Madison's uneducated observations FWIW

Watch replay of first timer (I believe) MSW at AQ. R4 Sukoon. Stumbled badly right after break, back close to 12-15 lengths and made steady drive. Added to my stable.

Was given Barber Road in OP feature. Tough company but nice last and looks like the distance won't hurt. Other veteran friend loves Secret Oath but pretty short money.

BOL to all.

If able, let us know Sukoon's next start. I stumble badly yesterday, though I hit 4 exactas to keep losses under $30 USA.

Nice pick in Barber Road. I had the exacta and think I got porked relative to the tri with Secret Oath running 3rd.

2 from my stable in today

Both short money so??

Oak R9 Lochmoor (Big run in last from well back) Can he repeat? 6F

GP R3 Khafre. Totally blocked in stretch run. Cutting back from 8.5F to 7.5 so ??

BOL!

**Madison** · 04-03-22, 01:20 PM

Khafre wins for fun. Admittedly was muted by low odds, surface change, and shortened distance.

Made small, but relatively easy win.

**Madison** · 04-04-22, 10:20 AM

2-2 Woohoo. Lochmoor certainly took his time but another long drive. Got a gift at 12.80/5.40/4.20.

Genius W/ A Stable, nice. I'm a fan, Baseball and Horses, my favorite sports season. Used Khafre too.

Happy to know that someone profited. I'm certainly no genius, but do have decades of pari-mutual gambling and handicapping experience.

All my best!!

7-10 years ago I did very well with baseball, but my what a lot of work I put in. Now most of my focus is investing my IRA. Feel free to join discussions. Posted elsewhere on the site.

I had a theory that I never really followed up on but would love any insight. Basically it is shorting teams coming off long 7+ , maybe 10+ better, and failing in their 1st game back. I think it applies elsewhere, but essentially the returning team hasn't seen, mom, kids, etc and for a short period (a day or 2) gets distracted taking care of mama and the kids??

I've heard of this angle. Going to add to my capping stable. BOL Madison in wherever you invest, long term or 30 mins.

Keenland R8 4/8

Grand Sonata. Think this one is pretty special. Won last despite shutoff late. Can seemingly run forever. Group does look tough though.

Was a tough race Madison. Had 5 bullet W/O's in a row! Thanks for the heads up, cashing tickets what it's all about. Had in EXBX that lost.

Keeneland R6 Arrobatic

Just broke Maiden at GP, so changing tracks. Also big field of 16. Great connections though. Should get a decent price with all that being said.

Keeneland R9 Ridley's Major

Green in first MSW. Looked improved in 2nd MSW. Had 3 months to mature. Looks like the distance increase can only help. Connections positive. Like this one.

Place and show pools seem positive. Like the added distance. Just hoping he's in the top 6/7 early. Still very positive here.

**Madison** · 04-10-22, 04:21 PM

Shutoff late again. Stable this one!!

Yep, how they left him boxed in again?? Just let this dude run. Should have been easy 2nd at worst.

At 6/5, $3 place isn't bad. Well meant not Sadie's day 2day.

Yeah, LOT of late money. Been the master of decent efforts 2nd lately.

SA R10 Special Ride

Yeah another likely short price. Very green in last. Shuffled/Spooked? back 4 lengths in first MSW. Then got taken well wide and came strong at 5.5F. 6F today but a little bigger field. Sometimes I get befuddled as to why jocks get boxed in trying to save ground? and they've got a ton of horse under them. If they would have just let this one run in the middle of the track would have been easy win last out.

Off to check the thread to see what you folks have for today. BOL!!

Would truly appreciate one of our more astute handicappers opinions on this race.

Just spent 20 minutes discussing with a friend who has been in and around horse racing for 40 years. Not sure we got but I would truly appreciate some further insight as this is quite an interesting entry.

Ran last at 5.5 F for Baffert. Apparently a 4yr old as carrying +8 pounds. Was apparently placed in Maiden Claimer (Last) for 150K claim. I guess hoping he wouldn't get claimed?? Got claimed and sent to Sean McCarthy, yet same jock. Now placed in 67K MSW. Adding .5F.

Any help??
