Well main selection scratched out of the ROTW, but secondary pick won at $18 - \"Conquest Panthera at 10-1 or so is usable in exotics.\" I guess that\'s why they picked the race.

All post time favorites who are switching surfaces for the first time will win at my expense.

The 7f filly just completed a $155 exacta in the Alabama. That\'s why I picked that race.

Good Luck,

Obviously didn\'t need my help. Could have parlayed though. Nice hit.

Reflecting on Richiebee\'s insight of yesterday\'s Alabama I am reminded he is more than an entertaining writer and poster of interesting subject matter. IMO Richie found the essence of this race.

Richie knows horse racing IMO. I just hope you were able to convert your insight into a winning ticket or two.

Thanks, In the end your thoughts saved me money.
