Well he sure had that measured .....wow ....what are your thoughts .....like anything else.

mikemca · 03-09-13, 04:15 PM

Looks like you are going to have to be toward the front to win on turf at GP today which puts every one of the horses I liked at a big disadvantage.

WOW, Tiz A Minister (from the moon) to just miss.

I'm sure you saw she scratched out of the stake at Tampa today to run in a 75k optional claimer tomorrow at GP.Will be a better price than she would have been in the stake at 5-1 ml.The 1A looks tough but Closed Hatches can definitely improve a lot off only 1 race.

Yeah that was a good race.I have to think Flashback ran the best race but Ghost and Tiz A Minister look like they would love 1 1/4.

Sorry didn't see this until just now....did OK today.

I have really been sticking to playing in the h2h, the bigger tourneys is a different game...its about taking shots and hitting 2-3 of them....thats not my game.

Been doing really well in the H2H matchups though.

Disagree with this.You're not going to be profitable taking shots because just about always there are going to be several people who hit the same horses plus some lower odds horses.Its usually a mix of 1 or 2 long shots then a few mid range horses and some logical ones.The player pool is tough especially on weekends with $2-$5 being the avg winning margin so you really have to walk a fine line when it comes to declaring a favorite vulnerable.

Still looks pretty open but the these main 2 price horses I thought had an outside shot scratched.

R6--(4)Maxana----Had a 1 for a billion jock and was likely to progress enough to be competitive at a huge price
R9--(5)Ganador----Dirty form but good races compete was likely over 10-1

Sry I looked at like 5 tracks and didn't see much.

Short notice but coming up at GP R2 the 1-My Big News should improve and is 13-1.

any conditional wagers? or bet on him no matter the value? if so which bet do you plan on doing? Show? Win? Win/Place/show?

Thanks! Im excited for this race!

I don't really know what to make of it.The race today looks tougher than the stake but why not get a stake win.The 1A is scary on the stretchout

W/P/S would be the safest.I want 6-1 at least

harthebar · 03-10-13, 12:37 PM

mikemca whats your thoughts on closed hatched

mikemca · 03-10-13, 12:39 PM

Damn 3rd...jock used him up early

xelemental · 03-10-13, 12:39 PM

he came out strong! couldnt findish though. At least got the show bet...

harthebar · 03-10-13, 12:42 PM

Don't think you are going to get 5-1.She doesn't have the pace figures I like for a stretchout but Mott can be a wizard.I wouldn't play as the favorite though.

mikemca · 03-10-13, 12:47 PM

Yeah he went .23 and .46 which is crazy for 12.5k maiden claimers.Surprised he held 3rd but have to say the 7 was probably better regardless.

xelemental · 03-10-13, 12:50 PM

any other plays today mikemca? you seem to know your stuff
