So a quick post to update the takedown scoreboard (and life) … I have neither been playing or posting much the past couple of months, largely due to a family health issue that had me traveling a lot to support the family. I did score out pretty well last weekend, thanks to a minority share in the Trashman’s weekend pick tickets. Sometimes handicapping the ‘cappers might be more valuable than the horses !

The takedown scoreboard gets a semi update, as yesterday had a couple bucks on Yamato, who’s better than the starter allowance conditions he keeps finding … anyway, Luis had to take him 4-wide off the turn, made the lead for a bob, but Road to Meath had just a bit more in reserve off an inside trip, and won. But wait, there’s more – the stewards inquiry went up, as they investigated whether Road to Meath came out and forced fourth place runner American Ninja to check … Paco was already going backwards but checked hard late. In the end, the stewards weren’t buying and there was no change. So we got neither help nor harm, and we are now 1-1-1 on the scoreboard, and down a couple bucks thanks to those darn stewards.
