Post subject: | Racing 6/28 thru Weekend |
Beautiful day for racing at Arlington. Sloppy track at Belmont, fast at Churchill and Gulfstream. Some higher stakes races later at Churchill. Going to even take a look at Prairie Meadows today. I noticed Acacia Courtney is not doing the commentary anymore at Gulfstream. Too bad. What a hottie! A former Ms. Connecticut, ballerina and is smart, too. But I think that Gabby Gaudet is the better handicapper. She gets them right a lot. |

I gave my picks in the Chicago Handicap. According to you, no one should be happy to win. You're free to dazzle us all with your picks and insights, W_Z. Some people are a little touchy around here. Once upon a time the horse racing threads were less caustic and more collegial. |

I’m a Scorpio too! So are you all over Harkans Hall in R6 at Prairie? |

I think Bryzzo has a shot in the 7th at CD. |

Might be worth a gamble at 8-1, but the odds will probably shorten up. I like Free Kitty in the 8th coming up here at Belmont. |

Aced My Finals being way overbet at PM in the 4th at 1/9 odds after faltering in his last race. I got him with only a 30% winning prob. Let's hope Holiday Joke and Skippy's Strike pushes Aced My Finals hard on the pace. Looking at True Power for the upset with a 27% winning estimate. 99-1 versus 5/1 on the M/L. That's crazy. *True Power now down to 50-1 with 7 mins. before PT. |

Nope, didn't work out this time. Looked like he was vulnerable. I had True Power to place, too, which he did. Would have been better at 99-1, but those odds dropped drastically by PT. Went off at 11-1, but paid a paltry $4.40 to place. |

17-1 on Harkins Hall. Did W_Z see something in his crystal ball? For $2 why not? Let it ride. |

been waiting forever for graydar's resolve to break his maiden; he's been short prices last few races and hasn't really been impressive. R5 at Gulfstream today, again short price at 5-2. not really sure what people see in him...i've been waiting for him to drop so it's worth betting on. |

Had Triple Dog Dare, Teletap and Dreams Point in the 7th at CD for the Exa. About time. Brad Cox is a good trainer. I see him win all the time. The odds today have been terrible. Favorites have done ok, but not getting any odds. |

He's worth it at 5-2. 6-5 is close to fair value. I'd rather try to beat him with Yesus Star at 10-1 on the class drop. He's sired by Scat Daddy. Win, place. |

Just had my best result of the day. Had May Be a Diamond and Stapleton in the 5th at Belmont, both win and place. Came in #6 and #2. Gonna take the money and call it a day. The reason I don't like to post my picks before the race is out of superstition. Have a good afternoon y'all. |

There really needs to be some policing of the parimutuel outfits to curtail the adjustment of odds following the start of races. I know the tracks argue the odds are still settling from electronic wagering after the start, but those adjustments are happening as late as the final stretches now. In other words, the public is being fleeced big-time and the tracks are getting away with it. There needs to be a fixed time when the wagering is closed before the start of the races. I hardly saw any fair value odds on the favorites the last couple of days. They're all being priced as underlays and then get worse odds following the post. Even that maiden horse that W_Z was talking about, Graydar, at Gulfstream turned out to be an underlay. He was fair value at 6-5 versus M/L of 5/2, but finished shorter than 1-1. It's very frustrating, because you want to participate, but like in the movie War Games, the best move often is not to play, or at least not to play the favorites. The odds are just not there. |

I'm glad that the officials at Parx cancelled races the last two days, because of the heat wave in the East. Could have killed the horses. Unlike Arlington this past weekend, who couldn't make that easy and humane call. |

The ROI strategy in the program that I offer is what can save you from making bad bets. It's had a lot of success today at Belmont, GP and even Monmouth. You have to stay disciplined and not bet a horse as an underlay, because it's the live odds favorite. Rather, that's the horse you are trying to beat. JORR impressed this wisdom on my brain some time ago, and he couldn't have been more right. If you're not getting the odds, you just pass on the race, like folding a bad poker hand, and wait for the right setup in the next one. |
