questions and comments from yesterday, maybe I can learn something. I played 2 horses coming off vet scratches, both ran poorly. I know there is no one answer, but how big a negative factor is this?
Race 1... Desormeaux somehow finds himself 3 wide throughout breaking from the rail? Tough to predict that.

Race 4... rhetorical question, how many lengths would Sinkwich have won by if Castellano had gotten him loose at any point during the stretch?

Race 5... did anyone else think Laser got his nose up in the last step? I know it was close, but that dead heat cost me.

Race 6... this was wide open, winner was one of many at thoro-9 level, couldn't play at 4-1 odds.. brings me to my next question: I played the 2 who was bet dead on the board (14-1)
Decarlo then rode her like a conditioning excercise. How to tell difference between solid overlay and non-effort/word is out, this ain't the week?

Race 7... High Finance missing the break helped Kelly's Landing immensley, kept him from being hung wide.. something I wasn't sharp enough to anticipate.

Race 8... this one I caught, great ride from Prado on Classic Campaign to find room, made up for the rotten rides I got earlier, although Mott seemed a little annoyed, saying he would have won easier if he had been in the clear.

Race 9.. I agree with Scav, SNS wasn't being pushed to win this one.. Chatain was all out before the top of the stretch, Dominguez wanted to finish well, but wasn't looking to push too hard.

Race 10...the top 3 finishers were all underlays to me, I thought Hatch at the price and breaking from the 2 hole might get a trip... WRONG! I know Lycurgus was 100-1, but Tommy Turner gave him interesting trip, speed horse broke last, rushed up with 7 wide middle move, then took a choke hold before final turn, he did beat 1 horse.

Overall, it was a good day, thanks to catching a few at Aqueduct (thanks Outofthebox) and Classic Campaign.
