The horses in the 6th hit the wire in a blur,
as Antifreezette wins her very first superfecta ever!
Playing a great angle, Heather cashed a real nice ticket!
Watching the replay of Chantal Sutherland booting home the winner in the night cap!
I love my race track... and we're goin' back out there today.

Thanks! It was quite exciting. I used an angle that has worked for me in the past. I look at the conditions of the race and if there is a plus to Cal-breds, I look for the Cal-breds with the reasoning that those trainers are not going to let the plus go without a run. In the 6th, there was a plus of $17,400 to Cal-breds and there were three in the race. I boxed those three (4,5,9) with Jake's horse (10) and hoped for the best. And the best happened!!
