The Enchanted Shower
Today was Brad & Lauren's big shower, themed to Snow White. We had about 25 people here and it all turned out great.....big-time props to my wife Kim for all her hard work to create the event; and to her sisters in particular who helped set it all up. Click here to see web site I posted with the photos......watch Kim's toast - very special.
Early in the day I checked out the online handicapping videos and entries and found four races that I liked enough to invest in. The first two were stakes races at Aqueduct on the turf. Dave Liftin's "Best" was in the 5th, but May Shares was a non-threatening 4th as the 9/5 favorite. In the Grade 3 Red Smith I went with one of my favorite runners, Hyper. But he was too far back I thought and finished a poor 8th as the 3/2 favorite. My last two selections were both at Hollywood Park. The first was in the 6th, a first-time starter for Bob Baffert, but he scratched. The final selection of the day was with Golden Production in the 8th race. It was a six furlong turf sprint and he left the gate as the even-money favorite. He stalked the pace to the turn, cruised to the lead and drew off as you please. Much the best. The double investment got back most of my money on the day and netted me a 33% win average for the day. All things considered I'll take it.
One last weekend to the fall meeting before the Gulfstream winter season begins. I got my "Gulfstream Handicapper" in the mail on Friday and have started to prepare for the busy winter season!
