I think if you follow through with that and the AM (nothing wrong with not playing him today) that's enough of a parlay hit..don't need football on top of it ..I wish everybody bol with their sb plays
    Yeah, I am not a parlay guy. It's one play at a time for me. But I do have a question about them with the Super Bowl.

    If, you liked Phila at -105-100 wouldn't you play a parlay with that and Purple Gatorade? I know. Lololol.

    But they have apparently had that color for both playoff wins and as superstitious as sports guys can be, doesn't it make sense to at least play some on purple at + 360 ? I would have to think the Phila. would not want to change anything from those last 2 wins so it seems reasonable that a Phila. bettor might go in that direction for at least a little so as to gain at least a little value.
    Like I said, I don't play them but if I did I think that makes at least some sense. But... how sick you would you be to sweat out a win and have the color be different . Guess that's why I don't play them.

    Love your pics and stances and most of all, the reasoning.

    short odds anyway

    so today's will be

    gulfstream R8 #1 multiverse (9-2) WP




    I will as "almost" always not be playing..i have been clear about this through the many years I've been on here ..if this bothers you stay away..probably save you money anyway

    Wow. And hooks a Into Mischief firster of Mott's. Very interesting race. I kind of wondered about 5 1/2 furlongs but this one is out of a The Factor mare so I assume that one was built for speed.

    Others in here have not shown what we would anticipate from these two so a decent chance they run 1-2. I would give an edge to the Army Mule as Mott can certainly win with a firster but he rarely has them all cranked up form the 1st race.
    Good stuff JBEX.
    thanks str

    yeah I saw mott's and agree with what you said..outside post for his also ..AM horse trained by brad cox who as you know one of the best first out and overall trainer's there is..need the mott in there to take money but heck he could win..I like my chances in this spot

    This horse is certainly nice Madison. My worry would be that the horse is a closer and at the mercy of the early pace. In this race, there is only one speed that I see and that horse is pretty solid. If they go slower than 48 and change and a slow 3/4 time, your horse will have to overcome that which is asking a lot at a probable short price.
    That would be my reservation. Maybe don’t bet a lot but bet some to win and play a straight exacta with the only speed Tank #6 on top only and yours second??

    That’s my take.

    He did not catch him several races back with a slower pace which is understandable but did not catch him with a quicker pace either. It was not lightning fast but today should be controlled early by Tank. I don't know how much speed there was in those other two racers on paper going in. So, I don't know who wins but depending on the price maybe play 6,7,8 bucks to win and a straight Tank on top for 4,3,2 bucks exacta?? Just a guess but it makes sense.

    Not to say it is a two horse race but they are both formidable.
