Friday - January 25
Seriously? How Many Times Can I Have The Lead And Lose?
Yes, the headlines says it all.....The day started in the second when the even money favorite, and my choice Kiowa cruised to the lead at the top of the lane.......
In the very next race I had Bin Elusive. He was the 8/5 favorite and looked to be long gone.... even in the slo-mo photo finish I thought I might have hung on.....no....caught again.
But I KNEW in he third I was home free....I mean after all, Todd Pletcher, John Velazquez, three-year-old first time starter, the 1-5 favorite......long gone, right? Guess again.....sigh...
I finished the day running 4th at 9/1, 3rd as the 3/5 favorite, and 5th at 5/2 after a slow start in the 9th. But then lo and behold, in the final race of the day, I actually crossed the wire first! YES! Stars Collide just missed in a maiden claiming event on the turf identical to today's finale. Johnny V got Stars Collide home at 2/1 and I salvaged a little pride cashing the lone winning ticket on the day.
