Sunday 3/13

1st race:
Looks like this race belongs to the no. 5 .
The Play -> Bake will prob. get bet down; but there are a few very nice runners that could make the exacta worthwhile. Usually the first race is a No Play, but I'll be looking to play on Philly's money for the next few or two races with the exacta proceeds from a no.5 top/bot. zactas with the nos. 2,4,7. Only $2 tickets cause the other chalk (no. 6 could be a problem according to my figures).

2nd race:
I don't like playing these early races at all. I DO like it when I come up with only two horses and neither one is a favorite. Not doing anything with this race YET. Might as well mention that the two horses are the no. 4 (4-1) and the no. 7 (5-1). You know the routine for these kinda situtions? Yeah, pick one to wheel top/bot and play the other one W/Pl. Worked out pretty good yesterday.... we'll see about doing it today. How ALL the horses in this race look in the prerace is gonna determine whether this race is a No Play or not.

3rd race:
In the words of Vince Lombardi, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOIN ON OUT THERE?". This Mickey Mouse track has been running most races with 5 or 6 horse fields ever since the snow/freeze "disaster" when they probably considered just closing the place down. Where the hell did this 12 horse field come from today to run in a $7.5K claimer? And what a bunch of nags they are.
DON'T recommend anybody follow the kwazy thing I'm gonna do for this one (ONLY cause I'm playing with the house's money still despite the Gulfstream Park stint). Notice how the track handicapper got 12-1 for so many horses in this race? ALL but about 2 or 3 of them should actually be 100-1 but he would make an ass of himself if he posted those more realistic odds. I'm gonna play 3 of those piggies and I'm praying that at least one of them gets scratched cause then I'll have two and you know the way thems get played.

The no. 1 is gonna try to steal this race and looks capable of doing so and the Nos. 3 and 12 have a hint of being a regular ALSO RAN thoroughbred. But I'm going elsewhere....

no. 7, Intuition - Comes from tracks that are MINNIE (not even Mickey) Mouse outfits; runs her first Philly race a couple of weeks ago at this same class as today's and gets beaten by a mere 17 lengths in a race that's the same class as today's race. 5 yr. old has 5 lifetime starts, 1 win and a total of $22K earnings. :eek:

no. 8 Mi Preciosa : A REAL joke. Over 100-1 (actual odds) in EACH OF HER LAST TWO STARTS and has been beaten by over a 100 lengths in her last 9 starts (tot. for all the races my pp's show). Worst jockey at Philly and a one GAL owner/trainer that I never heard of. That means she's po. BTW, think I "like" this one best of these.

no. 10, Sweet Isabella - UGH! too much to write. OK, here's her beaten lengths in her last 6 starts.. 8 1/2, 12, 10, 15.75, 10.75, 14.25, and it just goes on and on.... .

In my "Charlie Sheen hour", I'm saying that one of these piglets, all of which have identical 12-1 odds (cause the track handiman ran out of toes and fingers when trying to figure their true odds correctly), wins or lands in the zacta.

Enjoy the show :)

That's it for now, I'm pooped. Oh, one mo thing - I ain't a dwinkin man neither. Might be a po one after this race though.
G.L.

Ooops, one more thing.... I ALWAYS forget to add sumphin important... dang it.. I AM gonna box these three on the side also. That's in addition to however I decide to playem seperately. Only a stinkin dollar box, but I don't wanna have to come back here and tellyas I just hit the biggest exacta in Philadelphia Park's (not "PARX".. YUCK!) history. Of course that would be the same as catching lightning in a bottle.

I'm done.

Just got on to see how I did today. Looks like the few hoss players we gots are working on them dang brackets. Me and Hamster are on the case though. Sheesh, them could be stuffin them's pockets here in Dirtbombsville.

Thank you, Hamster. After all that work - I didn't get a piece of that juicey Philly payout. Actually lost a bit in that "blah, blah, blah" 3rd race. Unlike yesterday, I went the wrong way for the 3rd.. did the W/Pl/Sh at 2x on the 7 and WHEELED them other two. Return didn't cover the wheelies. :(

Make small bets (odds will still be terrific) on that "Preciousa" hoss. Do it for her next 2 races only.

But them earlier races sho did the trick and then some. Nailed first race zacta AND 2nd race zacta (great price, thank you, Philly). I also did the W/Pl/Sh @ 3x thingy on that no. 4 hoss in the 1st race. That horse is a gambin man's friend, stick with that one. Gotta love this place, broken down tote and ALL. There's plenty of Philly empoyeees inside that toteboard counting on their toes and fingers to figure out the exotic payoffs. No problem.
Ever hear of a place called,"Crazy Eddie's" (a crook, BTW)? Ya know... "the PRICES ARE INSANE".

Well, gotta go and see what's up with the later races for today. Good luck at the track, Hamster and Good luck to the bracketologists too.

What an outfit

What an outfit

They just announced that - Now thems are just gonna run the 8th race (it's a very good betable race too) for purse money ONLY.

Can you say, "Mick Key"?

Their loyal ontrack racing fans have gone through the blender alright this winter. After today and what happened a few weeks ago, their attendance is gonna go from 10 peoples to maybe 2 or 3. Say it ain't so .. . Philly :(
