big race today? I like those ML odds.

I love Cartwheelin Lulu but Elegant Zip at 8-1? Great odds there.

EZ bet down to 9/2 in the last minute. Runs a solid second to Surge of Pride. Good call there Steve! She went off 15-1!
