The In Crowd (Dobie Gray, 1973)





This is a stretch, for sure, but Ladies Day, or Breeders' Cup Day 1 was all about gray: With absolutely no buzz whatsover (these were championship races?) we were looking for the extra betting edge and went for the Grady Lady-Pick 5. What? We'll it worked: With a total of 5 grays in five of the six Breeders' Cup races Friday, we had two winners and a runner-up: Tapitsfly ($21.60 to win) in the Juvenile Fillies Turf; Beautician ($9.40 to place) in the Juvenile Fillies; Forever Together ($2.40 to show) in the F&M Turf; Informed Decision ($8.80 to win); and Careless Jewel (zip, last in the Ladies Classic). A profit on the day.


On Saturday, we'll go gray again but there's not much: Summer Movie in the Juvenile Turf (these races are so riveting _ lol _ I don't even know if he made the field); Silver Timber and California Flag in the Turf Sprint; Zensational in the Sprint; Mastercraftsman in the Dirt Mile; and Monzante in the Turf. No grays in the Classic, so I'm going with Gio Ponti, with a small wager on Richard's Kid.
