RACE SEVEN OBSERVATIONS by The Wizard on Saturday, March 14, 2009

10-1 winner MACHO AGAIN rebounded from 2 dismal efforts with a come from behind victory back on a wet track. He got a great ride by Albarado who was notching his 4th win on the card. Big race by SECRET GETAWAY who set a pressured pace from the start. Dug in gallantly in deep stretch, but was outfinished. He clearly ran the best race of the two. IT’S A BIRD ran very well forcing the pace from the start. Tired at the 1/16th pole but was clearly best of the rest. Disappointing race from the 2-1 favorite HONEST MAN who raced in mid pack. Made a mild wide rally to be in good striking position approaching the stretch, but had nothing in the lane.
