ok tonight is another night for the pick 4's at los alamitos. I am doing pretty well at this track and its one of the few tracks i try to cap all the time. I just like the pick fours here because of the guarentees. I used to not like the quarter horse races, but winning will make you like anything. And after deciding yesterday that the one horse that oculd not win the Belmont did win it i realize maybe i should go back to what i think i am good at and its this one. The doubles pay well here and the cool thing is if you have access there is always 10 cent superfectas on every race. They only race weekends and its usually late which is cool considering i have nothing else going on. So this is my blog this week on this. Hopefully we can cash together.
Race 1
I usually try to find a race i can single with and there is a lot of people who like to single late and a lot that like to single in the beginning. Honestly i would rather single early that way if i am out i can focus on other things. To me there is nothing worse then getting all the way to the 4th leg and having 1 out and losing. Nothing worse. I really really wanted to single here, but i just can't
9. swiss alpine will go off at least 4/5 he will be a heavy favorite. if you are going single you can go this route but i need a little more coverage here. His last start he had a horrible jump and it cost him. He usually shows good speed
for my second choice here i am going with the second favorite echo west.
so my two picks for race one are
9,3
race 2
I am going spread here and i honestly think this is the hardest race of the night
10 will be the favorite here and i have to add him
I always like hawkins jet and the number 2 ryl rangler
going put in the 4 also and thought about playing the longshot number 6 but would cost out this ticket
so picks for race 2 are
1,2,4,10
race 3
going single here. with the 9
I absolutly love flash dancer. this is a awesome horse. But once again things happen i loved ice box also going single this to keep the price down. if you don't want to single then you can also go with the 3 rincewind. this is another good horse
so race 3 is
9
going roll with the 2 czechs and roses. i like this horse and he will be favorite but this is a race that the favorite might lose. look from pressure with the 6 9 and 10
6 here will go off around 15 to 1 and is my longshot play make sure you play him in your superfectas
so to recap my picks
race 1
9,3
race 2
1,2,4,10
race 3
9
race 4
2,6,9,10
total cost is 32 dollars
also going play 10 dollar double 9---10,1 in first two races
late pick 4 i am just going give you my plays it usually changes depending on how i do in earlier races
race 7
1,5,6
race 8
1,2,3,7
race 9
4,8
race 10
2,10
total cost here is 48 dollars
i will say the late pick 4 tonight is really tough espically in that race 8. its one of the tougher i have played in a while and need the favorite to lose.
if you like to play superfectas i usually key who i think will win and roll the rest so its a 6 dollar bet
like in race 1
going play the 9/3,4,6
these are usually how i do it but some people like to play other ways. try this track out tonight.. i really enjoy it and have done well here.
There are a few cool other things about this track is they give away free past performaces at their website and least they use to and you can go to their site and register and watch their races for free. Also tvg does their picks on the show the quarters that starts and they give details on every race. They are not to bad at this. I usually dont play pick fours because of the difficulty but i do like it here. good luck to you guys hopefully we can all cash tonight. I need it after the extra inning losses with boston and phily.. not my week in baseball hopefully can bounce back tonight
