3/13: Aqueduct (6th-9th)

[Kasept]

Was happy to take note of 20-1 ML Yes It's the Truth as contender Wednesday in Big A late P4 opener, but failed to take advantage of $23.40 win mutuel in any way.. $13.80 Karakorum Sunshine easily stayed on in the 7th anyway, and she was not on my radar screen. Scratch of Brown Eyed Belle had potential to affect the anticipated front end scrum, but I stuck with my initial opinion that Carolina Fuego would get a target and run them down. Late pair chalked out and yet the Pick 4 returned a stunning $2,373.00: 50% better than a sequence which offered a $1,560.00 parlay! That's why you want to keep swinging at them... Hope you did OK Wednesday.. Let's try the equally challenging Quad in NY again today.
