Not sure y JC Ferrer didn't keep the mount for this race but at least Paco is familiar with JJ's Lucky Train,(rode him 2 out first 3 starts lifetime). Best post, outside all the speeds can sit and wait.

One day some years ago I go to work for AutoTote up at Saratoga and I see Woody sunning himself early in the morning in the paddock on a lawn chair. I jump the low fence and go say hello. I sit on the grass next to him and we talk about New York racing. Harvey Pack was working for NYRA then and I mentioned that Harvey owed my dead father $20 from 1958. Woody told me that "that prick" owed him $2 from 1954.

Anway the 3 and 5 land a DD here and the 1/5/7 move on a P3 but were still groping without being on a crowded bus near women.

P4: 1-5/2-6/3-4/1-6-9-12

light but steady rain, should be sloppy for the Belmont

I'm chuckling. Losing so far but catching a few guffaws.

Good call. Thought JJ would have been closer but from the beginning he was under pressure just to be where he was
