Philly runs today? Mon

[Jimboski]

You know, I don't ever remember, over the years, hoss wacin being cancelled cause "It's too hot". I DO remember sweating my ass off at the track many times and thems ran just fine. Maybe there were too many casualties due to the heat and the reasoning was to play it safe? :shrug:

Could be a co-incidence, but, I do notice that Philly has a tendency to "play it safe" on the WEEKENDS though. Hmmm... maybe the reasoning is "Let the bastages play the bigger races in N.Y. and we'll just pack their asses into the casino.". Ya think?

I'm a little leery about today's card and I didn't put as much time into handicapping. Believe it or not, that means I only put about twice as much time into studying them as the average player for today. Played way more races than usual today; tickets are small.

Briefly here's what I came up with:

Race 2: giving no. 2 a chance to do something..

Race 3: no. 6 top/bot w. 1,2 and no. 6 Win/place.

Race 4: no. 3 top/bot w. 5,6, more with the no. 3 on top. No. 3 win/place also.

Race 6: 2,3 top/bot w. 5,7 and sides on 2 and 7 to WIN.

Race 8: Now, for me, when ya like the nos. 6 AND 7 -> the thing to do is PUTEM BOTH in trifectas (yeah, another "marriage" with two nos. that luv to go together). Problem is that there are too many hosses to fill the third hoss for the tri in this race. SOMB! Sooo... I got the no. 7 wheeled in zactas top/bot and played no. 6 with 3 other horses, top/bot in zacks also. Side bet on no. 6 across as well. That no. 6 should get very good position in this race and has a shot to lead all the way. Worth a shot at the nice odds.


Race 9: Poker at Night (great name) is a good one, MJ Hossplayers. Nos. I like in this race are 5-8-10. No. 8 will be getting some side action from me as well.

Looks like there ain't too much interest today; Peepers may be out stocking up on them fire crackers

Pretty much started off really good with that no. 2 in the 2nd and then watched a couple of the picks WITH 8-1 morning lines go off at 2-1 Ugh!

I see Hamster is around, I'll post what I SEE in the finale.

You're only gonna need $2 on these outrageous Lookers, Hammy. They only look a little better than the others...

1,2,5

Don't even look at their odds, YIKES.

HAH, the no. 1 is "soooo ready" to run.. it just threw the rider and took off on his own before they even got to the starting gate. er... that ain't good ESP when it happens AFTER ya put yerr bets in.

Still looking for that Philly BOMBER

What a bunch of dirt bags in the finale... 1 to 2 shot walks over the finish line, winning by many open lengths. No. 9 broke through the gate before the start in addition to the no. 1 fiasco.

So/so day, I'll let the serious players look up the results. Note that 6th race - I liked that no. 7 better than the rest. Sure wish I woulda liked the 6 cause, sho enough, 6,7 were the top two nos. in the trifecta. :mj16:

Not familiar with a lot of the horses that ran today, so MAYBE tomorrow some of my four legged Philly friends will be on the track

Then back to Wimbledon for me, having a pretty good "meet" at that place this year despite Rafa's early departure.
