Kapuna had the entire stretch to run that horse down and couldn\'t.

Didn\'t play the 1 and it cost me the ex and tri

Cogburn a nice winner, ended up on him at 8/1 and also added the #6 longshot given out in the analysis for a nice exacta

Ex pays $469 for a deuce I\'ll take it

What an absolutely brutal beat

Didn\'t have time to write it up, I\'ve been in a Telegram channel all day.

but that 10 was a nice price, win ticket and wheeled exacta

I thought the forward move off the 1.5 showed he could handle that jump up.
Beautiful pattern for an improving 4yo

He broke well and got a dream trip.  After several near misses today, a nice one.

He and Cogburn have kept me above water

My P3 has 1-5-6 in this next race

The 1 is a very square price in here at 8/1
