Am I crazy for thinking Upperline is going to run huge and have a shot in the Beverly D? I know stidham said before the modesty was a prep going in, or is she just a cut below these?

I probably complain about this too much, but how idiotic is the positioning of these races? Rather than put the Secretariat in the pk4, we get a $7500 claimer to close out the sequence. Nothing like going from a $1 million race to a $12,000 race.

You do have a $100k guar p5 with 15% takeout from R7 to 11

True. . . I'd just rather have both options. And I'd rather have the three main races in a row for a pk3.

Its because of the Hi5. They were hoping for a huge carryover but the DQ in yesterdays race caused it to be hit. There should be a nice p6 and p9 carryover tomorrow though. Card looks tough today
