1/17: Santa Anita (Carryover)

[Kasept]

Would have been especially difficult to hit P6/P4 at Big A Thursday considering that I missed draw-in of 9th race winner Mount Weather, but by that time the damage had been done anyway.. Two horse 5th race went the 'other' way as I Promise restored her juvy luster over Jet Setting, and Gullo got untracked with Avagadro topping the bad group of Empire maiden taggers in the 6th. The other three races in the sextet went well though as a trio of triples ($95; $35; $46) and availability of pair of P3's ($53; $55) kept the day's missteps to an acceptible minimum.

Action turns westward Thursday with fun P6 carry skien at Santa Anita..
