The racing will go on this weekend, but before I get into my first preview for the weekend, I want to say thank you to Mike La Rosa for giving me the opportunity to write for the SRF and for everything else he did for me and for the game.

This would make her our selection as well as the pick of the bettors as she was made the post time favorite.
