Nice call on Hunter Forward race 11. Might have won you a contest?

[mikemca]

Thursday


Saratoga


Race 11
2-Hunter Forward 12-1(Has speed to stay close and could surprise)
3-Edie 10-1(Same as 2/Would be next value choice if that one were to scratch)
4-Brandys Secret 2-1(Should have the lead)
8-Sally's Dream 5-1(Likely to be pressing the pace and hopefully enough to bring the fave back to the 2 and 3)
10-Broken Trust Fund 7-2(Not including but would trounce this field on a fair track/With the track as it is could be good to play against as likely to be spinning wheels in the stretch)

Hunter Forward ---$71.00--$15.60--$7.30

Exacta $213

[Easy-Rider 66]

I see you did not bet the #2 in the Saratoga game. I guess you you cashed a mutual ticket.

Nah that was the only place I didn't have him but I'll be OK

[harthebar]

nice mike well played.......

[harthebar]

now lets move on to del mar lol....

[mikemca]

nice mike well played.......

Thx but now EZ Rider has me pissed about not using it in dw contest.Got into a bad habit of putting my picks in and not paying attention.It wasn't a big prize pool though.

[mikemca]

now lets move on to del mar lol....

I looked earlier and nothing jumped out.10-Kimnjet here in the 6th looked good but Bejarano jumped off to ride the Sadler.Probably just call it a day on a good note.

[mikemca]

Ugh...Kimnjet gets nosed for the win but pays $15 something $8 something place/show

[harthebar]

you cant get pissed about it, because there is nothing to do about it....it was great cap.....so how can you get bad......you are what we call a soul capper, like all soul surfer, you do it for ...lo

[mikemca]

Its like leaving money on the table in poker when you have a big hand.

Wishing the meet was another 2 months with the way the public just refuses to bet the frontrunners

[JBEX]

Nice call on Hunter Forward.. This horse was nicely hidden
amongst 2 meaningless hurdle races and a nothing race on
the aqueduct inner track. Add to that an obscure trainer to
further throw you off her. Her middle distance turf races last
year put her right in the hunt here including the 9.5f turf race
at the Spa last year where she had the lead at the eighth pole
which would be the distance of today's race.. again nice job

Thx...Yeah I had all her turf races aside from the jumps on par with the 4-5 fave.The only concern was if she was OK after falling in last jump race but Kingsley is no slouch so didn't think she would be entered if not sound.Kingsley I think is a Colonial/Pimlico trainer and solid 20%+ with turf there.

Not good cards today




Friday

Saratoga

Race 1
2-Irish Sweepstakes 8-1(Don't see how this one is 8-1.Ran 2nd to G2 Sanford winner/G2 SAR Spcl place horse Wired Bryan in debut and then crushed a statebred msw next out.This is a statebred race)
1-Free Mugatu 4-1(Don't really like the ML but in winning his only start he made up 19 lengths at 5 1/2 furlongs!!)
3-Double Gold 5-2(Asmussen firing on all cylinders with 2 yr olds and his best angle over past decade is 2nd time starters)
6-Ogermeister 7-2(Classiest horse in here is a juvenile for Wesley Ward)
Race 2
8-Mickey Dee 10-1(C Martin respectable as of late with 1sters/Castellano taking the call rises interest)
3-Blue Chips Only 5-2(A Dutrow has even been beating the big boys with his babies)
6-Wake Up In Malibu 3-1(Weaver has cooled down after torrid start so maybe it's best to go against this one, I just can't find any unless some of the AEs draw in)
Race 3
1-Caixa Electronica 2-1(Looks like a match race with Saginaw)
2-Saginaw 7-5(If he just pairs his last they are all running for 2nd)
4-Private Tale 8-1(If you don't like Bernie The Maestro this one is the obvious next in line)
Race 4
3-Honeychild 7-2(Is the speed unless a 1ster has something for her.Castellano jumps ship but hard to find an alternative to the favorites)
7-First Summation 2-1(C Clement is literally around 90% this meet w/p with firsters.Yeah really)
5-Missy Bay 5-2(Like I said not much to go on aside from 2 faves)
Race 5
3-Buckwheat 8-1(Looks like the speed if he wants it/Wilkes doesn't claim many so fact he takes this one and bumps up in class is a good sign)
Race 6
4-Alexandra's Grace 4-1(Pressed a decent pace last out on a dead track/Good chance improving on a fair track while cutting back a furlong)
6-Maracuya 5-2(Drops out of consecutive G2s and adds blinks for the cutback)
3-Five Star Momma 6-1(Is the best price of the contenders but fave handled her last out)
2-Delightful Quality 6-5(Not a lot of value in this race so maybe just going with the 4 is best option)
Race 7
1-Please No Emails 10-1(Yet another maiden race where it's hard to find alternatives to the faves/Stabbing here hoping the E Dubai blood makes her precocious)
3-5-6 are obvious
Race 8
6-Midnight Watch 5-1(Best race on the card by far/This one should have the lead and progress as McLaughlin runners do)
4-Native Bombshell 10-1(You don't see C Brown horses with this high a ML and this girl has that all important asset...early speed)
1-Teen Pauline 9-2(Should get the garden trip and can move forward a lot 2nd turf)
2-Unbelievable Dream 8-1(This one would be on top with a fair track and still even debating it as a 3 to 5 horse pace duel is likely here)
3-Miss Lamour 15-1(Seems likely to duel with at least the 6 and at the ML is an overlay.Would be next in line with a scratch in this tough race.The only hard stance I have is 9-Sister Ginger being a bad favorite)
Race 9
1-Powder Springs 20-1(Fastest early and draws the rail.Could be gone with a good break)
5-It's Huge 10-1(Also likely to be carried by the track)
4-Mr. William 5-2(Legit but hate horses claimed off Jacobson)
10-Ride A Song 6-1(Finishes the quartet of the likely superfecta if the race were just a 1/4 mile)
7-Wood On The Fire 30-1(Think this one is better than looks relative to this field/Appears they have been trying to get speed into him in the AM/Can easily replace 4,5,10 in my exacta)



Delmar

Race 1
1-Ribot Belle 8-1(Belvoir very good off claim)
Race 2
5-Full Of Slew 10-1(Hofmans decent with 2nd time starters and excellent roi wise)
6-Charlie Time 15-1(Truman 0 for 6 at meet but 4 for 6 itm/Either one of these could be my stand against the Baffert fave)
9-My Lucky Rose 3-1(Don't know if I'd try to beat in ex though)
Race 3
7-Gulsary 6-1(Was running against some really good turf horses in France/Favorite in this race ,5, looks an awful lot like Brandy's Secret did in the Spa finale yesterday where she lost at 4-5)
2-Vionnet 12-1(Only time she went sprint to route she ran career best and a race that likely wins this)
4-Jolly Days 10-1(GoGo up for both wins and gets back on board here after 5 race hiatus)
Race 4
1-Quick Approval 6-1(Nothing concrete to go on this race so just going with one I could see drifting from ML and looks OK based on AM breezes)
5-Shopping Savannah 8-1(Another option who looks good first out depending on how the race gets bet)
8-Gracie Ragazza 5-1(No chance on speed favoring track in only start)
Race 5
8-Frenemy 7-2(Looks like a 6-5 horse to me.Hard to see him losing without an a problem or major regression)
5-Afflication 6-1(Would be the beneficiary of such a regression)
2-Bardy 8-1(Ran well in both starts at DMR/3rd off layoff)
Race 6
5-Manando 8-1(Something tells me Baffert likes this one here.Looks like a wire to wire threat)
7-Tiz A Minister 9-2(Was looking like the race of the week but lost some appeal with a couple scratches including Tiz The Truth who along with Tiz A Minister and Fury Kapacori were a few of the biggest Cali derby contenders until injury took them off the trail)
4-Fury Kapacori 5-2(Could easily be too good with an improvement)
Race 7
5-Cee's Tizzy Belle 8-1(Like two 1sters here with good breeding and capable trainers)
3-Tribal Valentine 10-1(Can't separate which I like more between the 3 and 5)
4-Warren's Dixi Bell 5-1(Trainer very good with 1st turf)

6-Ogermeister 7-2(Classiest horse in here is a juvenile for Wesley Ward)

Good start....The 2 scratched and Mugatu ran em all down again at 7-2...1-6 exacta pays $30.20

[harthebar]

Speed again........I had a feeling about bernie.............

[mikemca]

Speed again........I had a feeling about bernie.............

Was Mike Maker's first win on dirt all meet.Was 0 for 25 going in

[mikemca]

Didn't bet it but geezuz how much the best was Honeychild?Garcia butchered the ride about 4 or 5 times and still got up for 2nd

[mikemca]

Speed not as good today on turf.

[Slimpickens]

Maybe, I thought the 3rd place finisher was probably best. Ortiz JR has ridden terribly today. I was too busy cursing him to even notice the trip of Honeychild.

Sad to hear about Saginaw's passing away. What a game horse. RIP.

[harthebar]

[mikemca]

wait a minute ...your picks aren't they...??????lol

Nice one...last race was tough if the 4 didn't win anyone could have and the 4 scratched out of a race a couple days ago so wasn't sure if there was an issue or just looking for a better spot.
