Got screwed in the 8th and ended the streak of winners.If they don't go balls to the wall up front it comes 2-7 and I win.


Regardless though the 2-Home Sweet Aspen ran a hell of a gutsy race to fight back and stay on for 2nd.The winner just picked up the pieces.

[mikemca]

Back in the winners circle after a 2 race hiatus.Kicking myself for throwing out the 1 who finished 2nd to make room for cozy kitten.Cost me a $118 exacta

[zebra58]

good luck today mike, great job with the oaks card

[mikemca]

Thx Zebra

[bb_skoots]

I will write down these picks and head to the track. I will use your Derby picks in an exacta of some sort. I'll also "shoot for the moon" on a trifecta with longshots.

GL I'm sure there will be huge payouts in the 10th and 11th.

[EasyCover]

GL u2 if you're betting

[MrShrink]

[mikemca]

thanks for the picks. think i'm backin soldat.

Np looks like yesterday was the day to tail...Today is filled with ifs and almosts.

[mikemca]

Damn today sucked...Made 2 little scores and in the 10th the 6 horse cost me a $700 Tri and had 3 of the 4 horses of a 12k super.My derby horse teased me by opening up mid stretch only to get run down.Was pissed and didn't even play after the derby where I coulda made money back in the 13th.



Like I said it was a day of ifs and almosts.

[bb_skoots]

Oh well, I didn't lose alot. Held a few bets friends wanted and that covered part of the losses.

[Dexter]

mike....cant tell what type of plays you make....doing exotics or win/place etc? sorry if it was mentioned before...

[mikemca]

Sry bout that Skoots .Obviously I post these picks in the hopes that people can win along with me.So it sucks on losing days.

[mikemca]

mike....cant tell what type of plays you make....doing exotics or win/place etc? sorry if it was mentioned before...

When I do my homework before the card I put together who I like 1 thru 4 .I do that so I have options of which way to structure a bet at post time when I see the probable payouts rather than lock myself into a bet before I even know the true odds of each horse.

For the most part though I play keyed exacta box and Pick 3's .

Np thx and gl

[mikemca]

Just gonna throw out 2 horses today that should run well and pay enough to W/P/S.
Will post picks and bets for the whole card either tonight or tomorrow morning as there are a few horses that I feel strongly about and if they stay around their morning lines should pay very well.

Both horses were hammered at the windows and had their odds cut in half.In the 11th the 2 made the lead turning for home and gave it up mid stratch.In the 13th the 5 lacked room and got up for 3rd.
