SPA Wednesday, Day X, 7/23/25

[Trigger]

The SPA weather is beautiful and the track should remain Fast and Firm.

The card sucks, a stakes hurdle and a bunch of generic races.

Pick 5: 1,2,3,5,6/ All/ 2/ 3,4,5/ 2,3.. $75 beans

[Trigger]

Race 7 (440 pm) -

1A - Rabbit if that today, not even counting on this one for anything but a 4th.

2 - Big speed figure last, KC jumps to the 8, maybe a 4th too.

3 - Contender for 2nd and 3rd although will be fav or co fav.

4 - Contender for 2nd and 3rd although will be fav or co fav.

5 - The Lailman's who claimed this one, have a very good owner / trainer win % but have tailed way off being in the winner circle, 4th is a strectch.

6 - Horse wins and doesn't hit the track for 50 days, a problem, now adding 1/2 furlong, don't see it, 4th a strecth.

7 - The projected winner, raced 13 days ago and has a history of racing back in 2 weeks or so, very tight, and speed figure going up by double digits.  Got to taste the SPA.  122 2/5 at AQU at this distance with only 1lb more 5 weeks ago.

8 - Rice picked this horse up from Baffert, has done nothing for her or him, turf to dirt switch 24% win and 52% itm for Rice. Dangerous bitch with the needle and raced with better, going to say 2nd or 3rd or 4th here.

Good luck to you to.. I also hit the early pick 4 at Mountaineer yesterday for $229 on a $31 bet. On a little mini heater knock on wood.

Bro, that's amazing.  Nothing I would attempt I do not follow WV, most racing.  Just A tracks and or typically their big stakes in harness and t-breds.

The issue I have with multi-leg wagers is I feel compelled to back up my selections with individual race bets, and smaller multi-leg, dds, p3s and it's a big $ commitment.

The handicapping is different, one seeking winners opposed to the other seeking out the placers for the same race exotics.

It's all good!

Betting #7 Remi's Moon in the 5th at the Spa. Trainer doesn't run much at the Spa, but he sharp at placing his limited stable. $20WIN $100Place on this one.

I usually back up my pick 5's with small exactas, tri's and super's no dd or pick 3's.. I just pick 1 or 2 tracks a day and roll with it

Keep it up, 3 down at the SPA and great single in the 4th!

Thanks, that race was pretty easy looking at it.. I really wish 6 could of held on in race 3.. much higher potential payout

[JT]

Pick 5: 3,4,5/2,3/4/2,3,4,7/1,4,5,7,9.. $60 donuts

[JT]

I'll take a $235 profit from the early pick 5, it would have been a much better payout if 6 held on in race 3 and 3 held on in race 5.. but it's all good.. it paid for the 2nd pick 5 and then some.

Very well done and keep it up JT!
