Tampa Bay Plays for Saturday

POINTGIVEN1985 · #1 03-16-2007, 06:59 PM

I have spent a few hours this afternoon handicapping this card, i have a few plays that i like alot, here they are....

Race #9 $1 pick 4 wheel All/2,7/6/2,4 ... possibly not much value if you dont catch a price in the first leg, thats why i will go all. In the 10th i thought it was really hard to go past the top 2 in here i looked at this race for a long time trying to find a way to beat one of the top 2 but i just dont see it happening. In the 11th i think My Typhoon is a standout, i will be betting her heavy to win, i have loved this horse for a long time i love the pedigree and the great tactical speed that she has, she is actually my play of the day if she losses im in trouble because im making a big win bet on her and keying her in the pick 4. In the 12th i was tempted to key Street Sense and play a $2 or $3 wheel but i dont want to get beat by Todd and Any Given Saturday, this is another race that i looked at for a long time trying to find a horse to beat one of the top to, but i just couldnt, i could not go over 2 in this race or the 10th. Good luck everyone, and once again unless you catch a big price in the first leg i dont think you can break the bank with this ticket but i definitly think its hitable.

I'm not very enthused by the card so my only play as of right now will be a straight exacta Any Given Saturday over Optimistic Steve. . .

i dont like it much either i only like the 4 races in the pick 4 sequence, but there is not much else tommorw, i dont like anything at gulf or the big A, i like lukas's horse in the rebel but he will be short price.

do you think optimistic steve will run good ? i looked at the race for a long time and i thought maybe most distinguished could get into the exacta if one of the big 2 runs bad.

I've liked Optimistic Steve since his debut (see my posts in the "two year olds to watch" thread in the trip notes section). . . His last race was pretty impressive and I think he's got the running style to get a piece. . .

do you think he can win, should i put him in my pick 4, i mean if he wins you could possibly catch a huge pick 4, even if the other 3 races are chalk.

He has a SLIGHT chance to win if there's enough pace in the race. . . I'm not sure he's quite at the level that AGS is and the level that Street Sense can be when he's 100%. . . If you haven't watched the replays of Optimistic Steve's races- take a look. . . He's got a nice kick

POINTGIVEN1985 · #8 03-17-2007, 05:14 PM

i cannot belive that todd's horse is favored over my typhoon im unloading on her to win, if shes losses im ****ed because shes keyed in my pick 4, but i like her so much its worth the risk, good luck to everyone and lets all hope my typhoon gets it done

#9 03-17-2007, 05:19 PM

she looks reat on the track. not sure set up of race as I don't have a form here, however on looks it's between top 3 with Typhoon looking best.

POINTGIVEN1985 · #10 03-17-2007, 05:34 PM

totally agree, any given saturday ran huge i have alot more respect for him now, but wow the champ was impressive first off the layoff, trainer said he wouldnt be tight the mile goes in 1:33.4 i was impressed with street sense today

POINTGIVEN1985 · #14 03-17-2007, 06:06 PM

who won ?

GPK · #15 03-17-2007, 06:09 PM

Good to see a guy like Nafzger having continued success..

Perfect trip for Street Sense...but I did like the move he made turning for home. Nice little burst. AGS was of course a little wide the whole race and that surely made the difference in the winning margin. I think they both can move forward off this race.

Me too, Kev, a fine horseman, I'm very pleased to see his colt come back on top. Fantastic race.

GPK · #17 03-17-2007, 06:22 PM

I could be mistaken, but it appeared to me a bit early in the race that Street might be spinning his wheels a bit over the quirky surface...but after the middle move and stretch run...I think he took to it fine.

Hard not to root for good guy like Carl

johnny just tanked his ride. Oh well, good race and Saturday proved some gameness. I really wish JV would have tried the rail.

POINTGIVEN1985 · #20 03-17-2007, 06:10 PM

well the horse had alot of edges coming in over street sense, race over the track, a prep, ultra hot connections, so i think street sense getting the rail only evens things out
