In the spirit of making myself look like an idiot will take one more shot as todays losses haven\'t yet hit that third zero.
8th Justin Philip - never start a pick 3 or 4 with a short priced single,
especially in a 5 horse field
9th Aviate, Strike The Bell, Much Rejoicing
10th Windward Islands, Al Khali, Viscount Nelson, Bim Bam, Straight Story
11th Stay Thirsty, Santiva, Brilliant Speed, Nehro, Mucho Macho Man
1 x 3 x 5 x 5 = $75.00 for a dollar
1 x 3 x 1 x 5 = $15.00 single on Straight Story
1 x 3 x 5 x 1 = $15.00 single on MMM
Good luck,
Frank D.
I made a small pick 4 play also due to the mud
8th: 5 Arch Traveler, 7 J Js Lucky Train
9th: 1 Gypsy\'s Warning, 2 Aviate
10th: 2 Bold Hawk, 3 Windward Islands, 7 Prince Will I am, 9 Straight Story
11th: 4 Santiva, 9 Animal Kingdom, 12 Shackleford
attaboy, Frank...
Had $40 to Win on him Frank....and singled in the Pk 3 with much the same ticket as you!
I like the 2 Top at Belmont Park...a little horse for course play!
Nice start to the pick 4 with the 4/5 betting choices. Crossing my fingers here.
just got killed. never dreamed this horse was fast enough to win that race. i\'m not a mudder. may be the worst off track handicapper in history.
That\'s the theory MJ, eliminate 90 % of the pool.
Let\'s hope we can get lucky with Gio Ponti out as well ?
Good luck all.
I\'m not as worried about Gio with Stay Thirsty singled on the bottom. I don\'t expect to win this bet, but the way I played it here is what I am alive to.

We\'ll see what happens. But that was about as good of a start as possible for me.
Did you single the 1st leg ?
Good Luck guys!!
Not that it might matter becasue we have a couple of Turf races next then the Belmont but.....the last 1/8th there was in 14 Flat and NOBODY made up any real ground.
No. I used the ALL button. Main track is playing quirky and there were only 5. I was going to leave out the #3 but decided what the hell. Wasted some money there.
Well, that was a quick way to burn $2800
An OUCHIE with a back # on a yielding course goes coast to coast in a bog !!!
Where are all the sharpies now ? Not here obviously.
Calling it a day and putting my coffee cans back in the ground and ending a Triple Crown run of a dead rail at CD and a rain soaked Belmont !
Daddy\'s home alone with three kids under the age of 8, so no time to handicap before the 8th.
But I bought the analysis for the first time and bet the recommendations and have been taking a beating with an exception or 2.
But to my credit, I stayed with JB (assuming he did the analysis) on CS Silk in the 9th and I\'ve been listening the Maggie Wolfendale on the NYRA feed (and Serling), so I\'m alive in the P4 to the:
10th: 24567
11th:246/10/12
BTW, I know AK has bad dirt breeding #\'s on TG. His off-track #\'s are even worse, on TG and his Tomlinson\'s suck.
Meanwhile, SHAK and MMM are the only ones with Tomlinsons over 400.
Even at just $.50 it could be a good hit.
Good Luck!!
I took a little Windward here W/P and may just watch next if I go down. Not bad on Off and been running at distances that may provide some juice late
UGH!!!
Probably time to quit. Take a horse with back form of good tactical speed and he is taken to last right out of the gate and maybe never passes a horse until 100 yds to go.
This can be a very humiliating game at times.
Think about how humiliating it is for these world-class jockeys to misread the course and the pace, and by a lot.
Its like the guys in the Capital One commercial
Whats in your wallet??
Free Passes to Rick\'s Cabaret, a few bar chits and my insurance card. I may have to use all three of them.
Some claim.
MJ,
I should have gone Justin Philip / all / all / all it only would have been $ 486.00 for .50 !!!
The smallest pick 4 with AK is 23 k, $ 5,600 and change for .50
There are probably some casual fans at people at BEL who saw that Mission Approved finished 2nd to Gio last time. Oh, and at a longer distance.
Adding him, especially if you already have 5 horses, wouldn\'t be the craziest thing in the world.
The pick for willpays are wild. AK\'s at 23K and nobody else is below 40K
C\'mon Frank.....go out back and dig up the coffee can and bet this race!
Just watching Jack !
Excellent move.....
