RACE EIGHT TRIP NOTES by The Wizard on Saturday, June 20, 2009

7-2 winner APPLE MARTINI, won only because of the tremendous ride put up by Eddie Razo Jr. Saved ground on all turns. Waited patiently for a hole to open in the stretch. Split horses very late with a daring move, and just nailed SUN FOR FUN on the line. Terrific race! Sun For Fun saved ground in front of the winner. Moved before that one, swinging off the rail. Stiff drive to take narrow lead nearing the wire, but was just nosed out for the win. LABAR may have been best. Forced to take the overland route, closing boldly from far back while widest through the stretch.
