Coast-to-coastOtherwise we struggled a little with the gimmicks -- except for a home-run at Turf Paradise. Ours ran 1-2-3 cold in Arizona for the $36.80/$2 exacta and $58.60/$2 triple. At Aqueduct we were at the mercy of one of those turf marathons pace plays where Balto Star just lulled them to sleep on the front end. And at Hollywood our top pick had an unexpected romp through the crowd prior to the race and then didn't offer a lot on track.
So it was a mixed bag on Saturday.
