Default 9/18: Belmont (4th-9th)

Left irksome Peleliu off the P4 ticket opener Wednesday, while running 2nd-3rd-4th-5th. That came ahead of three straight on top winners, and while the Quad was just $104.50+ ($1), I was still upset that I made the wrong call regarding the wire job frontrunner. Upon second glance, the first off the claim Persaud grey was more dangerous as nearly lone speed than perceived.

The day wasn't lost though, as I was able to offer up a juicy bingo in the feature when "Most Likely" Blitzen Too and "Next Best" Absolute Heaven did their job 1-2 and 45-1 "Exotics Use" Western Slang morphed the triple into a $214.50 score for each dollar ($429.00 for $2). Hope you did OK...

Absolutely terrific Thursday card at Belmont... Deep and challenging fields with superior horseflesh and serious race conditions including 3 ALW's, a state bred turf sprint stake, MSW lawn route and a mind-numbingly deep $25k/N3L at 1 mile on the main. Should be fun!

Being a stalker helps earn those perfect trips. Does a horse need to change its' running style to gain "respect"?

The scratch of Canadian Ballet changes the pace scenario here quite a bit, but I'm quite content to anticipate successful runs from horses like Lost Without You regularly.

The last two class jumps off layoffs of this duration have seen the LWY move forward by 5 TGH points winning both as the comp. became tougher Today's setup implies that there is a 60% chance she will either match her top or move forward even further, either of which will win this race. Whether it's been Hill, Prado or today JR it doesn't matter the horse should win this race and is probably the best bet on the card and worthy of a single in the multi's....

Thx DD..

Always feels particularly good getting it right when excluding a horse (Cool Tales) you find suspect as chalk.

Taking a shot with the balance in my account, so hopefully, I hit these or the P3's or else my weekend wagers will be VERY limited. Will be at Pha for The Cottilion with a few buddies.

$1 tri key 5 in all 3 spots with 1,3,8,10 and key again with 3,7,11
$4 tri 3,5 with 3,5 with 8,10,11
$5 ex box 5 with 3,8
$5 ex box 1,5
$14 to WIN on 5

$122 total, which leaves my account bone dry @ .40 cents. Need a winner, winner, chicken dinner!!

GL all!!

And that, folks, is how you piss away money!! Congrats to anyone who had the triple or the super, for they were rewarded with a nice payoff.

Nice job on the P4 Steve!

It's kind of funny...I got knocked out of two pools in two weeks. It was dumb for me to pick the stinking Chiefs, but after watching Oakland the week before I thought they'd be a sure winner. Oh well! Yes, BC party at Tom's again this year.......................JUST Bring the EARPLUGS because you know who will be there.
