JOHN DaSILVA

TODAY’S PLAYS: In the first race, play a $10 exacta box Eddie C. and Half a Note. Then play a $5 double part wheel of Eddie C. and Half a Note with Syriana’s Song, Armonk and Smokin Stephanie. Total bet: $50.

MONDAY’S RESULTS: Had the right idea but we still lost both of our bets when we ran first and third in both races. Lost $50.

ED FOUNTAINE

TODAY’S PLAYS: In the fourth race, $20 to win, $10 place on Desafinado. In the seventh, $20 to win on Lemon Drop Gal. Total bet: $50.

MONDAY’S RESULTS: In seventh race, caught $10 exacta part-wheel with War Monger over Mister White Socks. But the exacta came back a lot lighter then we hoped at $14.60 Won $25.

BANKROLL: $1,554.00

VIC CANGIALOSI

TODAY’S PLAYS: Play $10 on Staid to finally win in the fourth. Then Chief’s Lake carries top weight in the Albany but it will not stop him from his third straight win. A pair of $20 doubles with both The Ag and One in a Romp in the ninth. Total bet: $50.
