-------------------------------------------------

Today I'm drawn to #2 Wizard of Westwood in race 3 from SA, as long as it stays on the turf. The plan is to wager equal amounts to win and place as long as the odds are the same as the morning line or higher, if not only wagering to win. Race has a 1:59pm local time start.

Wizard of Westwood finished third after setting fast fractions in the early portion of the race and was easily past in the turn for home by the 1:5 favorite and publics second getting choice. There was a scratch in the compact field, five, as a result bridge jumpers couldn't give it a deep cut (no show wagering). Lost $4.00 on the race, as choices odds were greater than the mourning line odds. WoW was the publics third betting choice and had won would have paid double digits on the win and about half of the win price for the place wager. Win some. Lose some. Hopefully find a couple for Monday.
