Pool Party and other Notes of Interest
The HANA Pool Party is back at Monmouth today! It’s the 7th race that goes off around 3:30pm ET, so you still have time to grab the free PP and get in on the action! Update, I had the winner at 11-1!
A few other notes of interest… there goes my Google traffic.
Not only did boozy 20 somethings enjoy Churchill’s historic foray in to night racing, the numbers show a notable increase in handle as well!
It was bona fide dance party at Belmont last night with Disco Diva in the 5th and Danceyoursocksoff in the 7th. In fact, Disco Diva over Gin Tango is quite possibly the best Friday night exacta ever!
Riderless horse Phone Jazz just crushed the field in the 5th at Belmont, good thing I had Hold the Cruiser, the official winner ($19.40) who finished about 3-4 lengths behind the riderless winner. Hopefully the game Phone Jazz was collected without incidence and the rider is ok.
And finally, it was nice to see Ocean Colors, the last foal out of 1988’s Santa Anita & Kentucky Derby winning Winning Colors put it together on turf at Churchill. For those of us who have been following her since Saratoga, it was great to see her show a little front running dazzle that her mother was so famous for.

Jean-Luc Samyn was the rider and he rode the next race.
thanks for the update T!
Great post. Very happy post!
I can’t believe I missed all that fancy footwork yesterday, but I do HATE to dance.
Nice score today with the Hold that Tiger firster.
I wouldn’t exactly get carried away with the 17% increase in the WPS handle. The Churchill on track attendance far exceeded 17% on Friday evening.
So the per capita wagering left a LOT to be desired.
Nonetheless, I applaud your going to the Equibase charts
to get whatever figures Churchill Downs likes to hide from the public. Thanks.
E - thx! how did you do on the CD card? I almost had the exacta in the classy baby race… had #2 over #1 and several others. so close.
TKS - did you mean to post that at Jessica’s?
I did very well. Sometimes, all the work pays off. I used that longshot in the feature, but not with Calvin. I nailed the baby race.
I already posted at Jessica’s.
I thought YOU did the mathematical tabulations.
Now that you mention it I guess I should be patting Jessica then. ;-)
E - nice! I only played the baby race and only as a parade play. since I don’t have much time to put in the work these days I’m going to have a “summer of maidens” and work on my parade skills. post coming soon!
TKS - yes, I only asked the question about the handle, she did all the work! :)
