Yesterday...

Close, but no cigar. We ran seoncd in the 1st which put the ki-bosh on our double. That probably would have added another $60 or so to the toal and made it an OK day. We picked up a little bit, but not enough to turn a profit on the day.

RACE 1/2... $2 double... R1/Baby League... R2/Irish Smoke/Spanish Coin/Pletcher entry.
Ran... R1/2nd at 9-2... R1/Won [5-2]-3-7.

RACE TWO... $3 WP on Irish Smoke.
Collected $17.55 on the WP [7.40, 4.30].

RACE SEVEN...$2 exacta box... Cosmic Kris/Dynagilder/Buckeye Wonder.
Ran 4-6-9.

Loss for the day... $6.45

If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halve are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
