As Usual
 

Two a days ... same as your masturbation regimen ... have a look at my Saratogo Thursday Pic5 ... it only paid me $12,000 ... your buddy Byk has it posted to his Twitter ... good luck with your Monopoly Money ... and ... how is your mamma ??? Still making hot cereal for ya in the morning ..

With Afliction (yours),

The Dancer

Jane Grey was no match for the sharp Terranova repeater, but got up for 2nd paying $4.30 to place. Miss J McKay had the trip from hell, losing at least 2 lengths the first time she had to check and then another 2-3 when she checked around the turn. Rallied to finish 4th, beaten 3/4's of a length. Safe to say she was best, but did me no good.

Day 9
Another skullbuster of a card to end week 2.

Best bet: Race 4- #2 Swashbuckle
I'll admit I'm chasing this horse. Bet him the last two times he has run and he was 2nd at 7/2 and last time 2nd at 7-1 just missing. He's shown a new dimension the last two times being on the lead. I don't think he's fast enough to make the front here, but I actually think that's a good thing. Hoping he falls into a spot right off the lead and takes over top of the lane and hangs on. We'll see.

Longshot: Race 9- #8 Tuscan Queen
A lot of ways to go in here and I wanted to get creative with my choice. Tuscan Queen broke her maiden here impressively last year and then was thrown into stakes. She didn't disgrace herself in the stakes tries and then ran well against better in allowance races. Tried two turns at Gulfstream which is not her game. Went to the shelf and came back at Belmont last time. Was off slow, brushed the gate and then had a horse come over at her, causing her to check slightly. She found herself last and much farther back than usual and out in an okay run to pass a few. I expect a much better effort this time, 2nd off the break, with a big rider change and sharp breeze last week and will get lost on the board.

You have to watch the head on of the 4th to really appreciate how bad Eric Cancel is as a rider. Yanking his horse off the pace, trying to get inside when there is no spot, then gets out moved to a spot around the turn, forced to check into the stretch, etc. Every move he made was the wrong one.

Room full of good riders, if you're riding him (or betting him like me) this meet you must not want to win.

:D:D:D

I like to check in before I make a bet, just to make sure you didn't pick it.
These annual theads are a blessing.:$:

Nah you’re a weirdo stalker.

When you summon up the courage to actually have an opinion let us know.

The guy has the balls to come here every day and put himself out there, he is actually showing a profit so far this meet, and you show up and take a shot at him.

Why don't you put up some picks? Show some courage.

Wgy don't you mind your own business?

Why weren’t you up there telling everyone it was a refund on the pick 4 and pick 3 BEFORE the eighth went ?

Why were you born if you're going to be such a complete and total waste of space?

It's a message board, everything here is everyone's business.

Did I really need to explain this to you?

You wanted me to take matters into my own hands and charge the announcer's booth? Should I have tied Johnny I up first or brought some muscle?

All because of Phish tickets you embarrass yourself like this. Sad.

You didn’t think it prudent to get it out to the tv audience? Or maybe it took them that long to follow protocol, which apparently they weren’t sure what it was,
Someone must be making these decisions. You really telling me that you didn’t say to yourself “ we have to announce this.” ? You were just sitting there saying duh, I wonder what they’re gonna do ?

Imagine embarrassing yourself, continuously, for over a decade, because someone was too busy to get you last minute Phish tickets.

It's enough to make anyone, except ( apparently ) one person, shudder.

Why deflect instead of giving an honest answer ?

Because only an idiot wouldn't know the answer ( I get it, that's giving Konk too much credit, but to be fair, he probably hasn't read this thread yet ).

But I'll be nice ( not that you deserve it )....I'm not the President or CEO of NYRA. I am not in charge of TV. I am not in charge of mutuals. I am not a Steward. Employees that act like they run the show get fired. I explained the situation as soon as I was given the information and the OK to divulge it. Most functioning adults ( yes, I know, this doesn't include you ) got this and were OK.

All this foolishness over some Phish tickets. Get over it.

Fair enough. Thought the bosses listened to you.

I’ve never seen phish or Grateful Dead at Spac. I did see Trey band there once. I guess that afternoon when my brother injured his back at Sean’s party must have you confused. Phish tickets has nothing to do with this. You are delusional to think my NYRA complaints have to do with you personally. Think about it. If you quit tomorrow do you actually think I wouldn’t feel the exact same way about the NYRA cash grab up there. Really ?

Phish tickets?
Don't get mad over Phish tickets.

Widespread Panic tickets - now that's something to hold a grudge about.

Here’s where a little honesty and self reflection on your part would go a long way. For someone who can’t wait to tell others how long they have been sober, you’re not too big on the 12 steps, huh? My guess is you lied and took the lazy way on that too.

The crux of your hard on is absolutely the Phish tickets. Everything else is just filler. All of the wrongs in this sport and the only time you ever emerge from your cave and post about any of them is when NYRA does something. Whatever floats your boat man but just understand you’re not fooling anyone.

Saratoga like most things is changing. Deal with it. I’m sure everyone would like it to stay the same way it was in 1992 but in 2022 it’s not realistic. You either adapt or die. Anyone who has taken a business class surely understands this. The changes aren’t designed for the free loaders like you who don’t spend a dime at the track. You make your bologna and cheese sandwiches in the morning with your bottled water and eat it soggy after the 4th race while still complaining about some crossing guard who asked you to wait for the horses to cross after you walked a mile in the heat to save a few bucks on parking.

The changes are for the people that come to the track for an experience, that have the discretionary income and spend it. It’s a great place to go and people understand that and most understand you have to pay. Been to Fenway or Wrigley recently? How about the first or second new Yankee stadium? How about a minor league game? Disney world? How much you think a beer or a bottled water is at any of those places?

Deal with it man. You’ve been whining to your audience of 3 on twitter for YEARS and nothing has changed. Stop being the guy in the neighborhood yelling at the kids to stay off his lawn. You’re not that old yet.

Swashbuckle got the standard Eric Cancel embarrassing ride. Tuscan Queen took big money, went off 7/2 and ran 2nd paying $4.80 to place.

Day 10
Another day where I'm not too fond of the card. Treading lighty

Best bet: Race 4- #4 Kimari
This one will be carrying a lot of weight as I see quite a few people like her, but I just think she makes the most sense. bella Sofia is a really nice filly, but she does not appear to be the same horse this year as last, Rudy is winless so far and she should get some pace pressure from the 3. I think Kimari sits the perfect trip right off them and she's had some excuses her last two.

Longshot: Race 10- #8 Dover Dreams
Faced some good ones last year and did not disgrace herself. This race is SUPER tough but there is a lot of speed signed on and even though this one leaves the Chad Brown barn, Brendan Walsh is no slouch. Expect her to be coming late and any kind pf improvement from last year puts her there. She won't be 12-1, but would take half of that

Bella Sofia was indeed vulnerable and Kimari got a nice ride, nailing Frank's Rockette late paying $8.10 and $4.50. Dover Dreams wants longer, was far back, put in a nice late run to get up for 5th. Tab for later in the meet going two turns?

Day 11
Weather may be an issue, hopefully the rain holds off.

Best bet: Race 4- #3 Two for Charging
Looked like he needed a race in his debut where he showed little speed and put in a nice run for 3rd. Last time he broke on top and was right on a pace that fell apart. Seems to be working well and I think Prat works out a good trip for this one.

Longshot: Race 7- #6 Thin White Duke (turf only)
This one has ran well sprinting earlier in his career. I think he ran into a good one last time and I like the cutback. Donk barn still going well and I think he gets lost on the board.

Two for Charging showed the debut was no fluke, coming off the pace to run down the favorite, paying $16 and $6.60. Thin White Duke ran a much improved race, closing fast to be second behind a horse who is probably heading for stakes, and paid $5.70 to place

Day 12
Another day where I struggled with the card.

Best bet: Race 8- #5 Anaconda
This horse has teased with some big ability at times. His debut was strong, they tried him two turns, back to sprinting and then he was off for 13 months. His return this January was very good, then they stretched him back out where he ran a decent 3rd behind the eventual SF Mile winner. Went down the hill after that, got a very passive ride early and then put in a good late run. Another passive ride last time and again put in a decent run. Was a private purchase after his last and ends up in a very shrewd barn who adds blinkers. I think we see the good Anaconda today.

Longshot: Race 5- #7 Sebaray
I know Sweeping Giant towers over this field on paper but this seems like such a questionable drop. They paid $350k for him, he ran back to back seconds in his first two and then had trouble in a stake. Why show up today for 40k? I'm going with Sebaray. He ran much better first time in the Ray Handal barn than he had shown for Marya Montoya and was meant for turf that day. Plenty of grass pedigree on the dam side as she has produced a few turf winners including a stakes winner and stakes placed horse. Would like to see Dylan Davis aggressive early with him and should be a very fair price.

Anaconda was horrible. Slow early and never involved. I couldn't have had the winner anyway. Sebaray ran a decent third. Maybe a more aggressive ride and he's second, but was never beating the winner.

Day 13
Another very difficult day, but fantastic betting card

Best bet: Race 10- #3 Orchestration
I know a lot of people are going to gravitate towards Capensis for good reason. he was super impressive in his debut, validating the hefty purchase price. I have no real knock against him, but I want to see him do it again and the post is no bargain. I thought Orchestration looked like a runner with a nice future last year. Not the best ride in his debut, broke maiden here and then was sawed off at Keeneland when he was really moving well. Layoff a concern obviously but should be a rare Chad Brown/Irad horse that isn't overbet.

Longshot: Race 5- #7 Big Bobby
By no means am I in love with this horse, but I thought this was a race full of speed and wanted to take a runner who I thought would be coming late. Total no show in return, but good to see no dramatic drop and he's improved in his second start off the break each time he has had a layoff. Will be every bit of his 10-1 ML and if he can still run at all, should get conditions suited for him

Capensis was indeed vulnerable at even money (!) and was off the board. Orchestration ran well and maybe would've won if he was able to get out a bit sooner. He did win the photo for 2nd, paying $6.10 to place.

Big Bobby took way more money than I was thinking, going off at 5-1. The pace meltdown didn't really materialize (shocking in NY) and Big Bobby ran well to finish a non threatening 3rd.

Day 14
End of the second week already and for all of the days where I have not liked many cards, I really like todays card. Which means I'll probably go 0 for 10.

Best bet: Race 5- #9 Baby Blythe
I flirted with putting a few horses in this spot but ultimately landed on a horse I have thought highly of since her debut. Post is no bargain with the run into the far turn, but I think Baby Blythe has shown hints of ability a few times in her career. Two back she needed one behind a crawling pace and won the match race last time, somehow as the 2nd choice. She exploded here last year to a big one, albeit over the widener and hopefully she gets a little pace to run at. I think 3rd off the layoff we see her best and I'm hoping she shows up with her "A" race because ultimately I think she's the best horse in here

Longshot: Race 8- #1 L'Imperator
Not a longshot per se, but I think this one will be the longest shot of the 5 in here. Tough to make much out of his race two back in the bog, but I thought his race last time was much better than it looked. Cancel yanked him off the lead as his uncoupled stablemate stole the race. He was putting in a run when he had to pause in traffic and was still coming. LOVE the rider switch to Manny who should be aggressive from the inside and I think he can win this on the lead or right off. Another rare price on a Chad horse

My picks are showing a profit for the meet (so far), which I know pisses you and MANY others off.

Not to mention I can guarantee more people are looking at my picks than listen to your podcast. I mean...you told someone you were me. That says a lot.
You're the definition of irrelevant.

Coming from you that is a compliment.

Everything I said in my post was a fact. My picks are showing a profit so far. You told AZDave you were me when you met him. More people pay attention to my picks than your podcast that no one knows or cares about. You're totally irrelevant.

You can't dispute anything I've said which is why you responded the way you did.

Wait, this clown misrepresented himself as you to another member in person?

That's pretty bad. Then again, since I know you, it's understandable. You've got it all.

Yeah I'm the total package

You know that none of us are actually betting $2WP on these horses, right?

Either you or your buddy AZ Dave is lying because he’s the one that told me he met someone at an OTB that was looking at this site and that person told him he goes by Dahoss on the board. You confirmed multiple times it was you he met and he told me via pm that you said you were me.

I thought it was hilarious someone would pretend to be me as well. But as we’ve all seen, you’re a pretty troubled guy so it made sense.

Again, I have the pm’s from AZ Dave. Either you’re lying or he is.
