Maybe Cig "Mon" is gonna check out Philly today so here's my handicapped picks for the races I worked on so far (1 through 6):
1st race
don't lose your money on this race.
2nd race
same as first race
3rd race
No. 6, Surround Sound, M.L. 9/2, looks pretty dang solid in this one. Terrible jockey and trainer does very little winning here at Philly. She is a capable trainer though (at lesser tracks). Last race on this one sez, "Get on board" today. The poor connections should help her odds too. I tried to come up with zacta horses with this one and I did find a few but I have little confidence with them and I don't wanna ruin a decent looking Win/Place/Show play on this one. If ya just gotta give the exotics a try - I'd put her top/bot. with the 1,2,4. Don't forget, nos. 2 and 6 make a lovely marriage when it comes to zactas.
4th race
Why not try a Tri? Box 1-2-6. Back it up with an accross the board (W/P and Show @ 3x) on no. 1, El Dubai @ 12-1.
5th race
Playable, but I gotta see them on the track first. I got 3 kinda bets ready to put in and it all depends on how they look.....
Capping comes up with nos. 1,2,4. Hey, thems are "magic" trifecta nos. So boxing them for a trifecta is one play.
Now the puzzle (you know like playing Gulfstream) part
Two key hosses in this race are the nos. 2 and 4. For me, it's gonna be 2 top/bot with the 1,4,7 AND no. 4 W/Pl on the side for a backup ... OR ....
no. 4 top/bot with the 1,2,7 and the no. 2 W/Pl on the side. Get it? Ooops, almost forgot... sorry bout this but -> the above bets means you/me will have either a 1-2 exacta box or a 1-4 exacta box ticket. That ticket should be played for double the amount of the other exacta box tickets.
6th race
No complicated stuff for this race. The fav., no. 5 with Mouch looks best. Good enough that I won't even consider any of the other horses in this race. Still, not biting at the expected odds which will prob. be somewhere around 1-1. Unless one of them looks R2R in the prerace - this race looks like a No Play.
Think there may be something in the later races but I'll checkem out later.
