12/29: AQU-Carryover Swells

[Kasept]

Despite finding 4 winners in the P6 suggestion, Thursday was a flop as firster Double Notes upended me in the 4th. Street Sass (19-1) stunned the tough feature, quashing the P4, and hopes of a conso payoff as well. Friday, the P6 pot starts out at $107,000, with a quarter mill likely in the coffers by the 1:52pm post time of R4. It iks another treacherous series of races, but let's give at go...

When I was growing up,my best friend thought he was the H.J.I.C.,but he was highly defective(he was so sure that he was too smart to get caught doing anything.)He is in Prison.He was not the H.J.I.C. What do you call it when somebody thinks they are too smart to get caught? Maybe that is all criminals? Who knows.

I'm also intrigued by the 10 in the 4th. Ran credibly in last on the outside on one of the days where you couldn't win from off the pace or off the rail, if I were to make 1 play today that would be it @ 12-1. Needs to improve 5-6 lengths to be competitive for the top slot which I think is very possible with a good trip.

Its nice to see Terranova getting some nice horses these days. Especially in the 2 year old department. Hes one of the good guys.

I realize the bolling pin start to the second has influenced things but is this the "Inner Track Early Speed Ruins Any Real Racing...." bias in play again at the big "A". So much for capping the pick six when closers have such an up hill climb again......

The track has played evenly all week and the second winner benefited from being lone speed, as happens on even racetracks, after having been repeatedly hampered by wide trips.

Outofthebox's hoss in the 2nd came out of a possible key race. The 11/19 race 6 earned a huge figure... so much so that i didn't believe it. But subsequently, the winner came back to win an optional claimer, 5th place finished 2nd in a maiden, and now the 9th place finisher (when placed back at 2 turns) wins at 12-1.

WTF was I doing ignoring the winner? Yeesh..

[hockey2315]

Wolf Trap at 8-1 right now looks like a huge overlay to me. . .

I hated him too, to be honest. A horse that's running in top level allowance races then dropping to 25k and falling off in form is a big red mark to me...

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

my six went down the shitt er..coa and some dumb jocks did me in..

[Kasept]

Well boys.. It's time hop on board the Philscki Train...

He's halfway home!! Pull now for the 1a-8 with Spooky with Multiple Choice (!!)

[Scav]

Steve, who won the 3rd today, new job and not about to stretch the internet policy yet.

[SniperSB23]

Good luck Phil, Sir Tyler T busted me out.
