Saturday seminar

[FrankD.]

The crowds the 1st 2 weekends have been amazing, easily mid 30,000 range yesterday pushed a heavy 26 million through the windows with a 4 horse feature race that was not worth betting except in horizontals.

A good crowd gathered for our seminar with a few new faces. TGAB kept to the task of only addressing the bullet points. I thought I would put in a good word to his boss. Alan had the exacta in the 5th for $35 with his top choice on top and correctly pegged Texas Red in the Jim Dandy. The horse he mentioned and spoke about trainer Brad Cox won the first leg of the pick 6 as the only real outsider in a very generous 58K payout for the sequence.

Kent D. was too busy giving lessons to Rosario in the Jim Dandy to join Richie and I for a cold one but we\'ll stay in touch with him. Magic night, Rezlegal, Sean, Warren, Uncle Bill, Bandit Beau, a few other non posters all stopped by to say hello.

The days wagering was another wash for yours truly, Richie had a nice day punching the late double. I was all in on Rico Capote Alan\'s top seminar choice and his radio show selection for the day and I agreed totally. I had a nice win bet on Go Around in the 5th but couldn\'t connect the dots putting him over 5 in the triple and in rolling pick 3\'s.

Double duty today with Monmouth and the Spa, a nice job by TGJB on the Monmouth seminar product and some interesting horizontal sequences there.

Spa 2nd:
Rachel\'s Valentina, TAP and working up a storm makes the perfect storm for a 2/5 shot who could be any kind;BUT.
There is a nicely bred Scat Daddy inside her whose Dam threw a fast sprint number at 2 and we\'ll get a lot better than deserved price on Nickname today.
Please don\'t tell Laura I\'ll be betting against Rachel\'s lil girl, I\'ll be in big trouble!!!

4th:
Lucknow is faster than this group so far and has a license to go even faster from the rail. A win bet is in order at the ML or close enough and a little exacta play with the Sheppard wild card who is working bullets and gets Absolute Citron aboard.

5th:
The 2 favorites both have holes in them ouchie\'s and the 5 was a vet scratch a few weeks ago. Rudy, Rudy, Rudy heading south with a back number to run back to that wins this heat at 10/1.

The Shuvee could be a triple dead heat at the weights with the 3,4,5. Pass

11th;
Sinatra will be over bet for the un fuego Bill Mott but cannot be dismissed so Exclusive Strike with back numbers just as fast and a 10/1 ML along with the Brad Cox 12 horse will make a nice 3 horse box.

Good luck to all on a beautiful day,

Frank D.
