Went six wide in the seventh and still didn't have the eight horse.

But had 5 of 6 in contest picks ... x2. x3 if I get the fav in the fifth after the two scratched. Still wouldn't have made much profit though.

Took a shot.
 

I guess I was late, that is what I get for having a day job.:(

Never could have come up w/ Coa @ 2-1. Must have tried to sneak one by.

I just saw that 5 of 6 paid $316 so if you had that, which it seems you did, for maybe a couple times, at least you didn't lose any money on that play.

Yeah, I had two consos. I also used the hopeless Contessa entry in the 7th ( the second finisher was a " C " for me and I lost the Cs when the first winner won as she was a " B " ).

On the other hand, if the second finisher had won I would have had the Pick-4 for a few bucks on a hedge play. Though, I did well in the finale anyway so it's close to a wash.

I must admit, I put in all of 12 minutes coming up with that contest-only play early this morning. Had I truly handicapped, I probably would have gotten 2.. And I "borrowed" Gus' single in the 5th to get the play under $800.

Living in Tampa, I've LOVED that guy from the first time I saw him...Won the Inaugrual and the Pasco stakes as a 2 yo....thought if he could stretch out he'd be a world beater....to know he could have been had for 16K - did anyone claim him?

I get paid to give my pre-race selections.

Yeah so do the rest of us if we're right about a selection, it's called a mutuel ticket!!

I know....
 

I know you are in the business and i know that you are well regarded and i know that you think very very highly of yourself. I can tell all of this from all of your past posts.... That said, how about a little humility instead of all of the arrogance???

What arrogance is that? That poster asked me a question and I answered.

You, frankly, have a great deal of nerve behind your computer. I have given my time on this site, who's idea was it in the first place to have these Pick-6 contests and who monitored them in the past, as well as on Steve's radio show, going over numerous Pick-6 carryovers at absolutely no personal gain to me. What the hell have you contributed and who the hell do you think you are coming on here and both determining how I respond, lecturing, and insulting me?

But, hey, it's all good, as I basically don't post here anymore because of the likes of you.

Hey
 

Everyone has an opinion.....
I have never met you so in one respect you are right...
What right do i have to judge you?
That said, there is a certain tone to all of your answers that maybe i am just misjudging.... Just because you give your time to shows and this board doesn't make you or anyone else, myself included a saint...

It's sad Andy. I was just talking to a fellow DTer yesterday at lunch about you less frequently posting here. We came to the conclusion that you didn't feel like dealing with some of the nonsense on the board and the personal attacks. No less than 24 hours later it happens. I'm sure I'll get reamed for saying this and not that your ego needs stroking (making a joke) but there are some of us out here that enjoy your humor and appreciate your knowledge.

as an innocent bystander, that did sound pretty arrogant......please don't call me out from behind my computer, I really love it here.

I'm a saint.

I will pray...
 

Saint Sent to Stud

Sorry, I meant savant, not saint. Always get those mixed up.

Took a shot
 

Just because I even saw the word CHEAT in response to this contest, even if it was in my defense (thanks BTW), I need to point out that cheaters do not generally go four deep when one knows the winner. No???:D
