?q=100)
Thursday, November 28
DIAMOND RYDER (NW1) was parked to the lead, met last quarter pressure, gutted out second at over 15-1 in last.
WHEELING BY BENTLEY (NW2) trotter was used hard to the lead, set a pressed pace and was nailed while holding gamely for second.
HELLION (NW1) tucked passing the quarter, pulled to the half, grinded steadily uncovered and was a good try second. Beaten favorite should have a better trip in next.
FLANAGAN SUNSHINE (NW1) second choice went to the lead and wired the field in handy fashion.
IDEAL ENTRY (CLM20000FM) went to the lead, yielded sat pocket and had some traffic problems in the lane when space was needed.
Friday, November 29
DIRTY DIANA (NW2FM) only front-stepping winner on the card to wire the field and was on own through the lane.
GRIT N GRACE (NW2FM) put in a good down the road effort as the odds-on favorite but was nailed late by the very well-bet uncovered 2nd favorite. Can atone over a more speed favoring oval.
CHIEFS DREAM GIRL (NW4800FM) brushed to the half, took the lead, opened up, tired, gutted out second to the fast-flying winner.
MYSTIFYING (NW8000FM) sat in, looked for room heading home, ducked in, ducked out, ducked in and broke. Do not ignore.
RESILIENCE (NW3FM) went down the road and tired getting necked on the wire. Beaten favorite atones if she lives up to her name.
Saturday, November 30
SOUTHLAND SAMBUCA (COND) came uncovered and chased his even money pacesetting stablemate home flattening late. Deserves a look for his own merits in next.
WHATCHULOOKIN AT (NW10000) sat pocket, tipped and brushed when ready rolling away from the field in a jogburger.
BEYOND BETTER (NW18000) sat to the rear, wheeled wide from 5th over with strong finish to be second best at nearly 40-1.
DAY TRADER (NW2500) tucked past the quarter, pulled at the half, rallied, gained cover, hit stride late and just missed.
JMR SPEAK AWAY (NW2) rallied a long way on the rim, went three wide from third over with game finish and was second in the photo.
Monday, December 2
DELCREST BRENT (NW28750) trotter flashed some good last quarter speed rallying up for 2nd in latest.
DOUBLE DOWN DUKE (CLMHCP12/17000) tucked, saved, finished strong to win going away. Got claimed and will come out firing in next.
JOHNNY BUCKSHOT (NW8000) tucked to the quarter, pulled to the third panel, challenged, wore down the stubborn leader but was nailed by the late-closing favorite.
KENOGAMI COCCO (NW2500) sat last to the final turn, rallied between horses with good late trot.
ETERNALLY HANOVER (COND) was out the final turn second over as the lead changed, hit stride late and just missed.
MACH IMPACT (CLMHCP12/17000) wired the field drawing away easily. Got claimed and can win again.
