Spa 2nd
« on: July 25, 2013, 08:55:43 AM »
So Mike Welsch raves about the Clement horse in the second in his clocker\'s report but his comments don\'t match the date of the work in the PPs. Any ideas?

I don\'t have an answer for you on your question - but as an aside, the Welsch clocker report is downright awful.  Not necessarily that what he sees is not correct, but he is covering only 15% or so of the workouts.  Granted, clockers miss works, but he is missing 85% of them.

I think he\'s only doing works at Saratoga, so hopefully it will be more complete as the meet goes on. It\'s a new product, and it\'s cheap enough to give them some time to get better.

Welch is only doing main track works, clocker Mike Vesce is doing the Oklahoma side! Agree with Jim, want my money back!!!

This may be hard for some on the board to believe, but that workout report has more \"missed works\" than Thorograph has \"wrong figures\".  Of course, not factoring in the California figures............  :)

I agree on the coffee!

That\'s why I\'m meeting Richiebee @ 830 this morning for some vitamin C, breakfast and off to the track.

One needs to prepare for TGAB and Jimbo\'s MENSA meeting tomorrow.

Good luck, day 7 and my first trip up north  I hate when work and life get in the way of gambling!!!!!!

My take is that the other workouts are insignificant one way or another. I\'ve noticed that the horses who have gotten A-, the highest grade I\'ve seen so far have run well.  I remember only 3.  The 1st one was Miraculousmo who paid 9/2 last Saturday & then yesterday\'s 2 2YOs who ran 1-2 in the 2nd race.  So I\'m looking for the A-s and better and giving them an extra +.  
What I think is totally worthless is the DRF Gameplan.  The 1st one I downloaded last Saturday had something like 2 winners as of 7PM out of about 20 races.

Expect to see your A game this year.

Will be heading across I-88 from Northeast Pa the weekend of the 18th (Fri-Mon).

Labor Day is being planned as well.

Been playing most every day from either Pocono or PC Downs.
TG turf numbers have been en fuego.

Looking forward to seeing the gang....Topcat, Richie etc.
