RACE FIVE OBSERVATIONS by The Wizard on Saturday, March 21, 2009

9-5 favorite ROCKURST set a pressured pace from the start. Hooked by PARKER RUN at the top of the stretch, then held that one off the entire stretch in a very gritty performance. EDGERRIN closed for 3rd but was no threat to the top pair as both those old gladiators were clearly best of the rest. This win gave trainer Stidham his 2nd on the day.
