I spent just enough time in Rochester NY earlier in life to appreciate having Fort Erie on the Simulcast at the Henrietta Road OTB, where I would often take lunch late so I could dip in and bet an exacta before slogging back to the office.

Cashed with Tone Broke in the Prince of Wales, as my trip note on him and his back dirt form indicated he’d be a strong play, and 11/2 at post time was a gift.

I indicated this on my Twitter feed in some of the lead up to the race.

Admittedly, we were helped when Avies Flatter crushed One Bad Boy down to the rail out of the gate – who then had to be ridden hard inside to get in position.

Which, of course, leads to an opportunity. One Bad Boy was completely taken out of his front running game and never had a chance to relax. Also appears that he may be better on turf and synth, so odds are he will be a strong play back, either in the next leg of the Canadian triple crown, or wherever he shows up next.

Brilliant move by Fort Erie having their biggest race day on a Tuesday evening. Couldn’t wait to get home and play there, and they handled all my action on Tuesday. Well done!

We’ll have a throw with Better Tapit in the fourth today at Saratoga. Regally bred, strong debut, even run last time, but to my eye they stiffed the ride a little bit because they wanted to get in the winners circle at the Spa – so let’s get there with them.
