Tekari--not yet,still looking
Today was one of those days I'll chalk up to as a "regression to the mean" day. It is also a reminder that this is a tough and humbling game.Today with a little common sense I avoided getting my ass TOTALLY handed to me.

Horse went off at a nice 5-1 and led to the 3/4 pole then hit quicksand-- but at least I had a little hard on for about a minute and a half. Heres the chart line on this mutt-

YAFFA set the pace from just outside while pressed and tired.

Great--a four horse race in the mud after scratches. My pig was 8/5 and because of the surface switch from turh to mud bet small on the beak. It came second.

MAY GATOR settled near the inside early, moved four wide on the backstretch, advanced with the winner while outside that one on the far turn, stuck a head in front briefly between calls in the upper stretch, then couldn't match strides with DESERT GOLD late

This pig was totally ignored at the windows and that is a bad sign when betting these kinds of mules.I think the highest price I have seen is $17--this dog was going of at 11-1.A bad trip meant it had zero shot

Silver Pit: bumped, steadied, start, stalked forced pace off rail
