1.”Candy Outline”may run fine
but “Greatest Notion”will bring Joy to this boy.
2.Go”Estrella Fugaz”yourself,I “Aim For The Cork”.
3.”Morcephus”does look tough and
“Stevethevandriver” may have enough to complete the exacta.
4.I am”Powered By Love”of the game-it is”Time To Rock”who looks like a lock.
If Chalks win there’s nada to brag about.
5.”Cast Your Net”and bet”Nonesuch Girl”to give Kelton a thrill.
6.Rabold likes to”Break The Chains”but I won’t sneeze at
“Long Legs Louise”who may be “Strollimginthewind”.
7.It looks like”Maggie is the Girl”here although
the”Sky Is Falling”may come a calling.
8.”Raise A Speights”just might and “That’s My Business” tonight.
As usual I get better as the night goes on
3 outa the last 4 and”Raise a Speights”$32.40 raises me to new heights,
I hope some Racing Biz fans have been able to profit.
Was going to go heavy on 1st time starter in CT #5th race, Gran Patrona. 45 Beyer probably wins this race, But I hate betting 3yr olds against older horses and really hate when jockey’s don’t take advantage of weight break.( Gran #5 pounds over) But at 8-1, I might take small flyer.
I don’t bet first time starters unless I have an inside tip.
But I do like those odds,Bill-good luck.
5.Well,Bill you saved money because of that overweight.
Well Bill,you saved a bundle because of that overweight,
I take that as a sign they are not trying to win. You cudda
talked me off my lil winner if I read you earlier.
