12/29: Gulfstream ($77 P5 C/O); Santa Anita ($148k P6 C/O)

[Kasept]

Chalkout at Aqueduct Wednesday resulted in $50 loss on successful P4 play. Sequence had potential to go in much more lucrative direction however with near miss by 8-1 Swinging at Siro's in duel with Perfect Drive in the 6th. Plus, though I didn't use 35-1 runner-up Take Down Two in the 7th, there was a real possibility for him to win or get moved up had Coosada been DQ'd. So despite the $19 payoff in the quad, you can easily see how quickly the worm can turn in multi-race skiens. P6 at Santa Anita has fat $148k carry to start and Gulfstream features a $77k C/O in their P5..

8th: CLM/N2L, F&M-3+, 8.5f-T (P4, P3, DD, Super)

Hogde-podge of mediocrity. Looking for positive rider switches and key class relief players at a price. #15 Cass Lady would be a threat if able to draw in.

9th: MSW, 2yo, 1m-T (P3, DD, Super)

Interesting group of 2yo's on lawn including Colonel John/Mr. Hot Stuff full brother Bill of Rights who receives T2D & Blinkers On makeover. Don't think they would be going green if he were any kind of colt. Silverton/Darren Miller bring Euro import in for 1st N.A. bid exiting what looks like it might have been nice company in Ireland. Pletcher/Starlight move Bridge Loan -- Empire Maker out of MSW Giant's Causeway mare -- to appropriate surface. Mott introduces Kinsman homebred by English Channel and you wouldn't think they'd name him Yankee Boss (after late farm patriarch) if he were a bum..

NOTE: #10 Bridge Loan has SCR'd; #16 Awesome Lady (4-1) surprisingly gets in and has a big chance with any kind of trip..
