Shut Out
– Fleetheart wins, pays $4.80. I make nothing. My online betting service is an AmericaTab outlet and I’m shut out of Southern California and New York, the two circuits I play with any seriousness, thanks to the TrackNet-ADW mess, until — like a lot of other players — I go through the bother of opening and funding a second acount. So, all I could do last night was admire how the four-year-old filly dueled for the early lead and then rebuffed a game Lochinvar’s Gold in the stretch to win by half a length, and console myself with the thought that I really didn’t want to play a 7-5 shot, even one who looked as much like a sure thing as she did.
– The champ is back! In his first work since winning the Dubai World Cup, Invasor breezed four furlongs at Belmont on Wednesday morning (NYRA). Invasor is scheduled to start next in the Suburban on June 30.
