Live Handicapping Saturday 8/16/25

[Michelangelo]

Mneumy and Niko finished with winning days yesterday. Let's get three or four of us in the winning column today.

Woodbine has the Big Card today. King's Plate etc, etc.

Saratoga starts at 12:35 today. Woodbine 12:45. Both are listed as "fast and firm".

All are welcome to participate with us. If you do the only rule is that you keep an honest running record of your play.

Thanks and good luck.

Good stuff, Niko. Paying attention to Saratoga's bias two weeks ago is what gave me the confidence to make $20.00 exactas with Sierra Leone (only real closer) on top. Speed hadn't held on the dirt all day.

Good info. I usually try to keep my eye on tracks speed vs. closers. Track biases
Good luck all today and hope all of us have winning days.
Feel confident we can do that.
