*SPA XXVIII, Saturday, 8/16/25 - Major US, CAN Stakes*

[bello]

Focus today is on harness. Went 11-13 at meadows last night. But as usual I handicrapped the Spa so here goes the losers.

Way to think positive Very tough early sequence at the Spa.

[JT]

Two big bets to build up my bankroll for Scioto tonight..I will also be playing one at Woodbine t- bred.. Will post soon. Pick 5 at Woodbine starts in race 2.

Spa Pick 5
ALL/ALL/ALL/5/5,6
$168 bucks... it cost an extra $84 bucks to throw Irad on the ticket in race 5, but I just couldn't leave him out on a long turf race. One thing is for certain. I will be alive going into leg 4.

Gulfstream Pick 5
2,5,9/4,5,7,8,10,12/1/4,5,7,8,9/3,4,8
$135 beans...There have been lots of close calls for a 4 figure hit at Gulfstream recently. I hit one for $400 last weekend. Due for a tasty hit there.Good Luck to everyone!!

Here is some Monmouth

Race 1  7  win  dd cold punch  7/6   p3  cold punch  7/3/6   p5  7/3/6/14/26

Thanks bello, yes a good start fading the 4 and 5.. I will be pulling for ya at Monmouth. I very rarely play there. Tough track for me.

you were correct, Sir--i did love it

do you know something about your single using the first timer?

if you make it to race 5--you look good if you can beat the Rob Atras horse

good luck

Race 4 at the spa single on the 5.. he has had a start.. with Rosario. Finished a clear 2nd.. kinda got hung up on the rail, but closed well with some urging. I think a post in the middle will benefit him. He was asked at the beginning of the race some as well. Im expecting a typical Rosario type of steer.

good luck of course

As promised a Woodbine Tbred Pick 5.. I hardly ever play there but a $400,000 guarrenteed pool is enticing. The big boy jockeys didn't go there for shits and giggles so I tried to include them in all legs.
3,4,5,6,8/2,4,6,7,9/1,4,5,6/1,3,8,9/2
$80 bucks

Gotcha.. no good in race 2. Bad when the all button is pushed and the favorite wins
