Today's Best Bets1-13. Winner in the 9th [$6.90]. In the 10th a C-D-A finish for the exacta [$63.00/$2] and tri [$237.50]. Wow - Travers Day with its extended card is typically pretty good to us, but this was a wipeout. One of those that just prompts us to 'turn the page'. We'll take some solace in the fact that we checked some of the other public handicappers and no one that we saw had a particularly big day.
45,764 attended and it was yet another fabulous day weather-wise. Sunny and comfortable. The joint was rockin' and the crowd moved on to the post-race watering holes where the party continued into the evening and then the fun rolled into the late night/early morning as the revelers shifted their action downtown.
