MONMOUTH PARK Race 8 & LONE STAR PARK Race 5

They're loading into the gate for the eighth race at Monmouth, an allowance optional claiming race. The favorite is Ever a Friend. My pick is Pickapocket, but I suspect that Pointing North is sitting on a big one. . .

They're off! Get Serious has taken the early lead! Florentino follows him! Pickapocket is eight lengths off the lead!

Ever a Friend has nowhere to go! Get Serious still leads! Get Serious goes wire-to-wire! But there is an objection! Final time 1:33 and change for the one mile turf race.

In the meantime, we come to the fifth at Lone Star. The favorite for the Ouija Board Handicap is Wasted Tears. I don't think she can lose. Bubbly is the second choice.

They're off! Bubbley broke fastest, but Wasted Tears has taken the lead! Down the backstretch they're still one-two! Around the turn they're still together!

What a stretch dual! Wasted Tears held on to win by a neck! The final time was 1:33.25.

Out at Hollywood Park, the two year old filly J P's Gusto won the Willard L. Proctor Memorial Handicap very impressively. I would say that she is definitely a filly to watch.

And finally, the objection at Monmouth was not allowed, so Get Serious is the official winner.

I'll be back with more soon. . .
