I have a small double to that horse but if it wins I finish second in the OTB contest for charity....though there is a runoff with the first two finishers on the first Friday of the New Year.

Must have been someone's lucky numbers... Can't see too many folks singling that one no matter what the ticket scenario.

I have heard before that people single the last alot of the time, kinda of like "getting to the dance" type thing. I think is is ridiculous but to each his own

can't say I saw that one coming. This pk 4 has to be enormous. Carryover to the 26th.

I hit the late double ( Scavs knows ). That horse had an absolutely monsterous trip last time.

All I want for Christmas, is 4 hours to myself to handicap the $162K Aqueduct Double Carryover...

Very nice... $210 on two bucks.

All I want for Xmas is the ability to find a horse like that 4, and have the confidence to bet him EVEN WITH RUDY RODRIGUEZ aboard.

Nice job Andy. Looking back at PP's, it does show stumbled start and checked. Terrible day for me today, other than the 4 in the 6th, couldn't smell a winner today. Of course, that 12 stumbled at the gate. Yikes.

At 23-1 you don't worry about Rudy Rodriguez. Plus, bad jockeys are much less of a danger on speed horses. You only have to worry about the break.

Rudy would win on a very high percentage of the horses Alan Garcia wins on.

Take a look at the replay with the head on. It's ugly.

As for the 12....I only used him because of that contest as a quasi-hedge. My position on horses that debut on the turf going to the dirt has been well established here. If they win.....I lose.

Here we go with the hatred towards Garcia :)

Garcia is competent but gets great mounts. He just makes too many poor choices for my taste and I get tired of hearing how well he rides. To me, Dominguez lays over the current colony and after that you take your chances.

I am glad it appears we've seen the last of apprentice Angel Arroyo. That guy was menacingly bad.

I am surprised Aldo is still around. Dominguez is smart (or whoever manages him is). He dominates all the meets that he rides and makes select high dollar stakes mounts, can't get better then that, so he gets a little cold for 25% of the year, beats winning at 10% against much better competition

blackthroatedwind 12-15-2007 03:56 PM

I don't mind Aldo. I've seen him give some OK rides.

Just got back from a buddies house. Andy, we were all saying we couldn't believe the underlay on the #4 Inda. Good call on the #1. I just didn't like him. I wish I had. For sheets and giggles we tried a hard triple putting the #6 for third and.......we didn't use the #1 on top. Oh well. Monday morning quarterbacking made the #4 in the ninth look real good. I wish I had seen that earlier. Good Call. So......what's everyone doing on Christmas night?
I'd love to see a DT'er bring home that carryover. Good Luck everyone!
