SPA Day XXIX, Sunday, 8/17/25

[Sweet]

I got a feeling you are gonna hit a couple today

 

Why thank you, a stretch for moi lately but I'd be thrilled with 50% fer sur, and you all bring all your p5s home - winners - and so far so good as both you and Bello are off to a great start! 

I re-tabulated my win / losses for the last 3 weeks.  The 3rd back is still good, the last 2 not which includes this one, but bad but not as bad.

From this point on I'll just call a playing day a win, loss or draw.  However I need to wait til last race Sunday to add up all the deposits and rebate deposits and bonus deposits / against / withdrawals and cash in account.  The numbers for the last 2 weeks is off by a grand, what happens when you bet off same day winnings when ya have, though lately they're hard to come by!   

Money in & money out / left in the account, that I have not computed correctly and it's all that matters.

I meant his Spa Pick 5.. I twisted his arm and he played the ticket he posted.. it didn't take much twisting... so he has one cooking at Monmouth and the Spa

[JT]

Yes good hit at Ellis.. just need Frenchman Geroux to come through in race 3 and a couple bombs after that.

Excellent, I hate when he tempts fate like that, and Monmouth is cooked so real happy he's alive there.

Grampa duty when I was a kid was the track, but his grandson ain't going to grow up to be no plopper gambler.

Exactly.. you can't post a ticket and not play it.. he plays a lot of chalk, not that there is anything wrong with that. He is on a limited budget and tries to get them by death by paper cut. He is an excellent handicapper.

Bello is a seasoned gambler, whether he got closed out or intentionally missed the play, even if it paid a couple hundred, not going to send him to regretville.  Putting the tix numbers in wrong is unacceptable and gets to me, I'm a stickler usually for double-checking.

But I see his logic, the thrill of not betting and saving your money after a valiant handicapping session on a very tough long wager.  Like a split personality thing rooting against yourself.

Must be Dim Bulb Day in the Harness Section!   

[Sweet]

Just make that mother fucker official (Ellis)!

Wow awesome JT!   

And $16 horse at the SPA 2nd, wow, 1 to go there.

Sorry bello, but have no regrets ever, he is a master handicapper and harness winning machine!

I quadruple checked what I put on here today because of my fuck up yesterday posting the 5 instead of the 6. I got to get in the habit of previewing my posts.. especially wagers

[JT]

Oops it posted twice.. damn I'm still screwing up

[Sweet]

Oops it posted twice.. damn I'm still screwing up

You can remove it.  Just decide between the one that says FUCK or FUCKING 

No one was pushing there horse and FG starts pushing around the turn and making no progress, falls back a bit from the turn, but like all of a sudden that horse responded, then the 2 coming and rejected yeh that was a great race!
