Race 8 : In the eighth race, I liked Archer Hill going to the front and try to control the action rather than stalking and getting buried inside. Amazing that the projected front runner there, Analysis, won from off the pace (Lanerie).

Race 9 : As for the ninth race, I will never, ever, ever play the constantly hanging Ballerina Belle in any situation where it requires her to seal the deal by passing a front runner in the stretch. Second in six of nine starts now, that was a terrible hang job against a 44 and change front running Richies Sweetheart who was shortening stride.

Ballerina Belle had absolutely zero excuse for not running that horse down, zero. Painful.

Agreed. Let's just say it was a costly runner-up finish here for yours truly. Lesson learned on that one - she always looks great and needs a change in running style and equipment.
