Star over Malibu @ 12/1 carrying light weight, 3rd off light layoff...good to go, good luck to all.

TGAB: Good hit.

nyc1347: hey shan!  i couldnt handicap today cause i was all over the place and actually took your opinion on this race! LOL!   i owe you a steak dinner if we ever meet!  I didnt swing for the fences..just played a modest $400 to show on him and got back just over a thousand!  I looked at the entries real quick and I kno that Contessa has been real live with some nice horses lately especially that Maiden a week ago so I said to myself \"Hey why not?!\"   whats the worst? i had a 3 out of 8 chance on a 12-1 ML and expected 2 to 3 times the money back...plus im up great this week.

Whats up with Cody Autrey btw?   He seems to have lost his touch slightly... I remember him being such a tremendous trainer... something just seems off lately with his horses.. i dunno maybe its just me

Michael D.: Well done Shanahan. Always nice to see a post on a $20 horse.
