RACE SIX TRIP NOTES by The Wizard on Saturday, June 06, 2009

5-1 winner HAPMAN, cleared early, then quickly faced pressure. Fought off that one, but once again met a hard challenge by the 5-2 favorite. Battled tooth and nail along the rail through the stretch with that one, looked beaten, then came again. Returnee and sharp drop down, favorite MONTANA MIKE sat a perfect inside-out trip. Looked a sure winner late, but was outfinished. Rough trip for EAGLE HAWK, who was steadied and checked many times throughout the running. Had no shot off that journey. The rest showed little.
