Double-dog-dare

Each day that I'm attending the races I'll post three selections; the "early daily double", the underdog longshot of the day, and the "dare you to bet this" turf triple.

Opening Day- July 23rd

"There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures." - William Shakespeare

So I guess Billy the Bard didn't mind an off track.

Wednesday: Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. High near 73. South wind between 6 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between three quarters and one inch possible.
