The Willowdale Final was one of our blog suggestions that we echoed in our tweets at Woodbine. We were elated to see Audreys Dream go off near 15-1 but deflated when Westwardho Hanover, the dead-on choice, won.  

The undercard feature, the Snowshoe, was almost a giant upset. Our choice, Warrawee Nonsuch, was second at 50-1. The place price was $28.80. With the favorite winning, the exactor paid $111.70.  

In the race before the Snowshoe, we tweeted Selfish Princess. She was 35-1 and finished second to the favorite. She paid $28 to place and the exactor paid $243.20. 

We tweeted two winners, though they were nothing to scream about: Grin For Money paid $5.60 and Reibercrombie paid $4.40. Three others finished third and four were out of the money. 

At the Meadowlands, our Presidential gimmick just proved that history does not necessarily repeat itself. The favorite, Golden Receiver, soared to win another leg with no real challenge. Artist’s View was nowhere. The first leg found Annieswesterncard finishing second again. 

In the Complex legs, Nathan Feelsgood was no factor and our pass in the other leg, due to the giant favoritism of Itrustyou was a good move, with that one winning at a prohibitive price of $2.60.   

At Cal Expo, the no-takeout Pick 4  paid $176.70 without the use of our choices. The first leg was a race riddled with trouble and our two choices were affected. We were second with Muzhik Hanover in leg two, second with KR Rowdy One in leg three and second with Hes Country in leg four. Our choices were alive and certainly would have brought a better Pick-4 price. So we continue next week with the same aim. 

At Pompano, from our H2W list, Spring Goal won, paying $7.20. At Northfield we had two winners, Getrichordietrying ($5.40) and Longlegacy ($3).
