The RotW (Churchill version) was a relative bust, but I thought the figs held up very well on Saturday at Churchill. In race four, the first-time turf Howard horse was as fast as the even money favorite and certainly a great play at 5-to-1 in a field of six.

The key of the day though was race six. The figs led me to a personal best exacta of $218.40 (for a buck) with good money on the winner\'s nose.

I just started using the digs more seriously in early August and felt these two races really clicked for me.

fillway56: Any feelings on this Saturday?

Rick B.: The Churchill stakes races are skanks this Saturday.

It would be interesting to see TG take a shot at the Tapeta in the near future.

Golden Gate\'s 8th race Saturday is 9 furlong G3 with 10 scheduled to go, with Buzzards Bay and McCann\'s Mojave entered.

EJXD2: I\'m about to download the races now... my first run through the Form has me interested in a couple races, so I\'m anxious to see how the figs shake out.
