Yeah, Storm Treasure was my closer, had $2 across the board on him; now I wish I had guts and had made it $5.

I always have regrets on a day like today and yesterday

Am I the only one sceptical of the time, they did 6 furlongs in 1:05 and change and the 1st 1/4 was in the 20's.

?

it can happen on that course

Maybe 1:11.60 is not hard to fathom, the internal fractions are. I think that is why DRF has not posted them yet in their results page. However when the race was being run, it was hard not to notice it may have been off.

21 is not unusual on that course

Other than in the mile, horses are having trouble getting home on this course. Luckily (thank you LUTE) the race didn't cost me. I do think the horse was aided by a course that is favoring raters (probably because they want the Euros back next year.) You will never see Funky tire that way late down the hill again. This is not the normal turf course we have here. It's been manipulated for this week.
