Viva Las Vegas
Filed Under Uncategorized
I flew to Vegas after the races for Saturday’s Horseplayers Expo at the Wynn. It’s my first time being invited, so I’m not too sure what to expect. All I know is the panel I’m participating on (“Interpreting Workouts”) runs from 1:30-2:30, right in the heart of the Big Cap card.
Sensory Overload Saturday with an 11-race card from Santa Anita, including major stakes races like the Robert B. Lewis and Kilroe Mile to go along with the Big Cap. And 11 from Gulfstream, including the Hutcheson and Fountain of Youth for 3-year-olds. Throw in the Magna 5 and there’s something for everyone.
Two winners each for Victor Espinoza (just nine behind Gomez) and Brice Blanc, including the pick up mount on 8th race winner PAPAGO ROAD. Aaron Gryder is one win away from the 3,000 plateau.
Bob Baffert nailed down the late double, giving him 22 winners for the meet, just three behind Doug O’Neill.
MR. SEKIGUCHI, Baffert’s $8 million dollar horse, got his second career victory today. He won gamely but still has a long way to go to earn back that purchase price.
I hit two more trifectas today (it’s been some streak going back to Sunday…see for yourself by checking out the Free Samples at bottom of each day’s Blog posting). Had 5th race tri three times (due to dead-heat for third), returning $508 on a $54 investment, and came back with 7th race tri for $158Â ($60 play).
Early first post of 12 noon…here’s to a profitable Big Cap Day.
