Saturday 6/16 Spot Plays

[griswold]

YTD: -$67.50 (based on $10 to win and place on each selection)

I went two-for-three last week to continue my comeback.
So far...
32 plays
13 wins
3 seconds
2 thirds
14 off board

There are a lot of great races today but I have no strong opinions on any of them except one.

Delaware Park Race 6 Obeah Stakes Play #14 Unbridled Belle
While the post position is difficult, there's a long run to the first turn in this 1 1/8 mile race and there may be a few scratches. My horse is a Pletcher trainee making her first start of the year after running so-so in several Grade I races last year. She could be one of the top older fillies in the country this year and was given a lot of time off after her tough campaign last year. Pletcher is deadly off long layoffs. This horse was two-for-two last year at Delaware. Jose Velez is coming in to ride---a positive sign that Pletcher could convince a jockey to ship in on a day with so many big races at different tracks. We could get 7-2 or 4-1 because of the big field.


Opinion Only:

#7 Flashy Bull in the Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs (Race 10)

#7 Flashy Bull in the Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs (Race 10)

nice capping gris !!

Unbridled Belle finished second, paying 5.00 to place. Flashy Bull did win the Foster at 6-1, but since I only posted it as an opinion it won't copunt in my record.

Profit on $5 on the day based on $10 to win and place as I keep slowly gnawing into my loss after a very slow start earlier in ther year.
