2/16: Aqueduct (4th-9th)

[Kasept]

Tough card as suggested but simply an awful job by me at Santa Anita Thursday. Carryover resulted, and today's sextet there is challenging but a bit more negotiable. Those tabs up seperately, but Wednesday's AQU races were transposed to today, and the capping had been done..
