Seriously? Deja Vu of BC Ladies' Classic Day

I went to make my investments for the day, only to discover that three of my selections had scratched - including two I had a lot of confidence in.....

Then Lily's Hope breaks behind the field; makes a bid, but falters to fifth.....Come right back with Bim Bam who doesn't have the best of trips and......

Photo finish......2nd....sigh......  I watch one more online before heading out for the live racing; it's my longshot selection of the day:  Hear Yea Hear Yea.  Leaves the post at 11/1 and is stalking the leaders, makes a winning move on the turn, only to have my third choice (at 9/2) slip through on the rail and beat him....2nd AGAIN!

In the Distaff Mile Amazing sets an easy pace, opens up by a clear three lengths in deep stretch.  I'm filming with my FlipCam of my big win, when at the wire I see a flash of another horse....who's that???!!!!

It's so close you can hardly see my jockey and horse (note the red arrows) - PHOTO FINISH, again; and the result...I'm 2nd AGAIN!

Finally, my "BEST" of the Day!  Duke of Mischief is the 4/5 I was hoping for.  I can't believe Birdrun goes off at 6/5!

As you can see Duke of Mischief consistently runs triple Beyer speed figures and is a THREE-TIME graded stakes winner.  Birdrun has a single triple Beyer, but that was against allowance runners; his only attempt at a graded stakes was a dismal 5th beaten 12 lengths.

Duke of Mischief stalked Birdrun to the turn, moved to him effortlessly and took the lead.  Again I started filming with my FlipCam and as the winner pulls away I'm thinking I hit my "BEST" only to look up and see it is the #6 winning - Birdrun came back and put the Duke away....I ran 2nd...AGAIN!!!!!!
