YESTERDAY’S RESULTS:Royal Start was never a serious factor and finished off the board.

Loss of $50.

BANKROLL: $1,472.00

VIC CANGIALOSI

TODAY’S PLAY: On this joyous day … closing day … we’ll go with these. Play a $30 double of Flamin’ Hot in the second with Holy Endeavor in the third. Then, $20 on Royal Art to win the Hopeful and a $1 exacta box of Affrunti and Fountaine in the showdown. Total bet: $52.

YESTERDAY’S RESULTS:
Native Wave won but Diamond Doro scratched to bring us a full refund on our double wager.

ED FOUNTAINE

TODAY’S PLAY: In the ninth race, the Hopeful, $50 win on Fortify, who graduates today from the Darley maroon to the Godolphin royal blue. Total bet: $50.

YESTERDAY’S RESULTS: In the first race, Bridge Loan ($30 win, $20 place) was dead on the board throughout the betting, and it showed as he ran fourth at 4-1.

Lost $50.

BANKROLL: $1,966.10

ANTHONY AFFRUNTI

TODAY’S PLAY: Down to the wire here, we’ll play $10 to win on Sotique in the fifth race. Went to the wedding with Fortify in his debut, so we’re attending the funeral as well by putting the remaining $40 to win on his nose in the ninth. Hopefully, it will be a happy occasion. Total bet: $50.

YESTERDAY’S RESULTS: Was done early when Seniors Pride ran third and failed to help cash the win bet. Lost $50.

BANKROLL: $1,985.35
