RACE FIVE TRIP NOTES by The Wizard on Saturday, July 04, 2009

Rider E.T. Baird showed why he is the best rider at this meet, as he did not let the 3-2 favorite AGNOSTIC shake loose from him, as he chased him from the start. When Agnostic spurted clear on the turn, Baird went after him again. When the two turned for him, 5-2 second choice HE'S BONAFIDE was right up to his flanks. The two fought tooth and nail until deep stretch, when Bonafide edged clear and then was all out to hold off the fast closing SUNDAE SLEW who sat a perfect inside out trip.
