I am sure that studying all this breeding information has improved my handicapping.
Yesterday in the Empire 6, I took a stand against the Runhappy first time starter and played instead an Upstart first time starter. I knew from watching the trainings sales that the Upstart’s had been running, and so far the Runhappy’s have been very disappointing.
All I missed in the Empire that paid $48,000 was the Bill Mott horse in the Sword Dancer. I was three deep, and an extra horse would have cost $18.
I had singled the great Amira Chichakly, who has done a reasonable job after taking over for Gary Contessa.

If we would have been clever, we could have got this. I knew Channel Maker liked the wet turf and that no one was making up ground on the Turf that day, but could not get over how “off form” the horse had been lately. Clearly, a mistake based on the rest of your handicapping.
