Thursday was not a winning day. Race 1 play Rockin Ronbo was not good enough to win the $25,000 maiden-claimer, but if trainer Jeff Mullins runs him for $20,000 at Fairplex Park, he should be competitive. He was surrounded by traffic throughout, and then gave nothing in the lane. Race 6 play Dew Drop would not have won (Yodeladytoo got loose and never slowed down), but Dew Drop never had a chance. She broke slow, steadied on the turn, and was given zero encouragement through the lane by inconsistent apprentice Martin Garcia. All in all, it was a $50 loss. That is hardly news. On to Friday. Races 6 & 7 The turf rails are being moved back to a seven-foot setting Friday, and over a narrow course, early speed and inside posts are paramount in turf sprints. It means that 3-1 program favorite Billy's Echo, who must rally from behind, is compromised from post 6. The top contenders are Weekend Tiger (4-1) and Solid Fuel (7-2). The play will be daily doubles keying that pair to Behaving Badly, the favorite in the Grade 3 Rancho Bernardo Handicap, with a backup daily double to Somethinaboutlaura (5-1). No minimum-odds safety net on Friday. The bet: $20 daily doubles Weekend Tiger and Solid Fuel with Behaving Badly; and $5 daily doubles Weekend Tiger and Solid Fuel, with Somethinaboutlaura. That's it. Back on Saturday. Total wagers previous day: $50.Total return previous day: $0.Total win/loss previous day: minus $0.
