Gamine ran out of gas in the stretch, but I never considered the longshot winner so just made a bad bet on the Oaks. It happens. A lot.
I had the right philosophy but the wrong horse. I threw out Gamine and exacta boxed Swiss Skydiver and the 3rd and 5th choices. Turns out I should have used the 4th choice.

I was on Swiss. No clue why he shifted outside rather than taking the rail when gammine drifted.

She Dares The Devil was good to me yesterday, Race 4 will roll with Devils Tower. Maybe the Devil is in me. 10-1.

$5 across the board.

Have basically struck out today, but have several LS over 17 in Derby plus a 100 WP bet on Tiz the Law. Favorites have been crap today, they cannot lose them all . . . maybe.

Still a great battle down the stretch between Authentic and Tiz. Needed Storm to hold position! Argh

Had $20 on 18 to win. Had a super 18,17,16,9. Damn. Had a bunch of losers too. Ended up $240 up for the day. If Sarenghetti Empress had won I would be one happy man.

I am not sure Gamine ran out of gas. If you watch the final furlong it looks like she took a bad step and lost all of her momentum. Maybe it happened because she got tired but she definitely took a bad step with about a furling to go.

Authentic ran the perfect race. The only race this horse has lost he had a terrible start almost tripping out of the gate.

Well the whole 3 year old class has been watered down the whole season pretty much. He's beaten the horses he's supposed too and outside of Authentic (who can't get the distance) and Honor AP there really won't be anybody in this field that can beat him either.
Except Authentic won't get the distance, and Honor AP doesn't have the tactical speed Tiz does. Remember we would call the SEC Tournament the UKIT or Kentucky Invitational? Well it's the Tiz the Law invitational on Saturday.
AUTHENTIC ....he'll be there.

On the money, I didn't think that horse could get there. He's actually the 1st Into Mischief to run 10 furlongs and win.
