Day 28
Best bet- Race 8- #2 Growth Engine- ran well here last summer. Won his prep in fine fashion in Jersey last time and should get plenty of pace to run at.

Longshot- Race 9- #7 Valid Point- it’s worth watching a replay of his last, if for no other reason, watching him have nowhere to go for nearly 3/4’s of the race is really something. I think the fact he shows up here is a very good sign. It’s not like Chad Brown didn’t already hold a strong hand and there were much easier spots he could’ve picked. I won’t pretend to think I can judge workouts, but I watched his workouts since getting to Saratoga and while he is a turf horse, outworked Peter Pan winner Country Grammar on dirt and looks like the rider is having a hard time holding him because he is so full of run. Has more speed than his stablemates early so should get first run and figures to be at least 10-1. Good enough for me.

Valid Point struggled, as did all of the Chad Brown horses in the Fourstardave. Growth Engine looked like he would win but struggled the final furlong finishing 3rd

Meet totals
$224 wagered
$193.80 returned

Day 29
Best bet- Race 7th- #3 Free Enterprise- I feel like he could possibly be speed of the speed if he’s sent. Considering some of the mind boggling rides we’ve seen from Castellano this meet that might be wishful thinking but ultimately I think he’s the best horse in the race.

Longshot- Race 8- #1 Call Me Love- she should be 5th choice in here and I think she has a very good shot at winning. I think the others have some question marks. Will Mean Mary be as effective shorter? Is Rushing Fall as effective at 9 furlongs? Is Sistercharlie of the last two back or is she ready to be a mom? Give me the price and the hottest combo at the meet

Call Me Love was awful. Free Enterprise was held off slow pace, made winning move up rail and rider in his back was outfinished by two stronger jocks.

Day 30
Best bet- Race 2- #6 Impazible Donna- off for a long time but debut was strong and seems to be working well. Not much in here and like outside draw

Longshot- Race 8-#1 Atomic Blond- she projects to be 5th choice in here, is drawn well, working well and I like the trainer switch.

Impazible Donna misses by a 1/2 length paying $3.80 to place. Atomic Blonde sat a good trip but had nothing late.

Best bet- Race 6-#3 Gone Glimmering- Stalks Glass Ceiling and wears that one down late

Longshot- Race 4- 1/1A entry- I see them as going off 4th betting choice at best and I think both have upside.

Best bet- Race 4-#3 Southern Brigade- attracts Rosario, first off the claim for Sharp who won first off the claim yesterday, won last time, figures to get right trip, along in time

Longshot- Race 7- #4 Honey Won’t- has to be a hot pace with the 2,5,9. He’s the best closet and should be along in time at a fair price

At first glance I thought that horse was an obvious include but the more I looked at the race I felt like it was wide open. Hats off to you to take a 2nd time starter in this one. Final time in the last has me skittish, 1:12? I know it says geared down, but that won’t win this race IMO. I will most likely use for coverage but might be the first to get axed when structuring tickets.

It’s a tough race and there were other horses I could’ve selected as a best bet (For example I love Funny Guy, but another tough race) but I just think there’s a lot of upside. Even the geared down comment is misleading because Irad was whipping just before he wrapped up. I’m hoping on improvement and banking on a big step forward

gamblin4ever 08-29-2020 12:17 PM

Good luck today. Both picks seem to have big chances

Just wrote up my thoughts on the Forego. Maybe the most fascinating race from a pure capping standpoint I've looked at in a while. I also really like Funny Guy (although made Win Win Win my top pick) -- curious your take on the rest of the field in there if you have time.

Either way good luck and nice picking of late. Keep it rolling...I'm not huge on Midnight Surprise today but may try to find a way to include and will likely be betting Love and Love as well if the price is right today.

Day 34
Best bet- Race 7- #1 Short Pour- had about 3 things go wrong in the first 1/4 last time. To her credit, she made a little wide move towards the lead nearing the stretch on a day where the 1st three finishers rode the rail. She was never near the rail. As long as she breaks, she takes them wire to wire.

Longshot- Race 10- #5 Sol Del Sur- hoping he got a lot out of his debut. Has to contend with the runner up last time again and Chad’s runner, as well as the rail horse who has plenty of turf pedigree, but if I’m right and he takes a step forward, can win at a solid price.

Dancin with Andy,

I had a horse finish 3rd yesterday.

Not sure what your definition of a couple is, but my best bet on Thursday won and paid $25.

The truth is tough for you, huh?

My guess is Andy would think it is hilarious you or anyone else thinks I’m copying his or anyone’s else’s picks. I’m sure a lot of people like Short Pour today. Especially people who look at races similarly like Andy and I do.

You’re so far gone that you stopped making even a little bit of sense and are on full meltdown mode daily. It’s hilarious to watch.

But I digress....if I’m so bad, you could always take me on head to head....loser leaves the board. You’re afraid to, which sort of sums up your entire routine.

Make sure to get that thread from yesterday removed. Not a good look (again) for you.

You lied and I corrected you. I certainly wasn’t bragging. Although I was bragging about my best bet that won on Thursday and paid $25. Strangely enough you keep ignoring and avoiding.

Weird....

Begging occurs when an animal attempts to solicit from someone who controls them...OBVIOUSLY I CONTROL YOU CAUSE YOU'RE BEGGING TO PLAY AGAIN – can you please cease from begging me for another “head on” – as I predicted that you would -- I PREDICTED YOU WOULD -- I informed the members that you would try to make it a 2 outta 3… but… you got ground into Tapeta on Friday – stop begging … it's over ... you lost ... fair and square ... tried to show me up ...

Short Pour was rated despite being lone speed by a speed rider and Sol Del Sur was awful.

Day 35- last week of the meet, have some ground to make up, didn’t like the card on the turf, like it even less off the turf.

Best bet- Race 8- #4 Evaluator- seems like there should be plenty of pace to set up his run. Whether or not it materializes is a whole other matter. Trainer is hot, has run well here before

Longshot- Race 5- #10 Have a Heart- I like this horse for one reason and one reason only...Ron Anderson sees fit to put Joel Rosario on a Randi Persaud trained runner

Best bet- Race 8- #4 Slimey- likes the track, likes it wet and should get some pace to run at. I’ve been waiting to bet her back since last time and this looks like a good spot for her.

Longshot- Race 2- #6 My First Grammy- sign of the apocalypse is me picking a Randi Persaud horse and now a Jaime Mejia horse in back to back days but...this is actually the first realistic spot he’s been in since March. Cuts back and should be a price.

We’re also together on that longshot. (Disclaimer: I didn’t see your picks beforehand). I think this is the first time we’ve landed on the same horse. Good luck!

The horse makes sense. I almost never bet that trainer but this one actually has a shot

Agreed. I’m skeptical of the favorite and the Maker/Irad horse, both will take money. We should get a nice price on him.
