What do you know. Going to the Lead went to the lead and never looked back.

9.60 x 8 = 76.80

-362.00 -16.00 = -378.00
+426.25 +76.80 = +503.05

What a meet for Wesley Ward, ninja. Fitting that he should win the last race of the met.

6.00 x 18 = 108.00

-378.00 -36.00 = -414.00
+503.05 +108.00 = +611.05

Whew the #6 won easy enough at 11-1 but the #7 who I thought was a cinch for second (@ 5-1) just hung on to beat a mad closing #4 (14-1) on the rail. Whew. Woulda been pissed if a wasted an 11-1 winner.

130.40 x 2 = 260.80

-414.00 -24.00 = -438.00
+611.05 +260.80 = 871.85

Good to see you, Niko. Been pretty lonely in here today. Hit a 10 cent super (rarely pplay) but my key horse was 46-1. He ran third and made it. I used him in three places. And hit a nice exacta twice. Those were the good ones. Needed a good day. You know it.

Nope. The #7 came out bad. Loser.

-450.00 -24.00 =-474.00
+871.85

Pissed. Got distracted and missed Pratt on a horse that was an overlay for Pratt. Coming right back with him on a lightly raced 4 yo who hasn't raced since Octobe. I'll take my chaces that D'Amato has him ready.

Two horse race. Who got up? Pratt, of course.

12.00 x 8 = 96.00

-474.00 -16.00 =-490.00
+871.85 +96.00 = +967.85

Wrong. They never asked him to go early. Loser.

Nicely done, Mich!!

 

[Michelangelo]

Thank you, guys. Was wondering where you all were yesterday.

Jack, You've been scarce lately. Everything OK?

Prof, Thanks. Would love if you would would join in with us live and share a bit of yor handicapping wisdom. We don't do it every race but our reasoning gets mixed in from time to time.

G&T, Missed you and Niko yesterday.
