Saturday Stakes Preview

[Kasept]

Nice afternoon turned GREAT after Del Mar's feature.. The Papi Chullo DQ moved the San Diego H. score from exacta to super ($695) after Giacomo did exactly what we expected, ending the day with $497 in exacta and trifecta boxes from $274 in wagers (not including the DMR super)..

As usual with our approach, the key was nice-priced horses getting in the mix: Union Avenue a $49 winner and Chic Dancer at 8-1 at Arlington.. Spite the Devil at 9-1 in the Shipman.. Wonder Lady Anne L at the same number in the CCAO.. Even scratch top tab Tacit Agreement (6-1) got it done at Calder in the Umphrey.. .. Hope you had some of what turned into a very lucrative Saturday..
