Title: Thank god for the pick 4
Post by: covelj70 on May 17, 2008, 08:01:55 PM
I threw out Macho Again expecting him to bounce so I missed on all my e\'s and tri\'s but I was still able to have a big day thanks to the pick 4.

I key big brown in a $40 pick 4 and had the $40 horse in the 2nd leg (big back fig on TG) so I was able to cash for $20k in the pk 4.  After my losses on the e\'s and tri\'s, I was still able to take home about $14k for the day.  The 14 percent takeout on the pk 4 was very nice.

Thanks TG.

And the Pick 3.

Singled Lantana Mob, Pays to Dream/Stay Close, Bear Now/Lexi Star/Buy The Barrel, single Big Brown.

Each ticket cost me 6 bucks and returned around $800. Had it 5 times and will give me some walking around money for Vegas next weekend.

Hope you guys had it too.  Everyone loves a red boarder, but this one wasn\'t too hard to get.  Pays to Dream had that nice  3 yo number that made him a must use, especially at 19-1. I stopped trying to figure out how to make money with a 1/5 shot on one race, figured the multi race was the way to go. Just like the Smarty Jones Pk4 a few years back, Pays to Dream reminded me of Mr. O\'Brien.

Again, great job JB. Especially with your turf figures which are golden.
