Ofer Two

Well shit. The expected pace duel never developed, as Shopton Lane and Now a Victor led the field all the way around the track, with Victor overtaking Lane late and holding on for a solid win.

Our original choice, Dr V's Magic got stuck inside and had to alter course, ruining his chances of hitting the exacta. Our bomb made a strong late run for 4th, doing us no good whatsoever.

The soft first half mile (:49+) was too much to overcome for Notice Me Now. We were looking for something in the :46.5 range; had we gotten that from the two frontrunners, I feel pretty confident the 4 would have gotten up for the place and nice ticket.

We didn't get our pace, he didn't get his race, we're 0-for-2 and scrambling now.
