Mo' Money Matchups from GPK

GPK · #1 08-22-2006, 08:14 PM

Toga on Weds.

6th race we have the battle of winless trainers

Im taking Factual Number at +129 over Small Potatoes.

Factual should be close to the pace tomorrow and that has been the place to be thus far on the turf at Toga so far. Small Potatoes looks to lolly gag around too early in the race and leave herself too much work to do in the end.

9th race

Taking Act As If at +150 over Bunnabunnabunna.

Bunna beat Act As If by 5 lengths last out, but that was on dirt. Act is 2nd off his layoff, should be fitter and trying grass for the first time and I think he will take to the sod big time. I think dirt is Bunna's much preferred surface over grass.

Just responding to this thread since you're whining in the paddock.

FN finishes 3rd behind Small Potatoes in 2nd......Bejerano had SP closer to the pace today and I did not anticipate that at all.

and who the heck wins the race but Eibar Coa....on a first time starter at 8-1...F me running backwards.

Sorry dude! But hey, isn't that the first match up you have lost? You have an awesome record with those. I didn't even know you could bet those until you told me the other day. I may have to look into that this weekend. My husband is actually the one who wants to start an account to bet on the races.

I really thought I had a shot in that race, but Bejerano fooled my by having Small Potatoes up on the pace today. I lost, but I can't complain as I got my moneys worth out of the race.

Did you have that winner? I would NEVER have guessed that horse.
