Live Handicapping Monday 2/17/25

[Michelangelo]

OK boys, we have a bonus day this weekend. Unfortunately there is only one early track on the turf - Fair Grounds. And Aqueduct has cancelled their card. But we have some lesser tracks.

All welcome to participate. Keep a running record.

Thanks and good luck.

Shit. Tracks are closing. Mahoning Valley and PARX have both cancelled due to weather.

Looks like we're down to Oaklawn, Fair Grounds, Turf Paradise (I don't recall ever betting this track), and Santa Anita.

First posts are Oaklawn @ 1:30 Eastern and Fair Grounds @ 1:45 Eastern.

Damn. I was looking forward to our bonus day. But it's been cut off at the fetlocks.

See you all in a while.

Good luck today Mich., this weather really sucks.

Cold and big windy here today, Joe. Everything froze last night. There was at least an eighth of an inch of ice coating my car this morning. Took me more than a half hour of engine running to defrost it. Temperature is not expected to go above freezing until next Sunday. And then only to 34. Cold assed winter.

Same situation here weather wise, really depressing. Maybe some winners will help out, I had the #7 circled too.

Bad handicapping on my part. And I spent a lot of time on the race. But I failed to identify the speed. Cost me.
