TOP STAR VENTURE scored nicely with better last out in May. Cuts back and the tag drops. The figs were ascending nicely but we're clueless here about the 75-day layup despite the classy connections.

SET PLANS didn't miss by much VS similar open company. Returns to state-breds and that may do the trick here.

Off the layup CHOCOLATE POWER catches the top rider at the meet and cuts back to a sprint. She's been breezing and breathing so she might be worth a diddle.

The 1/2/5/8 catch the DD here in various amounts with the fave gone in race 1.

Some landscapers are working nearby and are driving the cats nuts with the noise. All three are upstairs in the man cave horse parlor on alert. None of them brought me a cold beer thoughy which I found rather tacky.

The fave TIGER EYED is a beaten fave three times over since shipping in from Fair Grounds. Maybe the Cajuns know something I'm too stupid to see.

P3: 1-2-5-8/2-5/1

P3: 1-5/2/1-6

Those busty Louisiana girls along the rail in overalls are cashing while I rip.

I couldn't cover that horse at 3/1 but I knew it was a winner with 3/8ths to go.
