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

PLACID DREAMS (4-1) got a perfect ride by Theriot to rate between horses in 4th, tipped out top of the stretch and wore down longshot BUILDAKISS who made a perfectly timed wide sweep to the lead turning for home. Just failed to hold on in a much improved effort. GOODBYE EXCAVATE improved off the Calhoun claim. Angled out at the 1/8th pole and finished willingly for third. DUCLAW had a perfect inside trip. Dead aim thru stretch but came up empty.
