Saratoga 10th race
« on: August 25, 2011, 06:09:53 AM »
I\'m never one to red board and trust me the profit I turned was nominal compared to what it should have been. Anyone who played Saratoga yesterday should go back and look at this race. It\'s obvious that Bobby G. and I weren\'t the only ones who saw it either by a pair of 20/1 shots in a 11 horse field returning a $ 434.00 exacta.

The race projected the entire field to run between an 11-14, the favorite of the Maker claim was 9/5, reasons to move forward but no more so than many others ?
I used 4 horses in the race on my main pick 4 ticket the 2,3,4, & 8 an all ticket was made as well. It was difficult to use anyone on top in 7th aside from the Contessa pair. The 7 was on the X schedule but still too fast to toss and the 6 would have to bounce big time to get beat.

My tickets were:

6,7 / 5 / 6,7,9 / 2,3,4,8

6,7 / 5 / 6,7,9 / ALL

6 / 5 / 6,7,9 / 2,3,4,8

The 6 bounced, he didn\'t want that last 1/8th, the 5 getting 6 lbs ran a new top and I got put in a choke hold by Bobby G. at the finish as he buried the 6/5 exacta one way and keyed the super with the 5 for second and third !

I ended up saving with a 8/9th double & modest pick 3 play but an all in the first leg for .50 cents would have turned into a $ 7,800.00 pick 4.

The 8th race was one dimensional to me and the 9th showed 3 horses that were that much faster than the rest.

The last leg I keyed the 5 2nd & 3rd in tri\'s and supers with the 2,3,4,8 and caught a small exacta with what I felt were the 2 fastest horses in the race.

I ended up ok but felt I really let a major score get away with a case of good handicapping but horrible betting !!!

I\'m real curious to find out how some others played this sequence ? It\'s obvious by the mutuals that there was a TG influence on the last race.

Good luck,

Frank D.

Hi Frank

I just played the 6th and 7th, and just checked the red board room as I always do to see what they played. The 6th was a 2 horse race, with the fav on top you got 16-1 on your money, pretty good considering. The 10th , I wished I had looked at, the winner had good number power and at 20-1 would have been a must use for me. I am very surprised it wasn\'t used in the analysis,

... and now its off to Michigan.

Make sure your son knows how to tap a keg, and takes Richiebee\'s advice and finds
a good looking sophomore coed who took all the courses he will be taking this
year.

I was pretty good at the keg tapping thing, but mostly dated waitresses and
exercise girls from Fairmount Park.

Kinda explains why I work sixty hour weeks at the age of 56.

See you next weekend; buy stock in AmBev.

Richie,

All sound advice and thank you ! Although I\'ll defer on my son reading your post.

I\'ll be missing my 2nd Travers in 38 years and hopefully some other idiot will bang the keyboard a bit on Sunday morning recapping TGAB\'s seminar.

Don\'t forget to bring a plethora of your 9 x 12 pictures next weekend. I\'m not kidding your a cult hero and we can have an autograph session after the seminar !!!

Good luck,

Frank D.

You\'re assuming the Saratoga grandstand isn\'t floating in Lake George.

IMHO, real kicker re the winner of the last (on top of the nifty TG evidence) was that after a sustained multi-year slumber, trainer had a two-winner day at Mth a coupla weeks back, thus kicking himself out of his proverbial 20-year nap . . . THEN took the trouble to ship the four-month layoff winner up the Northway.   Fortune favors the bold.
