The circus is gone.. lets git some cash - MON.

[Jimboski]

Gonna try to cut back on the size of the posts.. just getting to be too muckin futch with the footballers and all.

Plays actually aren't that hot for today. Now, yesterday was a different story; there were FIVE playable races and some huge fields. More about that at the bottom of this.

I hope the entries are better tomorrow, boring races today. Since I went ahead a figured them out, I might as well post what I got. Woulda posted yesterday but I figured the MJers had enough of horses on Fri. and Sat. Thinking that might be the case for today too but lets see if there's any interest around here and I'll decide about posting tomorrow.


5th Walkathon
Man, a better use for these nags would be for the filler for McDonald's to use in their hamburgers. Go get a beer just before they are off and you'll still see them come down the stretch when you come back. The nos. 6 and 9 are the only ones that have a hint of being a racehorse. Put a price with them...
Zactas No. 4 (10-1 M.L) top/bot with 6,9.



6th Race
Zacks - 7,9 t/b 6,8 AND ... no. 2 and 10 to WIN, only. Could go heavier on the no. 10 even though a 7 furlong race would suit him better.

7th Race
It's a stretch to call this race playable. Worser yet, the play requires more than 2 stinkin dollar tickets to make it worthwhile. Anyways, this is what I will probably play... No. 2 t/b with 5,7

9th Race
I worked on this race UNTIL I got to the no. 6 hoss. This one ruined the whole thing cause she's a money burner... Mooch/Guererro connections.. if she's right she moiders em. Of course she'll get bet

Problem is that there are a couple too many others that are priced right (for me/us, that is) and if she comes in with one of them - the price will get killed. This race IS a No Play.

Stuff to bore yas, but I like "reminiscing" LOL

I knew better than post anything yesterday and I think I was right about that too. Had 5 playable races and even if there was somebody around (NOT a PT, an MJer) I think they woulda gave up checking my picks cause I lost the FIRST 3 races I played. OF COURSE, after anybody around would have exited, I caught both exactas in the last 2 races I played and the last race was the most satisfying - picked two hosses (3 and 4) and did the usual, wheel one t/b and play the other a little heavy Win/Place/Show @2x. Both were decent prices and thems finished 1st and 2nd. The point is - think about betting like this when you come up with ONLY 2 picks in a race.... and DON'T FORCE yourself to only find two hosses when you start handicapping the race. They gotta come up "naturally". Well, that's my method anyways.

CLEARLY the luck is sticking with me.. the other zacta I hit scored when they disqualified the 2nd place hoss (I didn't have that one) and put my hoss up (oh yeeeah) who was 16-1 and zacta paid $189.60 .. .. yeah a BC style payoff. That play was a the zacta type -> a,b top/bot with c,d,e.
Not making any points from this one.. just bragging.

Hope we/me find something better for tomorrow.

Good Luck Jimbo

Thanks, HM. Ya know, I NEVER even heard the word "Jimbo" in all the years I was up north. EVERY body called me "Jim" or "Jimmy". Come down here and now I'm "Jimbo" and "Jimbob " (Huh?). Even Joanie Bird (dats the Mrs) calls me Jimbo now.

Let's get to the races... the BORING races for today. Guess that no. 10 hoss in the 6th provide enough excitment for us cause thems didn't want our moola, for the most part, today. Just gave it back to us with refunds for scwatched hosses along with an invitation to the casino (LOL)... just say "yeah, right" :jerkit: if you do visit PHILADELPHIA PARK someday and they do give ya that invitation. There's nuthin like EARNING a weeks pay at the track dept. and then visit the Casino Dept. - put it down on them tables for that dude with the long stick who just rakes it back to the "House". Honestly, I wouldn't mind revisiting that place; it's been a long time since my last and I have a sister close by. Me and my girl friend (she was Joanie Bird then too) used to pick up my sis on the way to Philly Park when I was in N.J. Actually, only made that trip a few times in all the years I was up there and there was no casinos there back then.

Only thing I can share about today's dirt bombs concerns that 7th race. Put that no. 1 hoss, Mysteroius Marissa, on your official Poopie List. Unless she's entered in a 6 furlong or shorter race in the near future.. she's a throwaway.

Parted ways with PHilly for today with a sour taste cause of that last race. Wish I didn't watch the replay on that one. I was sooo wrong about my analysis for that race. DAMNIT!
I wrote that Tiger would kill the exactas in that race turns out he WAS half of the exacta and the other horse is one I woulda played [FO SHO! , it woulda been my top pick to go with the freakin Tiger hoss. Yes, there were two others but who cares with that payoff. I coulda watched that race live too and I didn't; maybe I woulda seen that exacta price before the race and I woulda been on it like Tyson used to jump the chicks. Can not believe that payoff, UGH. $84.40

Ya know, I HOPE there ain't no hanky panky going on at Philly. That zacta I hit with those two pricey hosses in that huge field the other day paid very close to today's last race zacta with the 4/5 Tiger in it. I was expecting 3 figures, EASILY for that zacta. And that no. 1 hoss I posted and picked just the other day (remember it was a pretty long name like Tapsessry or something) .. well, that hoss was 10-1 M.L. when I picked it and he/she paid 7 to 5 and WON
I should mention that I'm not SEEING anything out of order going on in any of the races that I've watched though.

Appreciate HM's well wishes but one thing that does look like I was right about today was the lack of interest. I guess, after dealing with them All Stars on Fri. and Sat., Mjers had enough hoss sheet for awhile. Even the President of our Race Track Jack Dept. is taking a breather, Hamster.

Ain't gonna take a chance enticing Hogman to risk any of his winnings on tomorrow's Philly dirt bombs, so I'll skip posting with the hope that your appetite is back next week. I hate nothing more than giving back winnings. Hey, IF the card looks like today... I'LL EVEN TAKE A TUE$DAY OFF TOMORORW. That would be the first one in a long time too.
