Handicappers Corner
What a carryover. Seems like a decent card today. I quite often defend the premise that jocks and trainers rarely mess with their horse's chances when they are fit and ready but I saw a couple of things yesterday that would have me screaming at the rail if I was live at the track. Hope the stewards are watching closely.
Good Luck !
