Frank admits yesterday’s instincts were off. Ciaran says it was a nice day.
Somewhere, Berrios is putting his phone on Do Not Disturb.
Today they’ve studied the same horses and reached the sort of agreement
normally reserved for a disputed property line.
LIVE TODAY: 3:10 p.m. Pacific
We start with Race 6: the $1 Late Pick 4, followed by
the low-takeout $3 Late Pick 3 and $5 Late Double.
Early alert: The $3 All Turf Pick 3 starts in
Race 3, before the show. Waiting for us to go live
is a bold strategy for missing the first leg.
Frank’s Matrix: the prosecution
Race 7: Frank’s pick is
#6 Bottled In Bond (12-1 ML). He gives
#11 Chiseled In Stone a C and says,
“If he wins, I lose.” Ciaran has #11 on top.
We’ve scheduled the disagreement for approximately every six minutes.
Race 9: Frank gives #10 Cardiff Crack
an X. Ciaran calls him a value play. One of them is handicapping;
the other is about to explain why the trip didn’t count.
Ciaran’s Notes: exhibits A and B
Race 8: #3 Super Corredora (10-1 ML).
Ciaran flags the layoff, bullet works and Rosario’s choice of mount.
Ciaran finding a reason to bet Rosario is the handicapping equivalent
of a cat volunteering for a bath.
Race 9: #10 Cardiff Crack (8-1 ML).
The speed and class figures interest him. The famous tri-tip does not.
Apparently the horse has upside, but the sandwich needs a class drop.

MARK’S ENSIGHT
“A horseplayer can remember a bad ride from 2008 in perfect detail,
but ask what he lost yesterday and suddenly he needs an accountant.”
See you at 3:10 p.m. Pacific.
Bring your opinions. Frank and Ciaran have already brought enough
for the entire grandstand.
