Today's Best Bets2-11. Winners in the 8th [$5.60] and 10th [$5.60]. Cold exacta in the 8th [$23.20/$2]. Playing around with the selections paid off in a few races...
In the 1st it was a B-C-D-A finish ["A" top pick, "B" second selection, and so on] for exacta [$12.40], tri [$30.60] and super [$66.50]. C-A exacta in the 2nd [$11.20]. C-A-B in the 3rd for the ex [$40.60] and tri [$139.50]. In the 10th A-C-D exacta [$21.40] and tri [$121.00].
Attendance was announced as 50,727 - but the amount of elbow-room certainly confirmed that the number was juiced-up substantially by 'spinners' on cap giveaway day. It was a pleasant afternoon. Mostly sunny and comfortable.
FIRST RACE
Shalanger... AE lister. Hope Rosario gets this one into the game sooner than he did for us yesterday on Sheppard's Angel Terrace. That one came like a freight train late - but too late.This one likes to make one run - but c'mon Joel, they can't make it all up in the final furlong!
Wayward Sailor...Ken Ramsey class-relief on the move from CD.
Quck Recovery... AE. On the improve.

Sunny Desert...Has improved since the brief layoff early this year.
Fiftyfour Forever...Speed and cuts back.
Easy Ending...More speed - and a lifetime best Beyer last time when she wired 'em at Philly.

THIRD RACE
Boston Proper...AE. Like Speightstown on top. Had a sib Sacred Realm that won its first two.
