    Thursday Gulfstream

    3rd- I like both the 5 and 6 here. The 5 has only run once, beating 7 of the 12 horses he faced and he was finishing solidly. The 6 is probably the horse to beat off the 2nd for M45000. Its hard to figure out who will get the lead here since its pretty much a paceless race. I'm hoping the 5...

    Funny headline

    On CBS Sportsline: "NBA pauses for Bush" They've been doing that for many, many years.

    Starting to clear up a bit. Its hard to find fault with Empire Maker, who looked like a monster in the Florida Derby. Being by Unbridled out of a Grade 1 winning mare (Toussaud), this horse had plenty of hype. He finally lived up to it. Trust N Luck tired on an easy lead over a speed track...

    Tampa Bay Derby

    #6 Aristocat I don't think I'm going to get the 4-1 thats quoted on the morning line as Velazquez and Pletcher invade from Gulfstream. This horse is coming off a win over NW1X rivals at Gulfstream. In that race he beat Christine's Outlaw by almost 12 lengths and Christine's Outlaw came back...

    Gulfstream Friday

    Not real crazy about the card today, esp. the first 5. 6th- 10 Cozy Island could be tough to beat here. The horse has only 1 turf win in 9 turf starts but has some narrow losses to much better horses like Tates Creek, Voodoo Dancer and Megan's Bluff. I'm guessing Delta Princess will be...

    Aqu, GP

    I'm zeroing in on a few races. I usually don't have my bets set in stone beforehand, just general ideas regarding what I think the odds should be. Then I want to see late scratches and how the horses look on the track. AQU-I'm a bit hesitant since they've only had one day of racing in the...

    Hawthorne bias

    I did get to see the first 2 races yesterday. All inside and speed. Those that did close were near the rail. I just checked the rest of the results. All inside speed. Hawthorne's track maintenance crews is either slow or in denial; I'll be shocked if today isn't more of the same.

    They must be trying to top Turfway for most cancellations

    Funny track story from Friday

    I took a quick look at the Gulfstream entries and saw that a horse named She's Cookin Now was running in the 2nd race at GP today. I checked with Brisnet to see what number: she was the 4 horse. I planned my lunch from work to go out and bet the horse. I planned on picking up a Form for...

    Pincay finished?

    A bad spill the other day left him w/a fairly severe back injury and you have to wonder if this is the end of the road for him. He is the all-time win leader; I wonder if Bailey has enough time to make a run at him.

    Late scratching into lone speed

    I love this angle and find it has its most value in the final or middle legs of a Pic 3. By the time the race goes off, most (but not all) of the value is gone but when you bet a Pic 3 or 4 or 6, most of the public hasn't changed their thinking or in some cases, hasn't even looked 2 races...

    March 1 stakes overview

    SA- already on another thread. TP- Grey Comet will be bet and be very difficult to beat here. Lone negative is he hasn't raced over that surface and some horses just don't handle that track. He's 1st Lasix and I'm guessing will be 3-2 or less. I'm looking at an exacta with him over Grand...

    Santa Anita Handicap

    Congaree will be tough to beat but I'm going to try to with Pleasantly Perfect. I wanted to bet this horse in last fall's BC Classic but he scratched out a couple days before the race. Yes, Congaree could win and may very well be the controlling speed; but I question his ability to get 10...

    Saturday totals

    2-0-1 on last day's posted totals (wednesday) Nd/Syracuse UNDER 151: this number looks too high by about 10 Indiana/Wisky UNDER 129-most of IU's conf. games are in the 112-120 range and UW isn't exactly the Dallas Mavs USC/Arizona OVER 163--USC's totals have climbed steadily: 141 then 152...

    Wisky

    Gotta love the Badgers here. Indiana is just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games and 3-9 ATS away from Bloomington. Wisky is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 and 10-1 ATS in Mad-town. This line is just too low.

    Saturday Feb 15

    Have only taken a brief look at it but 2 horses I know I like: Scrimshaw in the Hutcheson at GP. I saw his race on Dec. 26 at Santa Anita and thought he beat a field that was tougher than what he faces tomorrow. At Oaklawn, a horse named Down and Out is coming back after running decently on a...

    GP 2/10 late Pic 3

    Races 8-10 8th (3 and 8) Using Congress Park who is a legit threat to wire here. He's faced some nice fields and may get the lead on the stretchout. Stackum is the 3rd choice in the ml and has had some rough trips. He's the logical closer if # 3 falls apart. The 2 horse is a legit threat...
