Good Racing Luck

I’m gonna rock down to....
 

Hi Gus, regarding race 5 . I heard Eddie Grant’ song Electric Avenue first thing on the radio this morning. Since he should make the lead from the rail and runs well when that is the case, he should be included. I understand your possible Ken Singleton, but in all fairness, it is a really good tune. Probably a top ten 80’s tune.

1st time gelding - Good tune, but hard to for me to include in my sequence. Good luck

Thanks Gus and good luck. I may take a shot at the later Pick 4 as well. But for now:

CD 4
$0.50 Pick 4
3,4,5,8 / 5,8,9,12 / 1,3,4,8 / 2,8,10

I really thought about singling the 8 in Race 4 but just couldn’t do it. So I end up paying $96.00 for this instead of $24.00. Hope it pays off! Good luck all.

I like that horse a little bit. Big concern if he grabs the lead as he may not fade quite as bad as the last few times out. But I’m with Gus, almost impossible for me to include him. I really would have liked to see a workout between the claim and today’s race and maybe that could have pushed him over the edge for me. One of the horses I considered, though.

My “must include” for that race that Gus doesn’t have is the 12 Harlan’s Dynamo.

Because it Time looks like a single to me. Seems much better then these plus the other races are tougher especially the 4th.

If you’re going to single, that’s probably the race. I’m suspicious though. He didn’t run so poorly off the lay-off to warrant dropping to $8,000 claimers...He very well may win the race but it almost seems to me like they’re trying to get rid of the horse.

I don’t know. Maybe I’m being paranoid.

The 7th race is a mystery.:zz:

Well I’ll be damned. Nice inclusion of the 7, Gus!

Thanks, Moses - Big boy Morales can really ride on front runners, especially on the grass

True. Contreras is pretty bad on the turf...but a very limited sample size, so maybe I shouldn’t have tossed him so easily.

Starting off with a $40 horse is awesome. Keep it going!

Cd 5
$5 Dd
1,12 / 3,8

Cd 7

$25 Db 4/5

Very depressing to have 3 of 4 on a $52,000 Pick 4. I played a moderate late pick 4.

Race 7
2,8,10 / 1,4,7 / 3,4 / 5,10,11,12

$36.00

Good luck all.

CD 8
$20 win 7

Nice one!
