2008 Del Mar Handicapping Challenge Thirtieth Day Monday August 18

#'s 10 & 5 were our choices today-- the former: dominant speedster who projected to be alone at the second call...the latter: a closer / grinder who figured to benefit from a multi-horse speed duel.

But, as often occurs in horseracing-- the best laid plans of mice and men.... the connections of #10 chose to have it close instead-- and it sulked itself right out of the race. Meantime, the remaining speedsters set a considerably slower pace of 22.5 & 46...allowing two of them to finish in front.
