I was asked by a friend heading to Canterbury Thursday night.

So here's my handicapping view. I don’t play or handicap quarter horse races. I also don’t handicap a race I have a horse in, but play our horses. Consequently, if the track is fast my plays will be limited to our Astar/Lindquist horse in the 3rd, Mount Eagle in the 5th based on the final odds and exotic keys, and lastly I’m a little fascinated by a horse that sold as a $260,000 yearling making a his debut as a 4 year old maiden at Canterbury Park called Hold The Wire, in the 5th. The horse never had a published work until last April 16th, and had a bullet work two back. There has to be a few strange stories there ...... but I like strange stories. Good luck. (And yes Terri, that's 25 year old buddy, and a Vikings Bret Farve Jersey ..... I never wear decent clothes when working in the barn.)
