12/11: Aqueduct (6th-9th)
Sloppy play and/or poor decision-making cost a very nice overlaid P4 at Hollywood yesterday of nearly $560. Leaving $28.00 Next of Kendra off to start the ticket was the culprit, unless you designate not singling 2-5 Tenacious Tina in the 7th as the costliest miscue. Either way, this was a sequence that had a broad target on it and I missed.
Looking back at the races after the card concluded was hard to take, as the P6 paid $38,600. On the day, I came up with 3 Most Likely on top winners, a 2nd choice Best Value and the 2 slightly harder to find winners (5th/8th) as Super Adds. While it's silly to say the P6 could have been hit, it's stunning that the sextet paid that well on a group of races that didn't offer full fields or very confusing scenarios. I almost never play a P6 without a carryover, but seeing what happened yesterday would give pause to think about what situations make it attractive without a bonus pot. Hope you did OK. AQUEDUCT POST-SCRATCHES 6th: CLM/N1Y, 3+, 6f (P4, P3, DD, Super) Very tricky low level claiming event with mish mosh of out of form types and general misfits..

Surprised they're running as frigid as it is here today. I've always said I don't think jockeys should be allowed to use whips when it's this cold. Seems inhumane.

Does the stretch to the line have the horses traveling east or with the wind? Recently I heard Andy make mention of some sort of index that evaluates track bias and on one particular card Auqueduct had the strongest closer bias ever at 160?? for whatever that means. Do you know anything about this stuff Steve? I'll hang up now and listen to your answer....lol.
