It's the third North American start for Chad's THAIS. Good late run and ascending figs. Drawing the rail on the inner with JV up seals the deal.

PARTY BOAT is a stakes winner on this course but that was from the 2-hole. Second over and will need a trip from Rosario for her powerful late run. An inside scratch or two would be a bonus.

The Lump HEAVENLY SCORE (9/3/2/1) is a turf winner at 7 furlongs and there ain't nothing in the blood lines that tells me she can't get a mile and a sixteenth.

The undefeated WELL HUMORED is two for two in busted turf races at two different tracks as the fave both times. You'd be nuts not to cover this one with at least a diddle.

Only Chad's THAIS can land my P3 as the second single in the wager while that one and the #3 WELL HUMORED could catch Leg 2 of another.

The Heinz 57 Varieties numbers will be racing for my third DD to keep me afloat in a tough card.

DD: 1-7/1-3-6

P3: 1-3-5-7/3/2

Ex: 3/1-7

Bookend Grope DD: 1-10/6

Chad's chalk from Canarsie gets home on the inner and I can live with that but there was no way I could like it with the wagering beyond covering with a flier.

THAIS had the rail open late off a sweet trip but had no run late.

Chad's two caught two of the three payoff slots and that ain't bad. Two winners today for OG's son.

And a third winner for Gabby who's making our NY boy and local "professional handicapper" look like a rookie with a hat pin. He yells at her on Talking Horses while later in the day she collects while he stoops for late scratches on discarded tickets.
