Big Awful at the Big A

The dry spell at Aqueduct continues, as the Mushka circled the field at the top of the stretch and drove home to win the Demoisel.

My notes on Mushka: "right style, little value; play against"

Well, she was more valuable than our get-well play, who led through the early fractions (wish she'd been in the race before to post that :47.2 half mile) and got cooked late.

We'll go with one more bomb at Aqueduct, then head west to the cozy Cushion Track of Hollywood Park, where we've actually cashed some tickets and are in the black for the year.
