[Seattle Slew]

Chasing a few plays today.

West Virginia Derby Race 8 at Mountaineer

No. 6 Delightful Kiss WPS with No. 9 Zanjero. I've been chasing Zanjero all spring but he figures to be favored here so I'm taking the deep closer Delightful Kiss, who has won 2 straight from well off the pace.

Saratoga Race 6;
No. 6 Solvent WPS with No. 4 Striking Rizzi and No. 8 Strikeuptheblues.

Saratoga Race 9 (Test Stakes):
No. 6 Debbie Got Even WPS with No. 5 Down and No. 9 Sheets. Deep closers have not fared well at Saratoga this year, so this might be a donation, but the Zito trainee should be closing into a blistering pace and figures to be 15-1 or higher.

Slew ... I like the other Zito horse in the Test ... Silver Knockers 10/1 ML

[picantel]

come on fox who cares about some old ladies titties. today is hambeltonian day. Who yah got?

Personally there is never any value in betting a heavy fave. Too many times I have seen a dominant horse wipe everyone out only to have something go horribly wrong in the finals. Remember the virgin horse a few weeks ago that broke? That being said I have decided to go with #10 Flirtin Man. If anyone can come up big when it counts it would be the legend John Campbell.

Watch the show boards today. The huge betters will be out in force and you could easily see some 100k show bets come in on the heavy faves. If this happens I usually take 3-4 horses and slip an extra 20-50 show bets on them just in case.

[kdmfox]

Hey pic ... I agree with Flirting Man as the top pick ... I also like the filly in here with a shot, Pampered Princess ... Donato Hanover should go off 1/2 but we need to beat that horse.

Just crushed that 1st race exacta ... Have the dbl going with #2 Isle Of Patmos coming back $31 ... Need to beat the huge chalk.

[picantel]

u suck weep weep. I had Poker Dice in the 1st and Pacific Playboy in the 2nd. Do they have a 2nd place DD? sigh. Because I love to chase I am going with Perfect Waverly in the 3rd. I would really love Srixon if he was not in the 9 hole and that sucky driver Stalbaum was not on him. Btw, everyone is going nuts on Tetrick so I would like to get this out. He has always sucked, still sucks, and will continue to suck his entire life. Everyone is acting like he is the next Campbell or Sears but I think not. Also, I would like to point out the decline of Cat Manzi. Last year he was hot. Now he is one of the worst drivers there. He drives like a pussy and does not try anymore.

[kdmfox]

Hahahahaha ... I have Manzi and Nineteenth Hole in the next race.

[picantel]

wow they are pounding up front Jerry off the drop. Does look pretty good so I threw him under PW and used in the pic 3s.

[picantel]

btw did u see boo bugg. 9 claims? hahaha

[picantel]

damn never again on PW. he was empty. On the other hand u see what I mean about manzi? I can still hear it. Nineteenth Hole in last coming from a tough spot. Just toss his dumb ass for now on.

[picantel]

hahaha look definately maybe is running. the horse kills me. Also look. Manzi is off Sears is on. I expect about a 10 second improvement lol lol

[picantel]

heh had 10 across the board on DM for fun but I hit Rob Roy pretty good. When it doubt go with the class I always say

[picantel]

ok have pic3s going, even though I doubt it pays much, with
#3 Southwind Tempo
#2 Hana Hanover
#6 Tidewaterdragonfly

[picantel]

btw, watch the show pool on southwind. It is already being crushed and we both know anything can happen and usually does.

[picantel]

49k in the show pool on the #3

[picantel]

lol 297k on st now to show

[picantel]

DAMN DAMN DAMN. he got 3rd. another foot and I made a fortune. I had a ton on tidewaterdragonfly. DAMN DAMN DAMN

[kdmfox]

That was a nice P3 ... You had that.

[picantel]

yah it was just too bad pierce had to come from last. that horse was flying. I woulda had everything and then some had he won. Also had $100 to show on him lol. ST came within about 10 feet of getting 4th and that woulda been incredible. Makes u wonder on Donato Hanover now eh

[picantel]

What are u gonna do with Erie Duncan N? If he stays flat he probably wins and is 9/2 now. He breaks every other race and wins every other race which means his pattern states win. I had total truth last week in this race over with anticipation so that was a good race for me. 2 horses are coming off a scratch sick and 2 off a break. tough race

[picantel]

one more think. IF u did not see the race last week with vivid photo then watch it again. I actually had med vac in that race for the win but if u did not see it quickly watch the replay

[kdmfox]

I'm playing Ewie Duncan to win.

[picantel]

god stop the damn race now. I have a $50 box on ewie and with anticipation. wow too fast.

[picantel]

holy shit where did that mile come from and why the hell could he not do it in the 4 other races he lost in. new barn aand the horse shaves 3 seconds off. something is not right here.

[picantel]

had a backup $10 straight perfecta that hit but damn ewie why oh why and why did not I not just take with anticipation as I do every damn week. woulda had everything. played ewie over fran and WA in the super also

[picantel]

ok have some pic3s going.

#2 San Remo Kosmos
#3 Vivid Photo(a few times)
#4 Man About Town
#10 Med Vac

[picantel]

call me crazy but 42/1 on Med Vac is slightly crazy. Anyway, who do you like in this race? This will be my biggest play of the day on Vivid Photo

[picantel]

did u notice that the #5 Jaded who is invading and has pretty much no stats is bet from 15/1 down to 5/2. umm

[picantel]

look at flamewalker. off a break but this is the big one and u cannot hold back hoping not to get forced to qualify. heavy fave last race at 38/1 right now. prices are insane in this race.

[picantel]

I feel like I am babbling to myself but who u like in this race? Remember the hambeltonian is on tv in an hour and I am going to love it on my big screen tv. I wish my cable service had the harness channel. IF I lived like 20 minutes south I would have it.

[picantel]

damn hammer. what an awful drive. a complete retard.

[icemantbi]

Try Maltese Artist, No. 6, in the 9 race...

[picantel]

actually took him in the pic3s but I like total truth. had a tough race last time against weaker but came on strong. this is a very hard race to handicap and any of them can win.

[picantel]

heh 2nd on maltese artist. close but no cigar. woulda been nice.

[icemantbi]

YEAHHHH!!!!!

I had Maltese Artist as a $100 show bet. Had a good feeling about him. He came up big during the last couple stakes races, so that's why I took him.

[icemantbi]

heh 2nd on maltese artist. close but no cigar. woulda been nice.

Nah, only took a show bet on him. I questioned whether or not he could win. The show paid $6.60, so my $100 turns into $330, I can live with that.
