Thought we had that one, boys. Unfolded beautifully. Run down late. Saved 2 bucks on scratches.

Race 8
$20 win #4 Style and Profile 10-1
$2 DD 4/4,10
Trainer Ferris Allen has a win at 71-1, and a place at 50-1 just in the last week. Can he do it again? Probably not. But this field is weak so might as well take a hit trainer at a big price.

Risked $24, -$705

Ferris is a Virginia guy. He has always taken the Colonial meet very seriously since its inception.
Your thoughts on him at Colonial should serve you well in the long hall. Good job with that.

Thanks, str. Didn’t realize he is a Virginia guy. Will pay extra attention to him now. I’ve always felt some trainers point to certain meets, so they deserve a second glance at those meets. Especially at big odds. Much appreciated!

I raced there in the summer from 97 until I retired from racing in early 01. I know Ferris very well. Certainly know the trainers from Md. that were around back in that time period. Actually 76-01 but Colonial was only open those last few years. Ever have a question about any of them, fire away. Happy to help.

Wow. That’s awesome. So many talented trainers seem to come from that region. Voss, Sheppard, Violette, etc. Appreciate the info!

Ochoa a bum

Lose his number

Early in the thread, pointed out that I would be looking to bet trainer Angel M. Rodriguez. He started off really poor, and has a bigger stable here than I anticipated, so I had to bail on him, as it was getting costly. However, he’s had two winners that paid $30+. I blew those, but gonna get back on board until the end of the meet.

Race 7
$20 win #8 Florindia 30-1

Finale, betting a Tampa trainer that I can never seem to get a handle on. Susan Cooney. She beats me when I’m against her, loses when I back her. But I’m a sucker for Tampa trainers.

$20 win #10 Bonnie Blue 20-1
