Aqueduct February 24

For those of you wondering, I finished 119th out of 695 entries in the NTRA-NHC in Las Vegas. I was actually only about $20 from making it to the finals. Disappointing, but being in the top 20% was a pretty decent debut.  On Friday it really took me a while to get my bearings, and that is probably where I lost the chance to make the finals. I had a 23-1 shot finish second by a nose, and if that horse had come in I’d have finished around 30th and played on Sunday. We’ll see what happens next year.

Doesn’t really look like a good day to make a big score at the Big A. A number of races where the favorite appears far superior. I guess we’ll see what we can conjure up.
