You have to watch today's running of the Four Star Dave handicap at Saratoga today. It was apparent from the opening of the gate that the jockeys were riding for second place behind Sidney's Candy. That horse was allowed to set fractions of 25, 50 and 114 without anyone coming close to challenging him. So we learned nothing about Sidney's Candy today since he was just having a public workout. If this was Hong Kong, the rest of the jockeys would be suspended for lack of trying to win.
I had a poor day with my win selections. However, one of my top choices paid $18.40 to place which I was happy to take. In other races, I identified long shots which were needed for exotics. I hope that people who read the newspaper realize that I am not necessarily trying to pick just winners but trying to identify live longshots.
As I said yesterday, I had four winners on top but was credited with only 2 in the paper. Sean Clancy promised to find out why.
