That's rough smoke. That's been my story of the spring.

I had a straight up trifecta

Fiorente, first.

Second I had Seville.

Third I had 2 chances Mount Athos and Red Cadeaux. Bloody Seville.

I was peeed but won on head to head on Fiorente so a good day and mrs gets a new dress.

Race 1:- 3 Miss Idyllic. $14
Race 2:- 7 Khutulun $10
Race 3:- 9 Clear Direction $21
