Today's Best Bets2-10. Winners in the 5th [$2.90] and 7th [7.90]. Amazing value in the cold exacta in the 5th - our "A" horse, the Pletcher winner, was a chalky 2-5, but our "B" horse ran second as the 25-1 rank outsider and completed a juicy $42/60/$2 exacta. We also had a reverse B-A exacta in the 10th [$32.00]. Others gimmicks with the picks: R1 BCA x 92.00 t 278.00; R2 CADB x 10.40 t 49.60 s 108.00; R4 DBC x 26.80 t 81.00.
12818 attended - and what a difference a day or two makes... Temps shifted from the oven-like weekend of heat and humidity to a more late-summer early-fall situation, with a chilly morning and a comfortable afternoon.
Family Friday: Friday marks the meet's second Family Friday – an attraction that will stretch the length of the 2013 season. The family festivals will be held each Friday from noon to 4 p.m. in the Event Tent, located inside the entrance to the Reserved Seats Office near the Carousel. Family Fridays features a variety of free family-friendly activities for all ages, including a bounce inflatable and the Tiny Tots Tea Room arts and crafts table. This week's featured activity is the educational and explorative Leaping Lizards and Rocking Reptiles exhibit from The Children's Museum of Science and Technology. Kids will have a chance to meet the cold-blooded creatures, while learning about their behaviors, habitats and lifestyles.
