10/1: BEL (2nd-9th); OSA ($87k C/O)

[Kasept]

Racing was as good as anticipated Wednesday, but it didn't exactly offset the chalkfest at Belmont which was followed by excruciating big odds 2nd place finishes at Oak Tree. The Santa Anita season started out for me with a head bob photo beat of 16-1 Royal F J (Best Value 2nd choice) in the 6th, and a neck loss by 30-1 Best Value top tab Double Dip in the 7th. Brutal... The upside was the $16.40/$8.20 and $21.60/$10.60 PL-SH prices respectively if you bet either ATB. (I hope some of you did, because I needed wins to cash...)

After fave California Flag won the Gr. III Morvich, a bonus mutuel finally got up at Arcadia, and what a bonus mutuel it was: 78-1 Spartan Jet. The $157 winner tripped a $15,700 P4 ($1), $37,600 P6 conso and $47,900 P5 payout, as well as Thursday's $32,600 Super High 5 and $87k P6 carryovers. Will not get to Santa Anita selections until later today, but I did look at Belmont from early on Thursday. Hope you did well yesterday!
