Was a good day Sunday with some exotic scores and P3 hits widely available and giving the Belmont one-day carryover a real go (4 of 6). The unfortunate part of the $240 play was that pushing the all button in the Vagrancy caught Lansdon Robbins' Looky Yonder ($21.60), which was the horse that tripped Monday's double carryover.
Sixth race single Heather's Angel was 4th and never challenged, and in the meantime, 'Best Value' 2nd choice Lost Without You was ridden brilliantly by Channing Hill to score at nearly $30. 8th race single Can't Refuse was second to my 'Next Best' third choice Russian Sage, but combined with 'Exotics Add' Posted, keyed a $520 trifecta ($1) that covered all of the day's plays and then some. The nightcap superfecta hit with the easy top three and 37-1 'Exotics Add' Dance Lesson returned $386.50.
NOTE: Met Mile Day double carryover P6 looks impossible... as I found this sextet very hard to read with few serious opinions fulminating as I handicapped. Hope that scratches help, or I may stick to P3's and the late P4...
Remember those that served...
