Thanks. Had great time there yesterday. We departed after Jackpot so we missed rain.

Yes, D'cajun Cat with G-Money (Gerald Melancon) aboard was nice P3 kickoff. As betting card, it was less than stellar one. Racing was super! Most winners stalked to backstretch, started move in mid-backstretch, and struck in or exiting final turn.

Ocho Ocho Ocho and Mr. Z were clearly best in Jackpot. Take Charge Brandi proved that BC Juv Fillies wasn't fluke. Very impressive how she repelled Vivian Da Bling and controlled entire race. Yahilwa won Treasure Chest with sweeping move from 3 lengths behind to over 2 lengths clear in 660 ft stretch. Sunbean, the hometown hero, didn't disappoint his local following. Too bad scratches may derail Delta Mile getting Grade 3 next season.

Take Charge Brandi and Ocho Ocho Ocho should mature and run well as 3YOs. Already looking forward to 2015 return to Vinton.
