RACE EIGHT OBSERVATIONS by The Wizard on Saturday, February 21, 2009

NOTE: I HOPE YOU KEPT YOUR MONEY IN YOUR POCKET AS I SUGGESTED. TAKING THAT SHORT OF AN EXACTA IS NOT PRUDENT. THERE ARE BETTER WAYS TO INVEST YOUR MONEY. AT $6.00 I WOULD HAVE BET (AND LOST) BUT ANYTHING LOWER I WANTED NO PART OF.

1-5 shot HIGH TAP had to work harder than I expected to pass OH SO CLEVER who held on well while setting a moderate pace. It was well back to FOREST QUEEN who had perfect position turning for home, but came up completely empty in the stretch is a very disappointing effort.
