Taconic Zip makes her second start in Race 7 a Mdn Clm for 3YO fillies going 5 1/2 F. This is the same condition as her debut race where she finished 4th. She should be a little more fit this race and we have Joe Stokes up to ride. Wish our girl some luck as it would be nice to improve into the top three tonight. The race looks fairly contentious with the 3 5 and 8 horses the main contenders. Hopefully the 3 and 5 both bounce off very quick turnarounds and the outside horse has gone off form. Taconic Zip should move forward a little bit..... Paul

Good luck. I hope she tries hard for you and comes back sound.

I'm going to single the 4 in the opener since it's 5 furlongs and this horse should be able to open enough daylight in this field not to get caught.In the 2nd i REFUSE to use the 4.Despite Paula Bacon claiming this horse and giving it some time off the horse was bad last time.I'm using the 3,6 and 7.The early double 4/3,6,7 and a little extra 4/3.Good luck.

That was truly one of life's disappointments. Word was that she got sandblasted and being the first time ever that she got dirt in her face she reacted by losing 15 lengths by stopping. She did gain a little momentum in the stretch but by then it was way too lates. Major disappointment. Sorry, all. Back to the drawing board. Might have to drop to 5,000 Mdn Clm.
