Hey Saratoga,

Mr Question is racing tomorrow at Retama Park (race 9) over a mile. Looks perfect, up in distance by 300m which should suit & what looks like a positive jockey change, Amanda L. Crandall has been replaced by John Byrne, and also barrier 4 this time not gate 12. Do you rate it?

Just watched the Evangaline Downs meeting 31/08/05 today.

This Man's Darling won by 17L unextended after being pressured in the lead from the 900m mark. Obvious but a huge win. Worth watching this replay if you can get a hold of it

Kara's Cat Was trapped 4 wide around the clubhouse turn, found the lead then pressured by both the #6 inside & #9 outside to the 600m pole. Still managed to fight on & only beaten inside the final 100m to run 3rd with a 4L gap to 4th.

Crawfish Etouffee Led in a pretty fast pace, being pressured by the #9 to boot. After doing all that early work, the jockey took off before acceptances at the 700m mark & was 4L clear at the 400m. Tired final 200m but that was expected. Winner had a cold inside run & was suited by the early speed.
