Thursday, November 23 ALESSANDRA (POPUP) grinded a long way on the rim and kept coming to just miss in 4-horse photo. GOLDINTHEBADLANDS (CLMHCP15/18000) was parked the mile, challenged to the lane, dug in while tiring and nearly won the prize. KICKIN COWGIRL (POPUP) beaten favorite tucked early, slipped out second over, hit stride a step too late in strong finish to just missed the tiring pacesetting second choice.    TANGLEWILD ROAD (NW2) was away slowly, sat to the rear, tipped the final turn and closed strong passing all but the winner. NO PARTNERS (CLMHCP15/18000) wired the field easily over a slow and tiring track and can take another. Friday, November 24 ELISES DELIGHT (W2-4FM) sat in, cleared stretch traffic late and finished with good pace. WILDCAT HERA (NW2FM) put in a good wire to wire effort as the 8-1 second choice on the board but could not stall the determined bid of the prohibitive uncovered favorite. CLASSIC MAGIC (NW15000) was buried to the lane, angled out, closed well but had too far to come. Beaten favorite can atone with better trip. CODYS MOMENT (NW1FM) wired the field and held well with little urging on a night when the front was tiring. Saturday, November 25 SPEAKER OF PEACE (NW2) tucked early and was shuffled, sat three-holed to the lane, tipped, closed with good pace to be second best on the board and on the track. FULL HORSE (HARVEST) was parked to the lead, yielded to the winner, sat pocket and gamed out 2nd place. BEYOND BETTER (NW15250) sat to the rear, rallied late, got up for 3rd and bears watching. PIPEWRENCH CHARLIE (NW2550) yielded twice and was outfinished in last outing. THE GREEK FREAK (NW47000) was parked with the winner's cover, raced third over the final quarter with game finish and would be no surprise. Monday, November 27 RIVERS (NW14000) grinded up on the rim, gained cover heading home, rallied well but was 2nd to the tripped-out winner. THEDOGINTHEFIGHT (CLMHCP12/16000) tucked to the quarter, pulled to the half, rallied uncovered as the winner got away and was second best at the end. Got claimed and should give it a good try in next. TAKEAPEAK AT ME (CLMHCP50/60000) trotter rallied late from third over in last and should not be ignored. STORMONT DIVIDE (W2-4) was in a third over in a blindswitch heading home, cleared the tiring horse late with good finish but was second best to the late rush of the favorite. PROCRASTINATOR (CLMHCP17/22000) appeared to live by his name as he trailed, moved wide late and closed stoutly. Perhaps a winner in next if he moves sooner.
