Gambling Day IX, Thursday, 9/11/25 🇺🇸

[Trigger]

Bad month, succeeded by a 1/8 fresh start that turned ugly quickly, coming off a win, which came off a 1/5 day, wow, like a call from the governor to the warden and they take you out of the electric chair 5 seconds before they flip the switch at midnight. 

Today's handicapping menu, 4 tracks (Delaware, Indiana, Churchill Downs and Remington), 5 races therein and those races are going to be all on the dirt, but regardless, no precipitation forecasted means FAST.

They're all Maiden Special Weight's, and yes no B@A even though opening day which is a shitty card; selections and wagers coming soon  :

Delaware
(12:45 pm) Race 1 -
(3:25 pm) Race 6 -

Indiana
(5:47pm) Race 8 -

Churchill Downs
(7:28pm) Race 6 -

Remington
(9:20pm) Race 6 -

It's going to be a beautiful day at the races today, won't you be mine, won't you be my winning neighbor!

Delaware
Race 1    7.00    WIN    1    7.00

[Trigger]

And an itch for this one too:

Delaware
Race 1    7.00    WIN    1    7.00

That was a good itch like they should scratched this sucker  ngc3made a sharp right hand turn and wanted to leave the track  .  Got back less than half what I wagered.  The 4 took a lot of money, first time starter, 6-1ml went off at 3/2 and with top trainer, made it happen.  6 finished 2nd! 

[Trigger]

Total out of pocket invested today $368.  These are the rest of the selections and wagers:

Delaware
(12:45 pm) Race 1 - 6/12/all (wagered $92.60 got $41 back)
(3:25 pm) Race 6 - 4/25/all

Indiana

Churchill Downs

Delaware 6th another 2nd, but he 2 key chalk were there so got back over 80 for that one.  2 down 3 to go!

At Remington 6th my key horse #5 a 20ml scratched so those all those previous posted wagers are now redone:

  Remington Park                82.00
   Race 6    0.40    SPR    2+6+8 / 2+6+8 / 2+6+8 / 1+2+3+4+6+7+8+9+10    NaN.00

Indiana 8th key horse ran second again, that's 3/3 on seconds today, however I did not capitalize at all.  The #1 was a mdn special weight they dropped in 15k claimers did nothing put her in here back in mdn sp weight a week later.  Goes off 9/2 was the tell.

Moral of the story, if you're going to bet individual races scattered like I did today, wait for the live odds and bet within 10 minutes of the race.  That's 2 horses that got bet down heavy, this race and Delaware 1st that just didn't figure so something was up....like the needle!

Churchill Downs race 6 - A Fine Chardonnay wins at 45-1, what did I miss???

Owner corp never raced, bought horse in May for $85k, behind it is Phillip Greisinger who in 2014 went 3 - 1-0-1 for $10,308.  Neither Sire nor Dam nor Grandam won at 2 years old and the females not so hot.  Workouts mediocre to not so great.  Trainer not having a career year.  Jockey while very good and at home had competition.

The trainer is a 5%+ roi on dirt in 170 races winning at 15%.  Total means what don't underestimate him?

If you had a z or x at the end of your name you won the first 6 at CD. 

[Trigger]

Have a losing day because a 6/5 can't beat a 77-1 for fourth at Remington 6th race  , that's gambling!  Would of had that sup for .20 but likely would of still been a loss.  Cashed tickets but on $368 committed for the day lost $202.31.  1/9.

There is really nothing more unknown than Maiden races, especially when there are a number of first time starters in there, and I need to get my handicapping, instincts and wagering strategies peeked so going to do this again tomorrow!
