Thought I clear away some of the cob webs in here and post a few for today. Yes, i have seen some of the regulars around lately and good to see them.
Waaaay out on the limb pick
No, I definitely don't pick 20-1 morning liners often but I cannot forget the last one I played and picked that, at 45-1, won the last race with no other horse next to him ... AND then the bastages took him down, as in "DQed". . I need to find another to help me forget about that one and there is one that, with PLENTY of Lady Luck, could pull it off today. Well, at least it's chances of winning are MUCH better than her M.L. of 20-1 according to my figures.
Nuff of that .. Race 5, no. 4, Chalk Player is the hoss. Terrible trainer, beaten by 43+ lengths in her last race and LUVS to finish 2nd (from last place, that is). And that's exactly what she did in her last 4 races. Did a little better in the race before that by beating 2 horses but was 14+ lengths behind the wiener. Why post something like this?....
This horse has been getting the crap beaten out of her in N.Y. in previous races vs. much better company and my pace figures tell me that she can, at least, compete {very hard to write "Beat" with this one) with the nags she's facing today. She has a jockey that I like to see on LONGshots as well. VERY nice breeding (doesn't mean much cause it is obvious that the genes just ain't mixing right or something like dat) and an off track, which is what I expect to see today, will help her as well. Sane handicappers won't bet her so her price could exceed her morning line as well.
Whatever the case... small sized tickets on this one. BTW, I'm giving a bit of a chance to the other 20-1 shot (no. 5) in this race and that one will get a whole stinkin $2 to win play. A win by that one would cover the zotics and straight bets on the no. 4 which I plan on making. BTW, IF I bet trifectas (I ain't) in this race, I'd use the no. 4 in them.
Saner plays
Here's a couple more that make more sense and, unfortunately, lesser profit -
Race 7 - the hosses are 2-9-1. I like the nos. 1 or 2 as zacta factas. But, that no. 9 is owned by Lisa (I wrote about her in here recently) and you just can not ignore her.
Race 8 - No. 1 (7 to 2) looks like the right one to use/play.
