Good Luck today Mel. you had one more winner than I did at CLN yesterday! I'm done with that track. Seems the horses run a lot different there?

 

[Melniko]

Thanks, Hoss. I noticed yesterday you had to be near the pace to have a shot - which is not something I'm used to there. Also, I always remember it being a track where the longer shots would do well. Yesterday, being the big stakes day, was kind of an aberration. I don't know, maybe the slick trainers are using the final few racing days to pick up some purses. Not good for me as I'm on the outside when it comes to inside info..

I certainly have no inside info either so I'm passing on this track.
