First let’s talk about the Power Page.  Yesterday confirmed exactly how “in tune” the Power Page had been…  Star horses over the past week include (starting Saturday and going backward) Tribal Spy @ $25.60, Friday — Fizzy Pin @$4.00, Irishh Whisper @ $5.30 and Where’s Danny  (placing at 20/1)),Thursday — Beau Who @ $11.80, Wild Optimism @ $21.20 and Wednesday Mister Popsicle @ $6.50…  That a total WIN return of $74.60 at a cost of only $42.00…  Not included is the 9th at Santa Anita which hasn’t run as of this posting…
