Pick 5: All/4/All/9/All....$90 beans total.
Let's hope for a price in the odd numbered races

Are you Howard Oil?

No lol  and I wouldn't sound like him even if I was being choked, had a bad cold, you squeezed my nose closed when the gate opened.

I never consciously wanted to or tried to call a race.

Once, when Jazil won the Belmont Stakes I wrote down exactly what would happen, call by call including him winning and the the finishing time down to the 1/5th second, and nailed it.  I also stand by the statement the track was GOOD during that race not FAST.

Bruce Levine gets this loser horse to race giant race 1.

I'm still getting skunked in this new meet. Belmont at Saratoga was all speed and I took advantage of that. Track has changed a bit. Rail may no longer be the place to be.

Race 2
#4 Simply seems to have a class edge on these. Raced well lone try at the Spa.

Bonus race 1 Monmouth

#3 Diamondinthesand. I really like this one. Big middle move last at Big A. Nice tightener as she ships to Monmouth to face restricted NJ breds

Maury Povich's horse takes race 2. I could have sworn he was as dead as I am with my selections

Nice catch seeing that.

Was his first time listed as a horse owner.

He's 1/1.

I believe so. He has a horse called MOPO which may ship in. Also first Saratoga win for CE Lopez who is pretty good.

Maury... I got it, first win only under his legal name.

Okay  I used to make a 2 weekend excursion to the Spa which I stopped doing 5 years ago due to a fluke injury making flying somewaht difficult.

My wife knew how badly I sucked at the Spa and basically empty my bank account so I couldn't use the machine of death. THE ATM. Now I am emptying out my ADW account, but bet peanuts there. These days I only send it in at the Meadows.

Lets take a stab at the following horizontals.

DD  346/9   P3  346/9/15    p5   346/9/15/35/13


Late Daily DD   Cold Punch   Thirteen/Fourteen

Zayde duties. Need to go.   Good Luck...And lay off me selections if you know what is good for you!

[Trigger]

I'll take my lumps for the 7th race today, because I feel partially vindicated in my handicapping and those 2 fake ass favs exposed.

I should of been suspicious of the price on the #2, $31.20, when in fact she should of been twice that or more in that field, even with 6 horses.

The 1 & 3, yeh, ok!   

Finish was 2 4 6 3 and big payouts.

My selections finished 2nd 3rd and 5th.  The 7 did disappoint, blew her load in her workout as she shipped in well! Even a 4th for the #7 I would of got paid with sup x with all, but nope.  The 4 (14-1) beat the 3 (2-1), another good suspicion .

This is going to be a great season at the SPA, I'm really feeling it.

Down 4 1/2 beans for the week.

Tomorrow!

Right church.

Wrong pew.

Right church.

Wrong pew.

 

Amen to that.
 
Very healthy payouts for a 6 horse field too, and the super with the 3 on the dime, nuts.  It also makes proportional type small field payout situations in harness racing look ridiculous i.e. Mohawk, Yonkers:

$1 EXACTA              2/4    $180.75
$0.50 TRIFECTA    2/4/6    $334.75
$0.10 SUPERFECTA    2/4/6/3    $210.20
