Yesterday

2-11. Squeezed out a couple of wins to get off the schneid [R2, 8.10; R6, 5.80]. Plus a smattering of exotics using the picks - including the cold exacta in R2 [$30.40/$2] - with the "D" pick completing the tri [$117.50/$2].

31,460 attended. Another nice day weather-wise, sunny and comfortable. And, like Friday, the party revved up and continued post-races at the neighboring watering holes and later on downtown.

Today

If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halves are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
