Title: SPA Day XXXVI, Thursday, 8/28/25 & Kentucky Downs Opener
Post by: Trigger on August 28, 2025, 12:23:19 AM
The SPA will be Fast and Firm, mid 70's, light breeze.  No hurdle race today, first race is at 1:10pm and an 11 race card there.

Kentucky Downs opener starts today, also expected to be Firm, high 70's - low 80's.  They are in Central Standard Time (CST).  First race there is 1:25pm EST and also an 11 race card running head with the SPA. 

Last year KD averaged @ $1.2 mil in handle per race.  Big fields will mean big payouts.  Look for patterns!  tmbz1

Just 2 stakes races for moi today - the 7th at the SPA, and the 10th at KD. No harness or anything else.  A chill day, start to energize and get ahead for Fri-Mon's T-Bred / Harness racing.  Labor day is Monday.

Wishing Everyone Fun and Success and the Best of Luck at the Races Today!  ;D

Katie Davis knocks the shit out of #7

She got lucky, made a great move then before she can straighten her horse out she goes left whip horse goes right and bye bye 7.  She'll be sat down for that too.  That inquiry took way too long too.  Bonehead bitch!

I got SPA race 7 studied and wagered.  #7 using with ALL also using with 358.

Now onto KD for their 10th.  Jose Ortiz there today representing the SPA boys with Saez and Rosario.

KD 10th - #7 and ALL and with 3 8 13 too. 

Get to relax, already caught up on sleep and get ahead with racing going forward.   tmbz1

Life gives me lemons, I made lemon grenades and tossed them on my losing streak!   ngc3

This link is an accurate description of my betting today. No posts on here, was working with my boss.
3 pick 5's at the SPA totalling $384. I went 2 of 5, 1 of 5 and 1 of 5. Then two pick 5's at Indiana totalling $220.
I went 2 of 5 and 2 out of 5...and if that isn't putrid enough, I had a $160 loser at Kentucky Downs where I went 4 of 5 missing my single with Rosario on the 9 in race 6.and a losing $72 ticket at Del-Mar. So a $836 loss. Ouch.

Yeah del Mar is cooked.. I know better then to bet there but I did anyway. This one at Mohawk is shaping up good. 3rd choice race 1 and 5th choice race 2.. I've just been off the last 2 days..lots on my mind.  probably should not have been betting  the last few days. Tomorrow would of been my Dad's birthday.. he passed away last November from cancer.

Thanks man. Yeah this year at the LBJ will be rough without him being there. Him, me and my older brother had our betting systems there down to a T. My brother and I, who lives walking distance to the fairgrounds have already talked about our new systems. He will definitely send us a few winners... but fuck the betting, just the commradere between father and sons will be sorely missed. His first LBJ was Most Happy Fella..1970 I love when Stanley Dancer throws his whip at the finish line

Holy shit I got almost $800 from that.. What happened to make the payout that big? 7 a non starter maybe
 The will pay was $487.19 and I got $798.61.

The 3 scratched but usually you get the post time favorite if he was in the all early. 

Check again and report back, more great news regardless!  ngc3

3 was scratched before  I wagered. I have no idea? Not that I'm complaining  ngc3.  I switched tracks while the inquiry sign was up because I knew it didn't affect the winner

Did you get a 4/5 at Del Mar?

Something caused the payout probable to change to the actual payout, maybe a mistake in the payout probable?

Yes.. total scorcher.. got both singles through, but lost leg 2. The 1 came from 20 lengths behind and won race 5. He was weaving in and out through horse like a pissed off driver at rush hour. It was impressive to watch except the losing part ngc3. One of my selections.. the 3 ran 2nd. If you are bored rematch it and focus on the 1.. pretty crazy

Not to beat a dead horse, but I have no clue. It has to do with 7 breaking well before the start.

He avoided the scorching fractions, he rode the rail like a pro, just though had to maneuver away from running into the 6 at high speed / or by a dead horse what have you.

He won like a hot knife through butter.  ;D

Nope, the 7 was inside the fair start pole and received a fair start, no scratch, no nothing.

Check the probable payouts on your adw, maybe mine was off.

I rewatched the race and my video cuts off before the inquiry is finished. Your adw was showing the same will pay as mine was..$487.19.. but I got the $798.61 paid into my account  ;D

I checked USD conversion over CAD just to see if it was first reported in one and paid in the other, nope.  No carryover from Tuesday either, just a misreporting thus far.
