Race 4 is an Maiden Special Weight for filly 3 years old and up.
After a quick look at the racing form, I like #1 Alystar Lady, #2 Chusan, #4 Corbin's Bay and #7 Madame Toumanova.
Alystar Lady - Let just say I have inside information about this horse and it is ready for a big race. Honestly, I didn't see anything from the workout and the 1 hole is no good for first time starter, I normally would have pass but I keep him just in case my source is for real :-).
Chusan - another first time starter. This one is difference than Alystar Lady. I like the work pattern, it has been training since July for this start. Bold Executive is a good first time starter sire and her trainer Reade Baker is red hot lately. I am a little surprise that the horse got off at 21-1 odds.
Corbin's Bay - is the deserving favorite. It just missed in her last race and she own the higest beyer in the field.
Madame Toumanova - showed speed in her last race and just got beat to finish 2nd in her last race. Baker also is the trainer for this one and I thought he had a good chance to be 1-2 in this race.
After being interrupted a few times by my kids, i didn't have time to make the wagers. I would have box all 4 in an exactor and a triactor tickets. I watched the race anyway to see if Alystar Lady will surprise me . As they were turning for home, Alystar Lady was long gone. Chusan and Corbin's Bay were battling each other in deep stretch to a photo finish and I thought Chusan may have won it at the inside. Madame Toumanova hang on to finish 3rd. Just as I was kicking myself for missing another long shot payout, the inquiry sign went on. You can read the chart for the detail of the incident at the stretch. The bottomline is, Chusan was DQ and placed 4th and my would be triactor ticket was gone too.
The race reminds me in horse racing, you need to be good but you also need to be lucky to cash your tickets.
