| 5. Golden Asset | Will need to step up in first in claiming ranks |
| 1. Greatest Notion | Morning line fave just missed in last versus similar |

| 7. Charitable Windsor | Speed figs entice but has had several tries at level |
| 5. Estrella Fugaz | Arrives on 2-race win streak |
RACE 3
| 2. Mocephus | Has faced better; trainer Serey has positive ROI off similar layoffs |
| 4. Primal Destiny | Can improve in third off the bench |
| 6. I See the Stars | Draws well for stalk-and-pounce trip |
RACE 4

| 5. Sarah’s Candy Camp | Ran ’em off their feet in last; making short work of conditions |
| 1. Powered by Love | Makes third start off a bit of a freshening |
RACE 5
| 7. Cast Your Net | Hoping return to fast track does the trick; better efforts win here |

| 7. Grumpy’s Buddy | Blinkers off in second in Farrior barn |
| 4. Greatandgood | Never worse than third in seven outings |
RACE 7 – Original Gold Stakes
| 8. Maggie’s Girl | Not far from a perfect record to date and drawn well outside of other speed; got nice freshener in easy one-turn win two weeks back |
| 3. Change the World | Higher-priced Runco makes first start of season; took big step forward in second half of ’23 |
| 7. The Sky Is Falling | Four-time stakes winner looks to get back to best form |
RACE 8
| 2. Superstitieux | In field full of inconsistent sorts, favorite arrives with three straight solid efforts |
| 8. Spritzer | Return to claiming company should aid the cause |

13th Apr 2024Was going to go heavy on 1st time starter in CT #5th race, Gran Patrona. 45 Beyer probably wins this race, But I hate betting 3yr olds against older horses and really hate when jockey’s don’t take advantage of weight break.( Gran #5 pounds over) But at 8-1, I might take small flyer.

13th Apr 2024I don’t bet first time starters unless I have an inside tip.
But I do like those odds,Bill-good luck.

13th Apr 20245.Well,Bill you saved money because of that overweight.
rick be
13th Apr 2024Well Bill,you saved a bundle because of that overweight,
I take that as a sign they are not trying to win. You cudda
talked me off my lil winner if I read you earlier.
