Live Handicapping Saturday 7/5/25

[Michelangelo]

Only Akers was a winner in yesterday's thread. The rest of us didn't get killed but coming out in the red is never fun. Congrats Akers. I'm guessing that we are gonna have a bang up day today.

As of right now I'm showing "fast and firm" for Indy, Delaware, and Saratoga.

All are welcome to participate. The only requirement is that you keep a running total of your action.

Thanks and good luck.

I'm glad I got out when I did yesterday. Enjoyed some fantastic ribs from the ol' green egg. Way better than the beating I was taking here.
But today is a new day and I have a nice bankroll to attack Indy Derby day thanks to a tournament win earlier in the week. The Indiana card looks tremendous. A lot of suspect favorites. Same thing at Woodbine. Saratoga looks chalkie as hell to me.
Best of luck to everyone posting - bounce back day!

I agree Saratoga looks awful chalky the first 4/5 races.
Indy good card.
Go get them all.

The #4 wins at 9-1 in the 1st at Ind. Looking back it makes a lot of sense - Back under Bermudez (who was aboard for the maiden win) and making second try against winners. Beyers went 44-65-77 in first three tries. I usually jump all over improvers like that. Can't believe I missed it. Hope this isn't an omen.

Those ribs sound great. All I've heard is good things about that "green egg".

"Bounce back day" indeed.

Haven't had a chance to see anything yet but one of my buddies texted me that there was at least one track record set yesterday at Indy. Maybe two. I asked him if that meant speed was holding. He never answered that. Was the record on turf or dirt. He didn't answer that either. Fairness to him he was on his way to Monmouth.
