Vince, JORR, where are you leaning?



Wise Dan, Data Link and Stormy in a Tri Box?

spmack has become a pony chaser. When did this interest begin? 8 or so threads on horses in the last 4 months and nothing prior as best I can tell.

I used to only do the Triple Crown races every year, bet 20-30 bucks on a few to win, and that was it.




This was the first year I started getting into exotics, and I hit on a Tri and Super during the Preakness, and I've been hooked on it ever since......but never to a JORR like level :D , just always a few bucks here and there. And it's also something that both me and the GF enjoy, and we don't have much in common.

I'll be going out to the Arlington Millions next weekend.

This right here is enough. The winning is a bonus too.

Yeah, I was done with it after the Belmont, but she kept asking about the next race. And it kind of went from there.

Really looking forward to the Travers in a few weeks, too.

I haven't really looked at that race. But I remember Fourstar Dave and Fourstar's All Star. I think they were brothers. They were both pretty good horses but damn near unbeatable at the Spa. They would roll in there every summer and beat horses they could never beat anywhere else. Horse for course. Saratoga.

Interesting race....need to look deeper but at first glance, I like the rail horse - Data Link. Looks like he will show more speed on Saturday given his recent workout and that would be my big concern - can he stay out of trouble in the bigger field?

Wise Dan - Data Link - Guys Reward - Upgrade.




Really intrigued by Guys Reward, he's won 3 in a row, and has at least showed in his last 6.

2nd week in a row I would have hit had I done the Exacta. Dammit.

In the end, it was a chalky race, after the others scratched. And I always try to box the chalk. But for some reason, I didn't look hard enough at the chart!!!!!!!


You old guys have got to give me more advice, because I've missed out on nearly $3k in the past 2 weeks had I boxed these races. :oops: :evil: :cry:





Next week is the Arlington Million, and there's a good chance I'll be there. I read on DRF that there may be as many as 11 horses in the race, including some local horses. Right now, I'm liking Little Mike.

Didn't Corporate Jungle finish second?

Regardless, that is why Exactas are usually my wager of choice. I win just often enough to keep me coming back for more.

And like someone said, consider giving keying a try. At times it makes more sense than boxing and costs less money.
