so much for my single in the 1st leg of the P6 :(

As expected there's a bunch.....Glad I didn't really dig into this card yet

Steve, R6 - now that we don't have True Cause as part of that Godolphin entry, do you feel as strongly about this selection on top w/ Minefield?
Trainer stats are a relatively small sample with obvious quality stock, but 55% of 11 off the +180 days and 32% first time with is hard to ignore

I agree with Jim. Surfer is a single in the pk6, and I am adding the 5,10,12 at big odds in the pk4. I am not a beliver in Truckee on top but he is a plodder who should hit the board. With Paula owning and traing, and purchasing this one for $17k, I think it is in for the win. Plus it was 55-1 on the board last out, so while it has not run too bad it is obvious the public has been looking for a drop. That does influence sometimes.

TGIF ... Weekend mode starts with the late Pick-4

1,2,5,9/5,6/2,5,7,1,4,9/1,8==>$96.00
5,9/5/2,9/1,2,5,6,8,9======>$24.00
5,9/3,4,7/1,2,9/8,1========>$36.00
2/3,4,5,6,7/2,1,7,8/1,8=====>$40.00
======
196.00

Good Luck All

PS...

Great day yesterday Steveo...

the 5f in the 3rd scares me a bit....all of the chalk will be stalking or closing....do you think any other prices look interesting? Like the 11 which adds blinkers back and continues to drop?

For purposes of the P4, yes. Prefer to isolate there and fish elsewhere for prices including the nightcap. If you don't accept the entry in the 6th, then it gets wacky needing 2-3 to cover.

I am hoping to get all nuts on this thing tonight, but it entails hitting the early DD without Noble Court, I like Cerin's horse a little. 1,5/1 DD

Well, good luck.....I am not crazy about that play but I will cheer you home Scavs as I want you to come hard at the 6 tonight.

i'm can't find anything really. the 11 adding blinkers? well they tried that before, i'm not buying it. to me it looks like they in desparation mode and will try anything, dropping, blinkers, etc. don't think it will matter.

I would be shocked if the winner wasn't either the 9 or 3, perhaps the 1.

look at the 4, rocketship and getting Lasix BACK finally

yes scavs, just added the 4 to my pk4...specially since the speed ball 7 Melodious has scratched......

that horse can hold for 5f, and the re-addition of Lasix is a huge positive IMO....

What are the thoughts on the 9, Tanner's Rocket, in the 6th race? Looks competitive on speed figures, and Steve sees fit to place in the #1 spot in his selections, but I'm concerned about wheeling back on 5 days rest after a 1 1/16 effort in which he appeared to tire late.

yeah I did look at the 4, as he was about the only other one I thought might have a shot. I'm pretty hohum on him though, you can see the 1 and the 3 in his pp lines, and he didn't fare very well against them before. He does have some speed so its not entirely impossible. I'm not convinced that adding the lasix at this point is a big deal. I think this guy needs a soft field of calbreds at Fairplex.

5f is the ONLY thing he has going for him. If it was 6f I agree he would get drummed by these like the past...

Steve,

maybe i'll bring you some luck tonight b/c there is no way Jimmie Pong gets anywhere on my tickets. The reason why i say it will bring you luck is b/c i've been standing on an iceberg the last month or so. This horse is a consistent hanger, cost me a nice PK4 last out and though it looked like he was gonna get by Lil Nugget in the previous race he just hung on and held the 2nd place spot.

I finally agree, I am singling the 6 also, Paula ****s me and it will be tilt time because otherwise, I should hit it. I am considering Moogie in the 7th, back to O'Neil is my only angle.....(good recent works)
