Custer, too, had a plan...

Here are the results for Churchill today:

Well, I missed the winner. His last few races left much to be desired and his last, in the slop-which he handles, against the same class was definitely not encouraging. Out of seven tries at Churchill he has hit the board only once, granted it was a win but his form was lacking...Oh well.

Race 3 somebody knew something but it wasn't me. They made Angelica Delight the 4/5 favorite and she set an easy uncontested lead leaving her plenty of gas for the stretch. Silvie's Lullaby faded just like her last.

Race 4 We got the 4/5 winner by a nose. YAY.

Race 5 My pick scratched but I don't know how I missed the winner. I had him circled on the form and he was 4/5. Just sloppy I guess.

Race 6 The winner won at 11-1 as part of an entry?!?!?!?!?!?!? No form whatsoever and I would have had to hit the all button to come up with him. Our horse checked in fourth as part of a 3 way photo for place.

Race 7 We ran fourth as the second choice. It happens.

Race 8 We win.

Race 9 Finished fourth as the favorite.

I ended up with two out of seven which is better than I thought I would do. The speed handicapping is helping me focus more on culling the losers but I am still sloppy in narrowing down the winners. It is helping though.
