Tampa P4 FRIDAY 01-25-08

[Bigsmc]

This pick 4 starts out with one of the worst renditions of a 8000N2L claimer
they have trotted out all meet. Yeesh.

Race 7 - Clm 8000 N2L 6.5f Dirt

2 - Truthsayer - Drops in from a bad effort against better at GP. Best connections in the race. Contreras/Montalvo
8 - All in CJ - Ran the best last race of anyone in this race...by far.

Race 8 - Alw 20200 N1X 8.5f Dirt

2 - Too Many Sins - Missed by three lengths in the Inagural (sprinting). Broke maiden going two turns.
5 - Dynamic Wayne - Looks to have been working with Too Many Sins. Also broke his maiden around two turns in Stickney.

Race 9 - MSW 20k 6.0f Dirt

2 - Flatter Me Blue - 2nd best against a runaway winner in his debut. A repeat of that effort may be enough here.
3 - Wynn a Tour - Working well for his debut. Northern Afleet 10% with firsters and the dam's other runner won and allowance race.
6 - Monteleone - Lures Centeno. Dixieland Band very good with firsters. Several 4 & 5f works at Palm Meadows should have him ready to go.
9 - Best Westerner - Blinkers, Lasix and a nice little gate work for this Cimarron Secret gelding. Oh yeah, you get Jamie Ness who is winning at a 38% clip this meet.

Race 10 - Clm 16000 8.5f Dirt

1 - Greylock - In good form since his arrival at Tampa. Rosario rides the rail, but must get this one to go past the leader.
9 - Hots Is Hot - Just missed at 66-1 against 25k platers in his last. Tends to finish second, but Jose Martinez seems to fit him like a glove.
10 - Bye Bye Beylen - Not sure what happened in his last, but this 9yr old ran well on the dirt in Dec as well as this summer at PrM.

Small Ticket:
2,8/2,5/2,3,6,9/1,9,10 = $48 paid $392.30

Big Ticket:
1,2,8/2,5/1,2,3,6,9/1,6,7,8,9,10 = $180 paid $392.30

GL to all playing today.

Bigs - Your Ticket is virtually identical to mine, I'm adding 11 Stricks Chairman as a longshot in first leg but honestly can't find one horse that wants to win this. Abismal. The turf still looks a little soft- gonna see if they stay on before looking at the last race, but I'm leaning toward 6 Castle Concert with the 4 and 9 and a couple of the AE's look enticing.

You'll get your odds on that one. He hasn't been lower than 40-1 in his last 10 races and has been triple digits in 5 of those 10. Wow.

Had my notes wrong....He was the first one I crossed off

Meant to say the 6 Wicked Walt - I'll just wait till the scratches and post it

That's better. I thought all your winning was going to your head and you were going to just toss money around like a crazy man with that 11 horse.

On or Off?

Biggie....any chance they will be back on the weeds tomorrow? 2 of the late 4 races are scheduled for the turf. I don't want to handicap for nothing.

[Rudeboyelvis]

I'd say they'd be on Kev.... We got a metric f**k ton of rain Tuesday night - some places got 4 inches overnight...All depends how bad thy got it in Oldsmar - For what it worth I just mowed my yard and it still a little soft - not quite yielding

[Rudeboyelvis]

Well, that played out about as logically as possible - I thought for sure we'd get bombed out in the first leg

EDIT: Looks like he did. Will pays for $1

1: 201.10
5: 850.20
