Hi SoCalMan2,
The race itself, workouts and breeding.
With low-level maidens, I was looking for 1st timers to bet.
Both Top Leese and Garmir (the main pick) had worked well for this.
Sires Old Topper and Swiss Yodeler have been successful on poly per
my informal tracking of results. (Swiss Yodeler, especially, last
winter with the Mike Harrington connection was spectacular.)
