I stop giving my $$ after the 3rd race...I could see it was going to be "one of those" days for me and I was better off keeping my $$ in the bank.

(Plus, I was a bit distracted to concentrate on what was going on anyhow. :p )

Personally, I think it was like just a tad too many races...Breeder's Cup is'nt what is has been for me in years past thats for sure.. Could almost give 2
sh!ts anymore....sad.:(

Hit the superfecta in the classic and got screwed by IRS and state taxes. Hoping to see curlin off the board....maybe would have gotten 20-30k, but happy with 10k.;)

The horse ranked very high (2nd) on the PaceFigures program I use in certain categories, and as Steve mentioned several times on ATR , the local horses & jocks who know the course should have an advantage, Thanks Steve :) :

Also, did hit the turf superfecta for 40 cents and classic superfecta and got screwed by IRS and state taxes. Hoping curlin was off the board and maybe would have gotten 20-30k, however, overall very happy!!!:)

well, it worked for you, congrats on the hit!

I won about 50 grand. Hey it's the internet!!!

LOL and if you find one good luck getting to your destination - was asked for directions in the marriott hotel parking lot friday nite by a group of very inebriated degenerates stuffed in a cab [appeared to be coming from an airport] the driver was trying to find the OTHER marriott [east huntington vs. west huntington] later found out it was only a couple of blocks in the other direction but bet anything they drove around couple more hours going in circles, jhc they were very drunk and that driver was hopelessly lost, hope their room wasnt given away if they ever got there to check-in...

Had my best day ever.

I had Muhannak in the 1st, the exacta in the 2nd (cause i like Desert Code and i usually get silly and include a sentimental horse even if they don't have a shot:D ). Was alive in the pick 3 till Well Armed decided to screw me. He was my single for the day. Not good.

Messed up the Mile and Juvy but had Donativum, had the exacta, was all over Fatal Bullet and threw Midnight Lute in at the last minute so had the sprint (ex and tri, sucks cause I had Street Boss and In Summation too but didn't play a super) , hit the 10 cent super in the Turf which was REALLY fun :) . Eagle Mountain was my horse for the day but I knew to box some of the Euros, that Conduit would be there, that Soldier was gooood and that Dancing Forever had a beter shot than the rabbit.

Liked Henry, screwed up the Classic in a big way.

All in all came home with just over (an additional) 1200. which, considering what I played on Eagle and Fatal Bullet to win was just fine. Watched my closest freind go from having a mere 30. left to making 2 trips to the IRS window so yeah... a good day.

Grade jub:wf


I seem to be one of the very few that lost $ of the two days:wf

Oh don't worry. I'm positive that if any of these redboarding cretins posted their picks in the selection room before the races then they would be losers too. ;)

I'm an admitted wagering idiot. If I had ANY CLUE of how to wager at all, I would have made a bundle this weekend. But I didn't. I used 3 horses in the Juvy Filly Turf Friday on one of my pick 3 tickets (singled Maram on two other tickets). The horses I used ran 1,2,3. Do you think I am intelligent enough to play the exacta and tri?? Um know...:wf If I simply box those 3 horses in ex and tri for $2 each I make $300 on the exacta and $1800 on the tri. But again..my handicapping is far better than my wagering.

I'm done with Pick 3's and 4's. Its exactas all the way for me now and I'll tell ya I see the light, really do. Now granted I got spanked Friday but man I made it back on Saturday. I just really would rather focus on one race at a time and try to hammer it for first and second then string together 3 or 4 races where either it gets chalky, a bomb blows it up etc etc.. Consider also that I for the most part am gambling under $75 - the exception is days like yesterday and Friday. If I would not have hit the exacta in the classic I would have lost $160 over the two days.

Not true- that isn't even the highest Hofmans payoff- he had Adoration that paid close to $100 back in '03.

I was money on Friday and miserable on Saturday. Had a few winners but didn't construct winning tickets.

Too much of my money went through Fabulous Strike in the Sprint.

after i decided to stop posting my bets here, i won back everything i had lost, made a nice profit, met 26 yr old actress that just graduated from med school and now we're expecting triplets.

it was a pretty good day.

well, then that's just one more thing they got wrong the other day.

LOL.... Some of us bet with real money and are a bit too busy concentrating to bother posting.. But from reading your picks after the fact I'm sorry I didn't catch them beforetime so I could leave them off my ticket...

late pick 4 saturday
 

Committed to the euros and cashed 2700 on pick 4 on a 70.00 ticket..had diabolical wheeled underneath and caught ridiculous exacta. Tough beat was on friday when the 11 )Lonely Heart) didnt get up in time..cameras followed the wrong horse after the wire causing huge letdown as I missed win bet and exacta. cant afford pick 6 but can see if I had played hitting it..
shoulda coulda woulda

This isn't big score but maybe about how much of a moron I am. I was telling everyone that would listen that the Turf Sprint was an all race given how the race would run and all the traffic issues down that f'n hill. So not listening to myself I had this P4 ticket played

2: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,12,13,14
3: 1,7,8
4: 4,5
5: 11

$24 more dollars and I nail the early P4 for $5500, and I was talking about that race being an all race since I saw it. f'n moron

Oh real bets? Like betting Oaklawn in September?

http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...2&postcount=32

I'm just curious...have you ever posted a winner on here before the race that paid half as much as that redboard?


:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I got completely hosed all weekend.

Was right about a couple of things but couldn't seal the deal on them. Singling Ventura got me live into a trio of BIG pick-3s in the JF Turf, but none of my runners were anywhere to be found after turning for home.

It was a fun weekend, I just didn't get any of the little breaks I needed to cash some tickets.

Dude... Made a mistake calling it Oaklawn instead of Oaktree. Check the ticket vs the horses running that day.. Good catch bringing it up though. I recommend you spend half the time handicapping as you do posting nonsense and researching others past posts to find mistakes....

How about you put up about 10% of your redboard winnings and we have a handicapping competition, star?

No boxing match this time Coach

:D

No worries there.

I want to see if this clown can pick winners outside of redboarding $1 pick 3's that cost > $90.

Come on coach.... This thread was about talking about our scores and I hit the P3 Sat on Races 1-3.. That is what I said.... Now you decide to comeon and be the usual wiseass talking about redboarding. I'm not wasting my time with you but if you think I am redboarding than how about a 10,000 dollar wager to be donated to the Barbaro fund ? I will send evidence to Byk and the donation can be made in the name of Derbytrail.com to the Barbaro fund... What you say ?

OOOOOOOO

A challenge.

Front row seats.

JMS vs Coach.

Handicapping contest.

Coach lays out the challenge and JMS counters with an upped ante at 10k.

Lets watch.

No contest just the evidence that my win wasn't redboarding. I'm not dumb enough to challange anyone to a handicapping contest for 10 K... Way to many variables... Coach called me out as a liar and I stated I will prove that I hit the early P3 Sat...

You're not wasting your time with me? Is that why you were so "busy" that you couldn't post your selections on here before the races were run? Isn't it odd that you have time today?

:D

The Barbaro fund? Please. You called me out on my handicapping. It should be an easy $500 for you. F.uck Barbaro and his fund. He had filthy rich owners. If I wanted to donate money to a charity it would be for Jerry's Kids. That way you could benefit from it.

Yes I was too busy.. Took about 10-15 minutes to get in my plays. I wasn't about to get shut out like last year. Now I take off a month before I get into the Derbytrail races. So you don't consider a charity realated to horse health a worthy cause ?? Ok then 10,000 dollars to the charity of ones choice in the name of DerbyTrail.Com.... I will provide evidence to Byk that I hit the early P3. Pure and simple.

That's not what my challenge is about, douche. You called me out for my handicapping skills. You have contributed very little on here in the selections thread other than redboards and questions. I, at least, have the courage to put my opinion out there...no matter how bad it is.

See this is the problem. You can show Byk all the proof you want. But with redboarding comes zero credibility. No record can be proven of losers without the honesty of said redboarder.

That's what's wonderful about actually sharing your opinion of the races before they are run. ACCOUNTABILITY.

And like a true coward you have none. Either accept my handicapping challenge or apologize to me for being a douchebag.

All caps...I love it. Is that you Fat Man?:D

I can't stop laughing!!!:D :D :tro:

Just to be safe you can both wire the 10k into my bank to escrow

Nice... You think you saved face here ??? You stated that I am redboarding on my win sat. 10 K says I am not. Let's doit? Why are you not accepting ?Either accept the challange or apoligizefor coming on this thread which is all about our scores and start taking shots. Dude if you think that posting your picks on the Internet defines you as a handicapper than you really need to sit back and readdress the situation. It's money that you take in. 10 K Loser put up or shut-Up

Wow you are a colossal idiot. You don't decline the initial challenge and come back with a ridiculous one.

Ok here it goes. A handicapping competition. The loser gives the winner $500 AND donates $10,000 to the charity of their choice.

At the very least you and every poster in this thread who redboarded and hasn't posted a winner in the last month in the selections room should be darted for a week.

Call me out for posting nonsense on here. Well this thread is linked on dictionary.com under nonsense.

I called you on it and you try and whither away... Why is my challange ridiculous. As a gambler you should know that you get your money in the middle when you are sure... Again you said I am full of SH*IT redboarder and I am willing to put up 10 thousand dollars that I hit the R 1-3 pick 3 saturday. You are pretty sure that I'm full of it so why not take the sure bet and put in the 10 K ? You aren't going to bait me into something which can go either way past upon many different variables. All-In?

I never quoted your redboarding post. YOU are the one that took offense to MY post that was to all redboarders in GENERAL. THEN, you had the AUDACITY to call me out for my HANDICAPPING that was posted BEFORE the races went off. UNLIKE your posts AFTER the fact.

YOU, sir, are a SISSY. I CHALLENGE YOU to a PUD MEASURING COMPETITION.

25 LARGE and a YEARS supply of MAGNUM XL's to the WINNER.

Which will be ME.
