Saratoga Sunday....

[Fairmount1]

Which one of these two things seems more likely?

1.  49,527 people attended Saratoga today.

2.  The pick 5 consisting of 23.50 to 1 (9th choice of 10), 15.80 to 1 (8th choice of 9), 1.30 to 1 (favorite), 22.70 to 1 (8th choice of 10, $.40 from 9th choice), and 13.60 to 1 (7th choice of 9) is hit and pays $560k to one ticket.  

No worries about which to pick.  Both happened according to the chart.

Fairmount,

What is interesting is that the Backyard seminar host TGJB was very positive on the #3 in the 9th, pretty much said single the 3 in the 10th and very strong on the  22 to 1 #2 in the 10th.

Quite a seminar today.

Not just the positive plays but also identified a number of \'negative\' reads on horses that were bet.

Frank will probably fill you in later in between shopping for that \"Gulfstream Condo\".

No condo shopping yet!!!
However the previous poster and the 2 time vet scratch who will write the seminar recap did have a piece of that juicy late pick 4, assisted by the seminar hosts Angry Moon, Lucy & Ethel:)

Quite a weekend for the back yard crew in between Uncle Bills 3 naps today.

Get away day tomorrow and a mandatory pick 5 & 6 payout.....

What a country, we\'re making the back yard GREAT AGAIN!!!!!

Very nice to meet everyone today. It was a very profitable seminar.

Let\'s do it again tomorrow

[Fairmount1]

Congrats to the healthnuts on the P4!!!  

And a Del Mar Carry of like 547k also......

Seminar should be extended to tomorrow with all the success this weekend.    

After going to Del Mar and Saratoga, one lesson I\'ve learned from all of you is sticking with the angles and the plays that are successful for you even when losing and keep firing at those angles. If you don\'t, it may corrupt your mental approach and your gambling.  One example is last week, TG seminar recommended a Ramon Preciado horse at big odds based on the sheet and despite his loss, this week\'s Sunday seminar (JB vs. AB but still) apparently also recommended a Preciado (Chloe Bradley) horse at large odds.  Despite all of my Sunday night ramblings, I\'ve learned a tremendous amount about mental approach to the game the last month plus that I needed to see and hear.

Can\'t believe I was asleep at the switch and missed the 11th. Really, an exacta of undefeated Lucy N Ethel with a graded stakes win at GP and a double digit win at Parx, and Dearest whose only loss was her sole two-turn effort against Cathryn Sopia and Lewis Bay, paid 200-1?

Ouch.

Beyer talked quite a bit on Saratoga Live about Preciado\'s drug violations and about how horses trained by his ilk usually fail to reproduce their out-of-state form in NY because NY runs a cleaner operation.

Yeah , well, the reciprocal to tossing the touts, is to rate the bashes higher. Works a lot.
