Coast-to-coastAlso picked up a decent smattering of gimmicks with the tri's in the Fleur de Lis and Round Table, the nice exacta in the Regret highlighting the action. Plus our top four combined for superfectas in two races at decent prices.
A fun day.
Hey, a decent 10% ROI -- but it could have been much, much better! Zanjero passed Chelokee at the top of the lane and looked like a sure thing when Chelokee pulled a Curlin and came back to nip us late. And that exacta box looked pretty good at the top of the stretch as Quite a Bride pulled away for the win spot with Danzon having the length of the stretch to get up for second -- but she just couldn't pull the trigger. A couple of breaks and it could have been a humdinger. Still, a win is a win...
Churchill, Race 5, Cool Hero... 11th at 15-1.
Churchill, Race 7, Zanjero... 2nd at 4-1 [xxx, 4.00, 2.60].

Churchill, Race 11, Good Mood... WON [11.00, 5.40, 3.80].
Colonial, Race 10, Adagio... Scratched.
