Was on it with you (but only for $1 Exacta box). Lucky that jockey's/stewrds' objection didn't stand up, tho. I thought it was an objection on the 5 horse that could have disqualified him & we'd have the 6-7 exacta which should have paid a TON!

[mikemca]

It was on the 5 but all that would have happened was they would place the 5 in second and move the 6 up to first.So the exacta would have paid 5x more

[Dialysis1]

Great run yesterday, Mike! Thanks for you picks - greatly appreciated - you know your horse handicapping!

Do you post picks every day? Do you post them to this thread or others? Just curious, I may have started a new hobby (in addition to sports betting!).

Thanks again.

[mikemca]

Thx it was fun....I used to post picks just about everyday but it starts to burn you out because the amount of time it takes to handicap a card properly.Now I mostly just post on weekends and big races.I do play in the contests that the forum run almost every day but I am usually just messing around and wouldn't advise anyone to follow my picks on there.If I put a lot of effort into a card I will post it in this thread.

[Texas Star]

Great job mike, keep them winners coming.

[mikemca]

Thx Tstar not playing much today just a couple small bets at Belmont.


3-Shankopotomous in the 5th at 10-1(Damn went with the wrong longshot as the other 10-1 shot won and paid $47 to win because all the money went on the 7.Knew the 2-5 favorite was vulnerable.)
2-Patent Pending Tom in the 7th at 15-1

Both W/P/S

or maybe instead of xW/xP/xS just 3x to show...not sure

[joemc44]

Mike congrats another nice day of pics, stay with what you are doing it works. quality over quanity.

Gl man like your picks

[neverstoppers23]

This is probably a dumb question, but is online horse betting legal? For sites specifically and only do horse betting? Because I seen an ad when I was watching a video on espn.com of a site advertising 100 dollar sign up bonus.
Just wondering, crazy ass rules the government has I can never keep up.

yeah horse racing is legal


As long as the government gets a piece they let it be legal.They don't get anything from poker and sports betting so they make them illegal.Saying they are all luck but they condone the lottery

Nice job

Mike where do you play Horses?

[mikemca]

Thx ....I play at Twinspires.I am limited in options being in the USA but you can beat the parimutual game here with 30% winners at 3-1 or more.I know you are a firm believer in exchanges but I have to work with what is available.

[jjgold]

TwinSpires is cool alot of free stuff and good video service
