Grand River (Matinee card), Monday, 8/4/25 Belles & Waterloo Final

[JT]

I could never do this ...But I love rooting for you. Rachel Sells at 1-5 in race 1.  I havent tuned into FL much this year, but last year I think she started at something like 3-100

Thanks bello.. i wouldn't do it if I could not afford it. I set a weekly budget. My wife and I work our asses off and we all have our vices.

Red Mile race 12 -

The story, it's short, Dougie McNair came all the way in from Mohawk to Kentucky to QUA the horse, #2 Bank On Me.  Maybe for his bro (purchase potential?), maybe for the trainer.  I'm going $462 on the race.  He broke last out so I will have the cancellation button on standby.

we are all cheering you home JT

I like the all button-and it certainly took balls singling anything trained by Rachel Sells--a notorious 5% win percentage trainer

lets get the #1 home in race 2 then let the racing gods take over

[JT]

Sir Bello--i miss the days when it was just me and you on another site and we did Freehold every race everyday-we had tons of fun and made some decent scores

I guess this was about 15 years ago

fascinating how horse racing can create bonds that last decades--and here we are now

Great story and yes it can.. there are people i see only during LBJ week and we start off the conversation right where we left it off from the previous year

[Trigger]

This bet started in race 1 but I get the drift. One leg down..now we need the 1 and at least 2 bombs.. but first things first and that is to get the 1 home in leg 2

My bad on wrong race, maybe I shouldn't be wagering today LOL   

Motherfucking #1, DO IT!

Yeah, Freehold was my go to track until the very end. I kept in touch with Josh for a long time on text and email, than he stopped responding. I am worried about him. We often hung together on my trips to Vancouver. I finally met Phil Boston Horses last year.

We're chatting, he breaks, recovers and wins, another outcome.

Rarely happens, but...

[Trigger]

6 fuckface with his look back around the turn, motherfucker thought wow, I got this, NOT!

I love JT!

b2b2b2b longshots please!   

[bello]

Thanks bello.. i wouldn't do it if I could not afford it. I set a weekly budget. My wife and I work our asses off and we all have our vices.

When I was working I would travel every week and hit virtually every track in the country. Typical bet was $50 to win and $20 exactas if I had any. Also $20 dds.

Now I have unexpected family expenses and retired.  Bets dwindled to 2 to 10 dollars per race.

[JT]

Phew!! that was close, now we just sit back and pray for a few bombs. It very well could be a massive losing ticket.. I've seen pick 5's there pay 20 bucks lol

[bello]

Finger Lakes Pick 5
3/1 all/all/all
$144
This could be a bad loss even if it comes in..

Fucker made you sweat

Saratoga race 6  p3  25/57/34

GRAND RIVER r 3
Crazed front end sets up a very logical 8-1 quebec closer..the horse in the hands now if mr Dom.Gladu, at .298, with Samuel Fillion (no realtion to legendary Filion clan) a VERY CAPABLE B track Canadian driver, circles and gets it late in lanefrom the trailing #9 post.

And the tote board rejoices.

Da pool...

PICK FIVE    $40,864

yeah-that was me also from about 1985-2010--not every race of course

then the rebates(which NJ doesn't allow) started, that tilted everything against me....and the betting after the bell got much worse-so now its strictly recreational and I pick my spots very carefully--and almost always just a win bet
the exotics are slammed by the CAW action even more than the win pool

I can see why Trigger and others play exotics.... they are receiving a rebate
