Hey Barry

Miff,

I believe it was a big bet.  I saw the same thing you did.  Before the Oaks went off FF was 4-1, IWR 5-1, Dunkirk 7-1 and POTN 8-1.  With GQ 14-1.

Final odds, FF drifted to 9-2, IWR to 6-1, Dunkirk to 9-1 and POTN to 10-1.  Somebody had to bet bet down and it looks like it was GQ.

Don\'t know about you, but I saved some money when Justwhistledixie scratched.  She wasn\'t going to beat the winner.  Unfortunately, since I couldn\'t skip the Oaks (that would require self control), I keyed the 2 under Rachel.  I thought JB made a good case for her to run well in the seminar.  She was absolutely awful though.  Bejarano gave her a ground saving trip, and she still didn\'t hold 3rd against the 8, even though Gomez was beating on the 8 with over a half mile to go and she was dead then......

Your day sounds familiar.

The winner of the 1st looked good on TG, if you could forgive the NM race.

The winner of the 2nd was the slowest horse in the race on TG and somehow went off pretty short.

Tough to like Warrior\'s Reward at 4-1, 3 points slower than others.

Smart Enough not holding even the exacta was bad in the 6th.

The Laragh race was tough to have.  Although, the Morning line threw me off.  At 6-5 ML, I thought Laragh was a bet against.  At 5-2, not so much.  The only thing Battaglia does worse than call a race is do the morning line...

Jim,

Only wish I could book GQ at 5-1. When Dixie scratched(heard she was not doing great after all incidentally)I just unloaded with RA in the oaks/woodford/derby pick 3.Have some bombs in the turf and derby that can still produce a decent score.Figured she was a free square esp after I saw her coming over from the barn,looked like Godzilla.

She ran a winning derby race for sure.Not sure the boys will \"out-fig\" her but they go an eighth more. Pouring rain according to a friend at CD as of 7:30-ish and the local weather guy says rain, rain, rain.Hope he\'s wrong.

Get them tomorrow!

Mike

Unbridled Belle will hopefull be bred in the morning to A. P. Indy.

She was in season today.

She put in a move down the backstretch, but it was very short lived.

She has never run any good on a wet track.

Rats!

She will be back to try the Delaware Oaks and Personal Ensign again.

I did the same thing Jimbo....thought that 2 sat a perfect trip....and waited and waited and waited for someone to show up second in the photo....Bejerano probably could have sat and waited until they turned to home to ask that horse to run, instead of the top of the final turn..
