Like to see him win with Fed Fever at 16-1 in the 1st.

These races today don't look so good. Only three or four are worth playing at Arlington. Lots of scratches at Saratoga. GP looks just "meh". WOX has practically nothing.

Anybody else playing today?....Mia Mischief in the 8th race is a vulnerable favorite...in race 7 the 8-Six Percent may just get this race handed to him off a frenetic pace...in the finale, race 12 the 5-Take Charge Aubrey is my pick, but won't be anywhere near the 12-1 m/l...also in that race the 6-Our Circle of Love and the 7-Hollywood Glory could add some money to the exotics, but many other in this race are worthy (1, 3, 8, 10 as well as the two facing winners for the 1st time-the 11 and 12)...wide, wide open

good luck

8th race Mo Diddley shit field horse cutting back

Working this Sat (and Grandkids are here), but looking forward to the card. Going to have to crush the handicapping tomorrow before/during work.

looking forward to your thoughts. someone on reddit also posted a pretty thorough write-up of today's card. we're hosting a bbq today so i don't know how much i can pay attention but i got a notification for sadler's joy in the 10th so i'll at least peek.

Bowling Green is a met grinder 7 or 8 can win and you can make a case for good luck

In the Jim Dandy, race 11 at SAR:

Global Campaign looks like the Real Deal Holyfield. I have him on top at 2-1 FV.

Tax could be worth a shot in here at 8-1.

War of Will is just a bum slayer. Way overpriced at 5-2.

Global Campaign, Tacitus and Tax in that order.

9th race pick 3 1-1/2/5/12-6

I'll be trying to beat Bellafina and McKinzie in the PK-5 today. I might single Brown's horse in the Test.

Not being able to have the time to adequately handicap Saratoga is frustrating...a couple horses to watch today that might be good values...2nd race 2-Dubai Bobby out of Shaghai Bobby whose offspring do quite well here at the Spa...race 4 the 4-Applicator...Linda Rice claim is in great form and should get a nice trip...Race 5 the 2-Disco Partner should still offer value in the short field...Race 6 is maidens and I'm a big fan of MuchoMachaMan's sire's and his son the 1-Muchacho gets the rail and hopefully a solid ride by Franco..7th Race with Control Group scratching, I think the best horse left by far is the 8-Ticonderoga trained by Chad Brown...may end up singling him here...2-Bellafina could also be a single in the 8th Race as well, but I'll take a closer look at Browns horse (per JORR)...in the Whitney while McKenzie is a horse I respect and admired all year long, I think the 8-Preservationist is just in incredible form...3/1 on him would be stellar

Good Luck everyone!

yeah, not even close...Disco Partner ran well, as did McKinzie, but Ticonderoga left way to much work to do early and couldn't get it done. Graveyard of handicappers. Anybody playing tomorrow?

I'll be at the window

I'm interested in the 11th race. Not sure exactly how I'm going to play it, but there are a couple horses that should be big prices from whom I expect improvement. The 10 horse Doswell figures to be the favorite, but he certainly doesn't have to hit the exacta.

The game has gotten so tough with the way the tracks are set up for speed along with EPO programs and horses that just don't get tired. My whole game is based on identifying bad favorites and potential pace meltdowns. I was sure there was going to be a hellacious speed duel in the Test yesterday, I got exactly the set-up I wanted and those two horses just didn't stop. It's become a speed game. Very tough to beat the algorithm guys on dirt.

Nope. I'll be using 3, 5, and 8 in some combination. If one of them hits the ticket, I'll likely be going home real happy. If two of them make up the exacta I might buy a Maybach and park it on Hatchetman's lawn.

Duress is scratched. 3 and 8 will be my keys.

The Maple Spa in Lisle always had a happy ending!

Your criminal got that one, Walt! I think I see the EPO leaking from their nostrils.

Wed at the Spa. Ahhhhh

Late pick 5 thoughts

Race 6-Trying to beat the juiced up favorite Uncle Benny...the 2-Elektronic, the 4-Neverland Rock the 7-Archidust and the 10-Pyron all offer value

Race 7-Huge pace advantage to the 6-Hardcore Folklore who will close into a ton of pace up front

Race 8-First of two wide open races...ended up on 3-Clench 5-Golden Tiger the 6-Replete (sleeper and a favorit word of mine) and the the7-Craes 8-El Aseino and 9-Creative Style

Race 9-Throw a dart...wide open Sea Foam is a personal favorite but many can win

Race 10-I like the 8-Gisell and the 10-Ghostly Beauty

Good luck, you're going to need it...

Race6-Check.

Race 7-Check.Check

Now, who the f*ck knows

Check. Race 8-Got the 9-Creative Style home at a huge price, but when you select 5 horses that'll happen.

No Check.Race 9-Sea Foam was strong but just faded against stronger

Hoping the 8-Sweet Gisell or the 10-Ghostly Beauty offer some value in the finale.

They did not.
