Race 2-621 OSS Colt Trot
Race 6-651 OSS Colt Trot
Race 11-167 Battle of Lake Erie-Should be a GREAT race

GSB- asking because I don't have a program yet, how tough do the piks look?

Thanks Senator. I'll have a peak, and get to OTB early enough to study, the early pik 4.

I used to go to OTB's in NYC and NYS in the day, now I use ADW's in Florida.  You still go to a physical location still to watch and wager, might as well go to the track to see the races live - that's still a hoot  ?

VGL to U today!   

[SwankToliverA]

I agree, nothing better than being trackside watching live.
Time restraints prevent me from getting to the track a couple times a week, so I make do with an OTB.

Thank you, VGL to you as well, if betting today/tonight.

Team Tritton with a beast of a drive. Great race.

Agreed; and the horse was really good also ;>>)

A little luck in the race never hurts. #3 was a no show and when Ruthless broke there was a nice hole on the rail. Then she got the cover she needed. Her horse is a good horse , but a lot has to do with the way the race plays out especially on that track. In the 1995 Battle I saw a 3k horse beat millionaire Village Jiffy. I've seen some strange outcomes happen over the years on those flying turns.

Imagine betting gas and go Georgie Nap at that price knowing that handsless wonder would be firing big off the gate, hellbent for the top and yes breaking the steed early. Too funny but not unexpected. What happened with Backstreet Shadow?

[The Thorn]

Worst drive of the race was Buter on Covered Bridge, horse in lifetime form and he just sits in, overloaded on the final turn with nowhere to go.

[Generation XYZ]

Great Race, interesting outcome. Certainly was not my pick. I thought Charlie May was going to get the job done. Still big congrats to the connections.

Backstreet Shadow broke before the start

Weak field for this alleged "Battle". Is anyone else tired of watching This Is The Plan. Alywag Hanover didn't even bother with this joke of a race.
