Don't know what I was thinking yesterday when I wrote that Sunday may be my next Philly "visit". Thems DO race on Weds. now.
Got the time to play something today, went over the first 5 races and I'm not liking what I'm seeing. Strong favorites and/or UNplayable races. Might as well share what I think so far even though I may not really play these (?)...or anything today for that matter.
Race 1: No Play
Race 2:
Very stong favorite, no. 4 (Big City Momma) who may even get bet down from her 9-5 M.L. Only way to play this race IMO is to take a stab at zactas.. no. 4 top/bot with each -> 1,2,5.
Race 3:
Better LOOKING play, but not too confident with this one. There's a couple of ways to play this race methinks...
(1) Exacta box the figure horses. Thems are the 2,3,6 AND take a side play, W/Pl @ 2x on one of the longshots I got marked...
no. 6, 15-1 M.L. or no. 4, 10-1 (I think she'll go off higher). See below about them.
OR
You/me can forget the exactas and play BOTH of the longshots, W/Pl @2x and keep ya fingers crossed. No. 6, Imageofstars, is one that I'm familiar with and she is lone speed on a sloppy (maybe) track. Yum Yum. Been freshened up, two nice works and has connections that win infrequently but like to pull off nice surprises from time to time. She does have plenty of early speed to lead these.
No. 4, 10-1 M.L. (think she'll go off higher),Miss Reaper, looks to be placed in a nice spot here for her first race. Like the breeding ESP. for an off track and her connections are good "surprise, surprise" candidates. Got good vibes for this one. At the nice odds on both - if one wins the play is surely worthwhile and even if only one of them gets the Place spot - the shot was worthwhile or maybe even produce a small profit.
Of course, you/me can do what has worked for me a lot of times when I come up with only two horses in a race (actually not applicable for this race) and that would be to wheel one top/bot in zactas and play the other W/Pl @2x. For me - I ain't confident enough to take that route for this race though.
4th race: No Play
5th race:
Favorite (no. 2, Fly Straight) looks like a weiner and even if this one doesn't win the other chalk (no. 6) will prob. win this race. Forget that.
That's it for now. G.L.
