Some insights into tonight’s racing program (and pay those taxes).
1ST RACE – (6) TWIN B IMPRESSIVE did get eight-hole support in latest, though did not reach. Second try as bottom feeder and in couple of doors, so gazed.
3RD RACE – (5) NATIONAL SEELSTER used to whip these from memory. Returns to smaller oval, where he had much of his success, nod to dispose of these.
5TH RACE – (3) BLUEBIRD JESSE was victim of serious road impediment at odds-on week ago after upsetting in series opener. Has to get cleaner trip tonite.
7TH RACE – (7) CHAPTER TOO needed a passing lane in first leg of series, then made quick lead last week before breaking. Surmise square mutuel from here.
8TH RACE – (1) PATTON tried rare leave week ago, getting caught wide for his troubles. Sort of have to try him—again—having won draw in loaded division.
10TH RACE – (3) ONEISALONELYNUMBER was four-eyeballed when he hit town in last, not getting involved. Much better venue and fresh hands, we stay.
