thats not the point. the point is people bitch before they even see odds on the board. thats why i said what i said. its not bragging(well maybe it was,sorry). i wait to see where the money goes to decide if its a bad bet. which is valid handicapping. to complain days ahead of the race is crazy because the odds are a pari mutual. people vote with their money. you won't see value til the moneys down . thats the point. by the way i've been playing for over thirty years and winning. not many can say that. if someone did not come on here crapping on the races before they went off, i would not of written that ! the fact is, in big races, the "hyped" horses get overbet. both of those races were proof of it! it was not a major score but i saw it as easy pickings when the value was weighed in a short field. if you think i don't know what i'm doing fine. judge the races days ahead of the "REAL" odds and see how far it gets you. i feel denagrating a race way ahead of time is missing opportunities.

Her record is now 4-1-1-2. The only reason she lost Saturday is because the pedal got put to the metal about 3/5ths of a second too late and that was not her fault.

Castro was all over her very early on. She didn't really respond at first, but when she did she was on the wrong lead and hung like the mediocrity that she is. She had absolutely no excuse.

Maybe it was the 1:15 pace, a full 2 seconds slower than the Remson...not many fillies are going to overcome that scenario.
