4/19: KEE (Lex/P4); PIM (Tesio)
Fifty cent option might have been the right approach to Friday's P4 at Keeneland. Came away feeling like I had right idea trying to spread in 2nd and 4th legs, but budget kept 'Best Value' feature winner Carriage Trail (9-1) and nightcap logical inclusion William Tell (5-1) off the play. Fun, tough sequence brought back close to $700 on the .50 version alone. Hope I was able to at least get some of you to include Carriage Trail if you hadn't looked at her. Though the slow pace and Panty Raid's dull as dirt return were key, the fact that Shug ran back with her in <10 days was telling... He's only done that 5 times in the last 3 years. He's now 2 for 6 with 3 ITM hits turning around quick. Hope you did well!
YESTERDAY: http://www.thoroughbredracingradione...d=22&Itemid=38 Lexington highlights Saturday P4 today, and super card at Pimlico too headlined by the Federico Tesio, the traditional prep for the Preakness!

II), 3yo, 8.5f (DD, Super) Most Likely: #10 Riley Tucker 12-1: Can make case his 2 best races were here last and at Arlington over similar strip; Adds goggles and JV and would not surprise as possible 5th Zayat Derby-intended player.. 3rd Best Value: #9 Big Glen 12-1: Note that Brothers' demure colt is 4/4 with clean breaks and unfettered journies; Video review of past successes demonstrate uncommon gameness, and outside draw ideal for stalker's preferred trip.. 5th Next Best: #7 Behindatthebar 12-1: Recent Pletcher acquiree has multiple gears, handy style, and familiarity with synthetic; Comes back quick for undertaking today, but 'other' stablemate angle (Atoned) may apply here with colt that has a future.. WON Exotics Add: #3 Samba Rooster 8-1: Baffert shopped all winter and spring for Triple Crown colt, and while too late for this one (not nominated) to enter Derby fray, speedy number could take them a long way on front end with any adaptation to surface; Would like it soggy too.. 2nd $1 Exacta (7-3) Paid $126.00 $1 Trifecta (7-3-10) Paid $1,227.20 $1 Pick 3 (11/3/7) Paid $279.90 10th: ALW/N1X, 4+, 12f-T (Super High 5) Most Likely: #11 Sunshine Kid 5-2 2nd Next Best: #12 Hold Your Ground 7-2 4th Exotics Add: #4 Biggerbadderbetter 4-1 WON Best Value: #9 Snake River Canyon 12-1 9th $1 Exacta (4-11) Paid $22.50 $1 Pick 3 (3/7/4) Paid $297.60 <$75 P4 Play: 7: (2/SCR)-4-5-8-11 8: 3-5-6 9: 2-5-7-9-10 10: 11-12 4x3x5x2 = $120 x .50 = $60 PIMLICO 9th: Federico Tesio, 3yo, 9f #3 ICHABAD CRANE (8-1): Motion's NY bred was even third in Rushaway behind Blue Grass rough trip victim Miner's Claim and likely Lex player Big Glen establishing open company bona fides; Appears certain to receive pace he'll like at distance he'll adore; Load or key up at anything above 5-1..

Downside was P4 was there to be had, and was sorry that Ichabad Crane couldn't stay over $10.00... Other than actually placing bets for people, I'm not sure what else I could have done today.

http://www.nbwebexpress.com/newbalanceMR1123MC.htm F.uck the 992's. They're nice and all but for 20 bucks more I can have better. I'd say the post was the reason why he was scratched. |

That's great. Congrats.. and it's my pleasure. The cards at KEE have been challenging, a lot of fun and even with the kooky poly, very playable. Not sure if the feature was a spot you hit, but I thought the Blue Grass result made the Lexington particularly approachable. And was shocked that Tomcito was bet in this spot when he and Atoned were total play-againsts.
