Coast-to-coast

Plenty of solid stakes action coast-to-coast. Speaking of coast-to-coast -- our namesake in the Best Bets section is more than a hunch play. We saw the debut and had the horse as a play that day -- looked like a good, educational first try. We'll look for some improvement in the second start.

We've also taken a shot a the huge Hollywood P6 carryover with a small budget play.
