9/3: Saratoga (Day 36-C/O)

Kasept · #1 09-03-2007, 06:21 AM

A valuable lesson about Saratoga, and horseplaying in general, came Sunday... On the penultimate day of the meet, after largely mediocre results for 34 days, discovering Mission Approved ($70.00; $173.00 Exacta; $1,448.00 Tri) in the Saranac guarantees a profitable meet. If things are not going as well as you would like, you simply have to keep plugging. Continue doing what you always do, as the horses will 'run your way' and get you whole if you remain confident about your approach.

Hope you did well yesterday, and did well during Saratoga. It's been a great 6 weeks... $100,000+ carryover that MUST be distributed today...

Steve,
Just curious as to why on your pick 6 play you singled the 3 in the 8th yet in the pick 4 play you chose to go 2 deep & single the 9th?

northeastbound123 · #3 09-03-2007, 08:17 AM

any thoughts on the PA derby?

Martin · #4 09-03-2007, 08:37 AM

Steve,

Thanks for the Mission Aproved pick. I singled Irish Smoke and Crusader to hit a 1,262.00 P-3. A P-3 with 2 favorites and it pays this only Bykster can cap these payouts. Great work Steve

Alright **** it. Race 5, the first leg of the pick six has a very interesting horse. The #1 Big Brown has a very VERY solid work 3 back, 59.3 on the TURF. It really looks like that was the work to see what he had and then these last two were maintenance works. Prado was aboard for Reynolds until yesterday. Probably helped the value a little bit. I won't be able to play him straight but I will be playing him in the pick six. Proceed in tossing the horse now

"won't be able to play him straight but I will be playing him in the pick six."
Why can't you play him straight? Seems to me you have a better shot at making money on a horse you think has a good chance than on hitting SIX horses in a row!! Sorry, but that is stupid logic IMO.

it is stupid logic but I want to play the pick six and i have limited funds. The $108 I do have to spend with two solid singles and 100k in the kitty. The $108 I have to win on him gets me back 750 or 800. Not enough
