Title: Saratoga Sunday Feature
Post by: alm on July 24, 2011, 09:34:55 AM
If Pletcher goes down in the Sanford today, the closing Pick 4 should be bettable.  The 4, 7 or 8 could take this if he doesn\'t?  Opinions?  Am I crazy?

Alm,

I may lead the world in banging my head against the wall, trying to beat favorites that can\'t be beat, but I don\'t think I am tackling Pletcher today in the feature.

The horse had trouble out of the gate, spotted a relatively comfortable lead to a \"well meant\" speedster, and ran him down very easily.  Looks like the real deal to me.

The late pick-4 looks very chalky to me.  Pretty unappetizing.  

Good luck.

Jimbo,

I could not agree more, not a really well bred field for the Sanford. Throw out Moonrush and Overdriven sold for more than the rest of the field combined.

Repole likes to make a big splash and he\'s on center stage today. I\'m searching for prices in the other 3 legs.

Dehere of The Cat is supposed to be a good thing in the 2nd with 12 minutes to post there betting accordingly.

Good luck,

FD

The \"good thing\" won Frank.

BTW, will be up there next Saturday and Sunday.  This will be the 4th year in a row that for my first trip, I draw TGAB as the host for the seminar.  

After last year\'s Diana/Jim Dandy weekend where we had significant X\'s for TGAB (and you, me, Richie B, and Michael D), I am expecting we can bounce back to our tops.  Thoropattern has us 66% to pair up or new top....

Have the hotel booked and the car ready to go.  The only thing that might make me unable to make it is if I get overwhelmed with compiling that list of California \"move ups\" for TGJB..............

Jimbo,

Bring bail money as Richiebee is coming up on Friday for the twilight card,
$ 3.00 drafts and to assist any and all damsels in distress.

Too bad were both way over the top in the drinking and damsel department !!!!

I can\'t find a play to make on this race card but I\'m still looking.

I\'m giving the #5 Bless The Soldier a chance here.

Let\'s give Black Rhino a shot. BR or Overdriven puts me alive to 5 horses in the 10th in the P3. I need to get plane tickets for Islamorada in the Florida Keys. I need a break from this hard way to make an easy living. Go Black Rhino!
