Sometimes ya just gotta stick with a hoss

When I was posting regularly, I wrote a lot about a horse that (I thought) ONLY NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO BREAK IN A RACE to make it to the wiener's circle. Remember this one -> RICH Chocolate ?

Well, I continued to play this horse and LOST along the way. TODAY, I liked no. 7 in the 7th (Alexandria) and boxed it with 3 others. Then I saw my old nemesis - RICH Chocolate and thought ..... "Ah, what the hel"l and included that one.

I was wrong, cause - OF COURSE, RC broke last again and stayed there for most of stretch then realized the potential I thought I saw in this one in the past.

All I can say now is , WOW ! (<-- make believe that's Green which doesn't show up to good. It was green alright. If any Philly players read this, they'll know what I'm talkin about.

Nice to see the return of a couple of "regulars"

Nice to see the return of a couple of "regulars"

Thanks for the KUDOS.

I stopped posting for obvious reasons and since hitting that Bet3 JACKPOT I've also started betting higher and more "fancy" exotics ... you know, like at least one Bet3 a day. Usually, nobody plays the picks anyways and I was betting plenty of combos which woulda been a hassle to post.

Fact is, that it's a GOOD THING for anybody that woulda played along cause I've given back about $600 of that grand+ payoff I hit several weeks ago. Funny (well, actually NOT so funny) thing is that IF I woulda returned to my old way of betting (mostly exactas for 1 to 4 bucks, plus play a side play like I used to) ... I STILL WOULDA BEEN A BIG LOSAH, just not so much though cause of the small bets. The way I handicapped them was still the way I used to while I was doing good just the betting amount and type of bets were different... Everything just stopped working :mj03:

It took a good ole "LUCKY Tuesday" (Rich Chocolate Day) to give me a pretty SOLID winning day to just maybe turn this sinking ship around. I also scored very well in the late races today that added to the RC exacta score. Tellyas, I don't think this ship is gonna take off even after today cause I'm pretty sure I had about 10+ losing Philly wace twack LOSING days in a row and that kinda crap doesn't turn around in one day. BTW, one silver lining for those days that didn't put anything in my pocket was that I picked quite a few HEFTY paying wieners on those days but (got too cocky?) I relied on hitting the Bet3 or exacta/trifecta. Just a stinking $5 ticket to Win on each of those top picks I had in those races in addition to the exotic bet woulda REALLY helped. But, there is a limit to how much you bet in each race.

Looks like you two are still reading posts but I won't be posting a thing until I get enough confidence that the storm is over. After going over my records (I keep track of EVERYthing) I did find a few MINOR tweaks to add to my regular handicapping ways that may help so hopefully I'll get back to posting here for yas to READ (not necessarily PLAY).
