Saturday, March 21
WAVEMAKER (W4-7) flashed some good late pace. Barn wins here, there, everywhere and anywhere.
MACADOODLEDOO (CLM20/25000) put up a good third panel and drew away impressively heading home.
RUM N RAISINS (CLMHCP30/40000) set a pressed pace, gutted out the win and was claimed again.
TWIGGS PUB (CLMHCP30/40000) raced third over and went wide the final turn with strong finish to just miss the top one....again.
MYSWEETBOYMAX (NW6500) saved, improved up the rail, tipped heading home and sprinted home to nail another win.
P L QUINELLA (NW6500) tucked, sat pocket, won again and at a good price. Been too hot to toss out in next.
Monday, March 23
BAMBINO JOE (CLM7500) finished full of pace along the rail to just miss and should give it another try.
THE AMERICAN EAGLE (CLMHCP125/15000) had the 8-hole, rallied up second over and was outkicked by the pocket sitting winner. Do not ignore in next race or two.
IRA WHO (NW3500) trotter was second over, rallied well but was outfinished by the odds-on late-closing favorite and bears watching.
WAY TOO SWEET (CLMHCP75/10000FM) well-bet second choice just missed in 5-wide late rush and gets a long look in next.
MR DUNNIGANS (CLM10000) beaten favorite tipped in the final turn, rallied strong and just missed. Got claimed and can score for new connections.
SANDYBOOTS YANKEE (NW4FM) yielded twice and was second to the odds-on favorite. Trainer has a fondness for winning and could get it done in next.
Tuesday, March 24
LEW HAUBER (CLM10000) yielded, sat pocket and was second best at nearly 70-1 to the winning front-stepping favorite.
STORM HANOVER (NW2) tucked twice to earn a good check at 37-1 on a day when speed absolutely ruled.
MOSES (NW3500) came uncovered, challenged the leader and tired. Should be tighter in next and will do better over a more favorable track.
LUNA LANDING (NW1) trotter challenged the middle half before backing off and should do better in next.
AMERICAS GUEST (CLM7500) put in a good uncovered parked the mile effort over the speed-favoring oval.
