Saratoga Full Meet

[Michelangelo]

I agree, but gonna take shot on the 1 and 7

You were braver than me MG&T.

 

[Michelangelo]

Well Saez horse went to the lead as expected and folded down the stretch as he had in his last. A 7-1 horse ran first and a 13-1 horse ran second. Wish I could have figured it out but I couldn't.

Finished with a winner.

1-8 paid 26.60

26.60 x 4 = 106.40

-108.00 -28.00 = -136.00
+226.60 +106.40 = +333.00

Thread to date:

-864.00 -136.00 = -1000.00 (that's a little crazy!)
+505.60 +333.00 = +838.60

See you guys tomorrow. I think. Might be heading up to the track.

Thanks, Niko. Thank God for Delaware Park. I had two "plays" there yesterday. They both won. One at 20-1. The other at 12-1. Saratoga - bad day.

The races are off the turf today at Saratoga. The track is sloppy. Not what I was hoping for but I'll be back giving it my best.

Good start. Note for anybody here that the first three finishers ran basically together in front of the rest of the field all the way around the track and drew away in the stretch. Very possibly this is a strong speed track.

5-6 exacta paid 89.50

89.50 x 1 1/2 = 134.25

-24.00
+134.25

Good way for you to start as well Michel. I like those sloppy tracks, see what happens today.

So much for the speed bias. Forget it.

And not using the #2 as the key horse was just plain stupid.

I got snookered. This horse should have been 1-1. Instead went off 2-1. That wasn't a good sign. And the horse ran accordingly. Shit.

-42.00 -48.00 = -90.00
+134.25

 

[charliepeete]

4th?

 

[Michelangelo]

Didn't like the race (4th) charlie. Looking at the fifth now.

 

[Michelangelo]

Don't like the fifth either. Maybe the sixth.
