3/28: Gulfstream (5th-10th); Santa Anita (5th-8th)
Rule Number Six, that Johnny D. noted had been outposted in three straight winter starts, finally had a cozy berth in the GP 7th Wednesday and parlayed it into a 17-1 upset that ignited the multis. With a virtual free square in $3.00 Big John B, the late P4 paid $1,128, nearly twice the parlay. Pumpidu, who came into the 8th off the best last race, went mildly ignored at over 6-1 and won easily paying a generous $14.40.
With the Florida Derby card the only remaining big day of racing at Gulfstream, be aware that the second tier operations and riders are getting their money with Wednesday finding Pedro Monterrey, Manny Aguilar and bugs Hugo Sanchez (2) and JJ Gonzalez in the winner's circle. At Aqueduct, I was blind without a cane as the first 3 legs of the late P4 went to horses I didn't consider. When Linda Rice first time starter Hay Shares took money, 9-2 from 8-1 ML, I knew I was a chicken in a pot. It got worse from there. Carryover of $18k at Aqueduct as a result of yesterday's tricky sequence, but I had looked at Santa Anita and Gulfstream already. Hope everyone did OK yesterday despite my showing New York. GULFSTREAM PARK POST-SCRATCHES 5th: MSW, F&M-3+, 1m-T/36' (P6, P3, DD) Watch the board to see if #9 Ardara (20-1) 2nd takes money.

GP 7th
Steve,
This is actually Baghdaria's 2nd foal. She dropped an AP Indy her first season that was crooked and never made it to the Racetrack. This spot for her intrigues me. 5/8th's on the grass seems like an interesting spot and the work tab didn't exactly inspire. Baghdaria was a really nice filly and CASA farms is a long time family friend so I've got a rooting interest today. Johnny V aboard doesn't hurt. Though the More than Ready in there looks tough.

This may be apocryphal, but it's like clockwork that when a Pletcher Cadillac -- in this case Hierro -- fails to move into a stake try off a big comeback effort, count on it to flop in ALW company.

Ardara not hanging on was very costly and may be even more costly depending on the result in race 7.
Either way, thanks for the great insight on that horse......you have caused me unwitting misery.
