Another beautiful day out there, it's "lucky" Tuesday (I hope), and pretty wide open races today. And ya know what that means at Philly $$$$$$. BUT, ya gotta pickem :mj03:

Picks may look cwazy or just looking for prices.... neither is the case.

5th race: No. 6 top/bot zacks with 3,5,8. No. 6, Fire King, is very consistent in this class and has Suarez on his back and me feeling good about his chances vs. these. I'd give it a 90% chance of hitting the board.

6th race: I'll be doing various amounts on each exacta ticket (there's a bunch) with the no. 4 on it. Not going to list them cause I don't expect anybody to follow and not gonna suggest anybody does. Playing him win/place is cool also due to that 8-1 M.L.
Now the horse I REALLY like is no. 8, Chief Dispute. No exactas cause I don't want to get screwed by leaving the zacta mate out and I ain't gonna go wild on exactas on two horses in one race. I expect DECENT odds on this one and I'll be putting medium to mucho across the board on this one. Even if this one finishes 2nd, the race will be profitable for me. Comes in with the no. 4?... .. OH YEEEAH!

7th race: I stopped capping as soon as saw the no. 1 hoss (and that happened real quick like since she's no. 1 LOL). Mixed feelings about this one, but there's no way I don't bet it. Had her last time she ran and I'm on this one this time as well. Would luv to take the elastic band off the bigger greenbacks for this one, but there's something very fishy going on with her so I won't. She's an excellent grass runner (check her results from last year) but what's going on with her THIS YEAR?? Finishes up the track in her 2 turf races and then looks good (well beaten 3rd though) on the dirt. Only ran 3 races this year too.. that ain't a good sign. Still, I think OCTOMON is the best in here today.

8th race: gave it going over; waste of (plenty) of time... .. too tough to call. Nos. 3 and 8 were the two top picks in case anybody's interest. I ain't.

9th race: top picks are 2-4-6 (not necessarily in that order). For me, I'm on no. 9, Raycn with Gracyn , 20-1 M.L. Despite the odds and pps, you just don't let a horse that sez (between the lines) "I'm gonna win today". Of course, just cause she sez it doesn't mean she can do it. Yet, I'm gonna take her word for it. Across the board play for me.

10th race: A horse I've posted and played many times is the top pick for me today. Hoss clearly had a valid excuse in last, one before that was on an off track. IF this one runs like I remember it CAN .. . it's the best bet today at anything close to it's 15-1 morning line. One caveat though - this one knows how to put the pedal to the metal.. unfortunately, she also knows how to run out of gas in the ass. Hoping to see an open length(s) margin in the stretch run IF Mysty is on it's game today.

Hope ya checked in today, Crawzy Fingers even if just out of curiosity (sometimes that's the bestest reason to stop in). If not, good luck whatever you're up to today.

Good luck, MJers.

Looks like Hamster checked in :clap: I meticulously typed up the DELUXE edition today cause I just knew you'd be interested. :)

Never expected to find so many races that look to be playable today, Hammy. Hope you found a few also. I'm bushed already after going over the pps for so long. Hope it pays off.

Good luck today, Buddy.

Wrap up (easier to do it with picture)

No excuses though cause almost all the picks ran pretty good or even better, like Octomon for example. Gracyn looked very much like a winnah the way she was picking them up, one by one, down the backstretch. See all them close finishes today? Thats where the biggest facta comes into play; sorta "LUCK with the final inches".

Systems, angles, calculations are easily overcome by Lady Luck. IMO, the tools that give a player a fighting chance vs. the ultimate factor is - many, many years of analyzing the "game", complete familiarity of the "players" (HOSSES that frequent YOUR track, jockey colony, trainer colony, OWNER colony, and the the way your track "plays"). And ya better be good at analyzing them things and have plenty of determination to beat the "game" too or, at least, have a chance.

Unfortunately, most players run outa moola while they're still in "Boot Camp". NOT playing all or even most of the races and keeping the bet amounts low is the antidote for that part. THE LUCKY ONES who play too many races or bet too heavily during the "boot camp" period (many, many years, gang) will give up trying. The remaining ones are termed as "degenerates". Hell, the only degenerates I see out there got an antenna sticking out of there shirt pocket, a cellphone glued to their ear, and are continually staring at text messages all day/night. What a life, Sheesh!

With the few visitors stopping in lately, thought I'd do a little change of pace with the wrap up. Only interesting story for today concerned the last race. Mysti looked pretty sorry in the prerace. One thing good about twintowers is that you can cancel a bet VERY easily. I cancelled the "show@2x" part of my straight play on that one.

Hope ya took my advice today, Crazy Fingers. You know, the part about "just for curiosity" :) I see that I did collect some peanuts along the way today, but tellyas - the ole bankaroo took a bit of a hit this week. Still playing with profits, but that part of the bank is getting low.

Do stop in, just to acknowledge the other posters picks/work too... . sharing is a wonderful thang. Thanks to the regulars for doing that.

Gonna try harder next week.
