Claiming Crown Picks - Results

One thing that always bugs me a bit is when - and you see this a lot on message boards - someone gives you their can't miss selections and never posts their results. So here is the rundown of Saturdays Claiming Crown picks and how my top three ended up finishing.


Iron Horse:
1. Calm and Collected - 2
2. Bright Hall - 1
3. Roboponi - 4

Express
1. Chasing the Prize - 1
2. Ready's Rocket - 7
3. Norjac - 2

Rapid Transit

1. Grand Traverse - 2
2. Max Ahead - 4
3. All Joking Aside - 5

Glass Slipper

1. Met A Miner - 6
2. Miranda Diane - 9
3. Thunder and Belle - 2

Tiara

1. Mizzcan'tbewrong - 1
2. Love to Tell - 2
3. R Vicarious Girl - 4

Emerald

1. Drivingmaxandmitzi - 4
2. T Harry - 9
3. Gran Estreno -1

Jewel

1. Furthest Land - 4
2. Antrim County - 1
3. Repenting - 5

The Lady Canterbury Stakes

1. Euphony - 2
2. Happiness Is -1
3. Lady Carlock - 3

Of my top 3 choices I had 6 winners, 5 places and 1 show for 12 spots out of a possible 24. Fifty percent. Not great. But I did have two exacta boxes and a tri box which wasn't too bad in only 8 races. Betting win and place on the top choice (and changing my wager after their respective post parades to Antrim County and Happiness Is) , plus and exacta and dollar tri boxes, a very mild profit was eeked out. Thank you, Canterbury, for the free admission - it made all the difference Saturday!
