Results from Horseshoe Indianapolis

Race 1: 3rd (show), out (missed the break)

Race 3: 7th (very disappointed with the in race tactics)

Race 7: 5th (out), 8th (broke outward - towards Grandstand side)

Not as good as hoped, but that happens sometimes.

The Melbourne Cup is tonight and should be interesting.

Here are the results:

Winner: #11 Knights Choice $221.70, $83.80 and $42.40 (great name)

Place: #4 Warp Speed $25.20 and $14.10 (like the Star Trek series)

Show: #12 Okita Soushi  $13.30 (strong dislike of raw fish)

Forth: #14 Zardozi (figures didn't add up for me)

The other horse I liked was the 1, mostly since William Buick was scheduled for the ride.

$1 exacta,: (11-4), $2,644.20

.20 tri: (11-4-all), $816.77

.20 sup: (11-4-all-all), $1,436.74

Races like this don't come around often for me, maybe five times a year.

Interesting race, wasn't it?
