Coast-to-coastOnly one winner on top in fifteen races (Churchill, $6.20) -- but we had enough gimmicks to keep us in the mix. Plenty of close calls hurt though with our top pick running second five times. And three of ours were in the top four -- but not in the top three, meaning we missed tri's -- in four races.
