Double Your Fun

Trainer Pat Kelly hadn't won a race since May 23, when he won twice; that was some 70 races ago. So, when he finally broke through with first-timer Shrewd One ($50.50) in the 4th on Thursday, one might (or might not) have deduced that he would do it again, with Pynaformer ($10.80) in the 7th. Funny how you sometimes see things work out that way. Shrewd One is a two-year old son of Smarty Jones out of an End Sweep mare, and this is the direct distaff family of the BC Sprint winner Precisionist.

Two winners for Mott, for the second day in a row.

And, also for the second day in a row, trainer David Donk scored a longshot winner, this time with Paraiba ($28.80) in the finale. On Wednesday, he took the 4th with He Ain't Easy ($33.80).
