*** Main track continues to favor early/pressing types, but at a much lesser extent than previous weeks.
*** John Jacinto had a big week with 9 wins, and it could have been better had he not been DQ’d in Saturday’s 4th race. He teamed up with Pat Mouton for three of the winners, and with John Locke for a pair.
*** Apprentice Dustin Dugas got the ball rolling with a trio of winners on the week. Watch as the youngster gains more confidence and gets on better horses.
*** Morning Ridge and Mr. Canaveral share horse performance of the week honors. The former ran her record to a perfect 4-4, while the latter was winning his 3rd straight race at the meet at his 3rd different distance while climbing the class ladder.
