Tough beat Roamin!

[Roamin42]

Eclipse, that was a bummer, I really like the jockey, I should have chose him in the 2nd race, he won that race and paid $38 and change.

Oaklawn has been a very tough place to play for us on both visits, but I think there were some decent hits yesterday and of course that near miss by Roamin. Makes me feel better that there were some hits as I am often the promoter of my hometown track.

Oaklawn has not been kind to us. The scores we'll see for the points contest will likely be pretty low. I did manage, I believe, a nice exacta in Race 4. My exacta plays are very basic so it's all about picking the right race or races to play, finding the right horse to put ontop and hope a mild long shot comes in to complete the place spot for a bigger return.

Yep, I think you are right about the points scores. I'm pretty sure my play was pretty stinky and I will likely be on the bottom of the pile in spite of the fact my play last time at Oaklawn won.

Congrats on finding your niche in the ROI. Your plan for world domination seems to be working to near perfection. Hard for the rest of us to keep up, but maybe that will inspire better play from all of us.

Thank you for this tip, DonGuido. I just started regularly betting late last year, have had good success especially show and place, and sometimes with win bets, but so far every time I've tried any kind of exotic I've lost, and I hate losing money, so I then go back to show, place and win to stay safe. Since I'm getting better at picking winners now, will try your system to try and hit an exacta.

And congratulations on another win!
