Golden Vale, the 7-5 favorite under Dylan Davis for trainer Barclay Tagg outfinished the stubborn pace-setting 38-1 longshot Astrology Hill to takes this maiden claiming sprint for fillies and mares that kicked off the pick-6. There was $582,742 new money in the pool on top of the $45,879 carryover. This is the second consecutive Wednesday that wagering in the pick-6 was quite healthy. (Maybe we don't need that gimmicky Rainbow 6 after all).

Anyway, the track does seem to be drying out with a bit of a breeze. The only negative is there are thunderstorms forecast for this evening. Hopefully they miss us.
