BANKROLL

BANKROLL: $1,062.25

A few items before we get started. First, more detailed analysis is coming back for Thursday (I simply didn’t have a lot of time early this week).

Secondly, if you haven’t read Ryan Metzger’s Paulick Report letter to the editor, you should. It’s powerful, and as I told him, I wouldn’t change a single solitary word of it. The time for inaction in horse racing should be over, and that needs to be shouted from the rooftops even if grumpy people in my Twitter mentions don’t want to hear about it.

Finally, I’d be remiss to not mention the passing of Jonathan Sheppard. You’ll hear a bunch of stories about him this week, I’m sure, and all of them will be amazing. Here’s a tip, though: The best one involves Richard Migliore and is best told by him. Find him and ask about it. You won’t regret it.

SUNDAY’S RESULTS: The favorite I tried to beat won the fifth. After scratches, I dropped $14.

WEDNESDAY’S PLAY: I haven’t done this all summer and I don’t have a ton of strong opinions elsewhere on the card, so let’s bet the jump race. I don’t love the heavily-favored entry and actually prefer the second choice, #5 BARBADOS. I’ll have a $30 win bet on that one.

TOTAL WAGERED: $30.
