Not only did I win for the day, AGAIN, but I cashed on my "BEST" of the Day! It's about time. For the day I also had three scratches and pulled in a longshot winner in a non-investment race.
Started off 4th, 2nd, 5th, and 6th before my first scratch in the 5th. In the 6th race I had #4 My Friend Rosasario. Not saying I would have bet on him had I been there, but I would have been tempted. Today's 6th was at 5 1/2 furlongs. My Friend Rossario was obviously running at his favorite distance as he was 10/3-1-1 at the distance. But what drew my attention was that he had not run this distance since last winter at Tampa - where he won at 28/1. Today he was 6/1 and won in a photo finish, flying at the end!
Not only had #1 She's Hot Hot won three in a row, but she'd done them all in front-running fashion.....and most importantly she found herself in a race where she was the LONE SPEED. I liked the fact that she'd won going away in all three victories, and I liked the fact that her Beyers were improving. The only question was the extra half furlong as today's race was at 6 1/2 furlongs....farther she'd ever been.
She was clear on an easy lead all the way into the stretch, and opened up by two lengths. But at the furlong pole you could tell she was running out of gas and the closers were picking up momentum. But it looked to me like she'd hold on, and she did!
With the win here, collecting $54, (I ran 3rd with a late running closer in the finale, a non-betting race) I was a profitable winner on the day!
