Title: Trigger's Wagering Day 2 $500 - Sunday, 1/4/26
Post by: Trigger on January 04, 2026, 10:24:42 AM
Off to a chilly start with the first 3 races yesterday, invested $1k and got back $150, at a loss of $850.

I'm going to pursue two races today, if all the key horses are scratched the race might be too.

Oaklawn Park, Race 9 (455pm) - 3,4,7

Santa Anita, Race 6 (543pm) - 2/ALL, 5/2/ALL

Both tracks look fast.

This today would make it races 5 / 50 for the year.  With the slower start of the handicapping sucking I dropped my wagering to $250 per race today.  This is ok, because if I like horses running and feel real confident in bigger races over the year I can bet more on them.  As long as I stick to 50 races and a $25k budget for 2026 (I will do!  tmbz1) it will of course avg out $500 per race avg.

You post your wagers, Good Luck to you  tmbz1, otherwise, drop dead!  ;D

I didn't get the memo lol, I just saw that today was cancelled.  Fucking Equibase doesn't take down entries, I saw it in their scratches and changes section.  My focus yesterday was 1 Mohawk race, an 2 Oaklawn Park, oblivious to everything else.

Here is Oaklawn Park... ;D

Hey it's plenty of action betting one 6 furl race for 250, you spend the whole day irritated, and when you lose, worse.  ngc3

One I start doing the next 3 we'll see if I can win at this thing!  ngc3

Point of this new order was for me to even take longer to formulate opportunities, like a week avg for a race.

Build a stable, and await the right opportunities.

Do a lot of homework.

That is exactly the opposite of my gambling.

Sports are $10-$20 bets. Today was poor because Man City )ML -190) gave up the tying (losing) goal in the 94th minute.

My horse betting is either $1-$5 a race or ~$150-$200 for a carryover pick-5. THEN, I spend hours and hours on it. But I'm losing interest in that too.

I also bet a lot against a friend. We watch Sky 1  and bet every single race while on the phone.

I haven't started my talent search yet, just what I see.

My handicapping well, look who beat me at Oaklawn yesterday, jockey and trainer big O'fers.

I started looking at Tampa for Wednesday, going to go a G on that card.  it just remains to be seen if it is Fast and Firm or Fast and Off turf, I'll study for both.

Either way I have to dedicate a lot of time looking at the 2 yo's from last year in both harness and t-breds, the future horses I'll revisit for t-breds and all the top money earned and wins in both, and start watching tons of replays, especially maidens so I can get the talent fairly young.

WTF is going on in that section, it's like a bunch of old whiny assholes, jealous, none I imagine saw much of any success if berating those that do for small weak points....not everyone, but smart, experienced members are not engaging that often there..so much anger, you want me there to what further scramble their brains lol.. ngc3

The Stalbaum thread produced a Stalbaum exacta, did anyone win on that, the tri...and Noble wins 1/3, 1/2, even more races, there's a lot of opportunities in those threads.  Those guys I appreciate, chasing talent.

We'll see in the future right now I have a $25k challenge.
