[Kasept]

Travers Week opener turned surprisingly difficult Wednesday as few managed to avoid a slaughter.. Barely kept head above water with 2nd race Tri offsetting 1st race blunder.. Centerport Baby (6th, 2nd @ 37-1) the key to keeping day from being an utter disaster as $111.00 exacta hit with Vinery entry chalk was a big help.. Hope you did OK..

DREADFUL maiden-laden card Thursday save for the fabulous Ballston Spa feature and Vitruvius ALW race in the 6th...
