My play for Race 7 came down to Joel Rosario, one of the hottest jockeys on the planet right now, especially on the turf.

The more I studied the PPs, the less I liked any horse. Jockeys and trainers enter in to my race analysis but usually take on a very minor role depending on the conditions.

Sure woulda liked it to be real money, it woulda put a much bigger smile on my face. And who doesn't love Chad Brown but h had nothing to do with Race 7, unless Howard Brown is related?

I must have gotten that race confused with another one. I noticed in one race that Rosario won that he was riding for Chad and that he was 3 for 3 for Chad. I thought that it was that race that you won, but must not have been. Whatever, I admire you exacta players and often I'm tempted to play exactas, but must admit that I don't do that Texas Holdem style of play well where you go "all in" on one horse over three or four others. Doesn't make sense that a person could play Tris better than exactas, but I seem to do just that. I guess you have to play to whatever your strength seems to be.
