Thoroughbred Racing

[gotbeer]

Looking at tomorrow. 

Race 3.  2 Good Luck Gus

Race 5.  7 Salutos Amigos

Problem is race 4 looks wide open.  And it's on Turf as an OC race so chances are it might be taken off.  So thinking of playing a 2 with All with 7 pick 3 thinking that the 4th race will probably go from 16 horses to probably less than 10.

Heath and Dazzling Gem  would be my only plays tomorrow if I were to play

You need to tell the wife that you are taking your kid to the playground tomorrow. 

Santa Anita has a nice playground in the infield.

[Adam]

Lol

[gotbeer]

Good luck today boys.  I'll check in from SA from time to time.  Playground is calling Adam.

Birthday party cancelled. Birthday girl is sick.

 I don't like the card today. I don't have a budget either. I'm just riding my tris.

Been there brother...

Well I'm going to be in and out all afternoon....but playing this next race.

$5 exacta box leaving out the Baffert horse..

3-6-7

$30.00

 

[Homebrewer]

Not a good day for me either....Bafferts horse won...but it looks to me like he bled. His tongue is bright red on TV and that's not normal.

[Adam]

Welp. That sucked

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I hit exacta tri and super.  Not major funds but in the black. 

[Adam]

I loved cherry win for 2nd or 3rd but I thought Nyquist was a cinch. Oh well

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

I obviously did a lot of hedging but I thought exaggerator would take it in the slop.  Of course didn't place a win bet here.

Yup.  Me too.  I knew Exaggerator would win, since it was a slop track and seemed to rain just before the race.  But all the Nyquist homers made me put him up top with him, instead of loading underneath.  Had first, third, fourth, fifth.  I really should listen to @Adam and his picks.  But then I would have to listen to Adam.  So what fun is that.

[Adam]

My handicapping has been really solid all year. Still don't know how to bet efficiently. Exaggerator won more so because Mario went on a suicide mission on the front IMO. I think it was Oneills call though. I don't think they were confident that Nyquist could take mud in the face. I hope Nyquist skips the Belmont. Get some rest and destroy the Haskell and Kings Bishop before a BC Try.

Heath got nosed a 3 horse photo. Dazzling gem played tic tac toe in the stretch and still finished third. 

If I can build a bankroll I'm going to make a run on Belmont day. I'm going to read some betting strategy stuff in the meantime.

[gotbeer]

After the beating I took on Preakness.  I think I'm just going to have fun on Belmont day, and just get the form, and look for win bets of longshots.  Not deviate from the plan, like going exotics. 

Of course I always say that's my plan, then I deviate or is it degenerate and bet on everything.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Adam I'll check out your Belmont work.

Derby winner Nyquist's trip to Belmont delayed by fever

 

[gotbeer]

Would suck if Nyquist didn't run in the Belmont.  He's a magnet for dead money and better odds on the other horses.

[Adam]

He's out of the Belmont as of this morning.

I'm glad. He needs a breather. 

Will be interesting to see what kind of speed signs on but I can almost guarantee you I will play with confidence against exaggerator.

Unless it's raining.  I'd bet on him if it's raining. 

Cherry Wine showed me a lot last race.  But I think the freshness of Suddenlybreakingnews is where I'm leaning right now without looking at anything. 

Lani might be the total win bet L/S.   9th at Churchill.  5th I think at Preakness.  It seems the horse is improving, and at a longer race, he might be able to sneak in with his closing style. 

[Adam]

My heart wants to go with Suddenbreakingnews but its usually the one-paced types that win the Belmont. Way too premature but I'll be interested to see what Destin looks like coming in.
