Girly,  

The third features Argentina dropping out of a GR 1 against My Typhoon into a NW2X. The only other possibility seems to be Wingspan. If you have TG sheets, you will note these two lay over the field.

The ninth is interesting in that the favorite The AG goes for an ice cold outfit.He is getting the hood(22% Trainer move) but he\'s no star and I\'ll take a shot with the 4 and 7(the six has a shot but I do not bet on Sciacca)

The 9th is a poor race overall.Good luck


Mike

Good strategy not betting on Gary Sciacca runners. He spends more time at the Carolina BBQ stand then he does in the barn. He\'s there in the AM before the races and most of the day during the races. The only time he\'s not at Carolina BBQ is when he has to saddle a horse.

Argentina has scratched, Wingspan will be a big chalk now in the 3rd.  

I think Flying Zee Stable might have a big day with #4 Pleasant Fiction in the 1st, #8 Fairytale Story in the 5th, and a bomb with #4 Panthera Tigre in the 6th.

In the 7th I think the 5 can pull a 7/2 upset on the chalk...last race was first in the U.S., came flying and got nipped a nose for the win even though she had to steady @ 5 1/2 furlongs, graded stakes performer in South Africa, change of Jock to Garrett Gomez, weight from the favorite...a lot of things to like at a square price...

Anybody have any thoughts..I\'m looking to make some Travers money in this race..

Nice call on Jazzy.  A square price @ 6-1. Broke a little slow, but Gomez really got her rolling down the stretch.  Thrilling finish....nice hit.

Lost,

Nice! far back, wide, and a typical ferocious finish by Gomez.

Thanks Everyone,
Definitely made travers money yesterday...Always a sad story attached though...I played the superfecta...5/1-6/1-6/all and 5/1-6/all/1-6.  I had fifteen dollars left in my pocket and I wanted to play 5/all/1-6/1-6 but I did not eat lunch yet and the bet would cost 12 bucks, can\'t buy lunch in NYC for 3 bucks so I said the 1 or 6 should be able to run second for me...needless to say it runs 5/8/6/1 and comes back over $4,000..That lunch cost me over 2 thousand...I almost threw it up after I saw the results...

Shoulda woulda coulda happens to me a lot too- The worst one was a six figure pick six. Thanks for your insights though, I\'m learning a lot!

Yeah, Life is full of possibilities, and I tossed that one because I thought it was just a crazy bet- a strange impulse that I should ignore. Hopefully I\'ve learned my lesson and will trust my intuition- like the song says, That\'s life! The sun still rises and sets and I\'m still fine-
