New York Betting Diary and Results 4/14
 

Race 1: Thought Letters #5 would regain old form. Came Flying late, but too late. Finished 4th. Lost 10 beans. 100 bankroll down to 90.

Race #2 Aqueduct......Just a note before I continue. This is a diary from a
low budget perspective. So I started with a real 100 bankroll. Let me get this going in the other direction.

#1 Letthesunshinein: 2nd time start..Thought I'd get 4-1 7 mtp 2/1 Yuck

Oh well the bet is $2 Exacta Box 1 with 2-4-5-6-8

Well that sucks. Sent to the lead and puked in the stretch. The #2 Dagaffney with Dominguez up, ran down #4 Philomatt with Mike Smith aboard.
Dominguez has now won 6 races in the last two days.
Bankroll: $70 Could be a quick day.

Didn't like race three. Tooooooo chalky

So much for it looking Chalky
 

Wow.... #6 Silver Ferrari 13-1 Nice rail skimming ride by Arroyo. The Chalk entry finishes out of the money. GOOD

When will people realize that Holly Time is a quitter?

Race 4
 

In a dreadful off the turf Race. I'll take the #12 and spin him over top
of the #4 and #10 for $5. I'm throwing out the #1 Forecourt.

Well...wrong again
 

Forecourt at 5/2 for fun. Dynamics of the race changed a little when the #9 scratched after running off. Sweetiewheatie tried to close from 15 lengths back. I'm down to $60. I hate this track. So why handicap it? I don't know.

Race #5
 

Well I'm down to $60. This is my first time doing this on this site. Thanks to all that have read a little bit today. I think I have a winner

$10 to Win on Kall Me K

Ships up from Laurel where she's been working. Should improve from last out.
I love Kelly Kip horses. Backbred by Distintive Pro.

Oh What the hell. I'll do a "Hanifin Backwheel" for a buck as well

Total bets: $17

19th time's the charm. Karakorum Knockout finally gets it done, and at a pretty square number.

Finally Hit
 

Well Racefans the "Hanifin Backwheel" paid off. Kall Me K held for 2nd.
Karakorum Knockout WINS. Jeff Odintz can eat.

Bankroll is.....66.50

Playing any of the Finger Lakes card today? That can get interesting.

Race #6
 

The Beyers on the #11 Ruffino Blow these away, but...........
I'm taking a shot with the #13 Fahrenheit Wild.

$10 Win 13
4 Exacta 1-2-11/13

$22

With Keeneland and Oaklawn going on? C'mon man, Finger Lakes is for rainy, boring Tuesdays only..

Yeah..you are exactly right. I haven't touched one race there today.

Dumb bet
 

Ruffino held off the 2 horse. F Wild mad a nice move but flattened out. Oh well. The 7th race looks like this...

Actually not a bad race

#7 Trading Pro has never seen odds like this. 18-1 8 MTP

Here's the bet

$7 Win #7

$1 Exacta 2-3-4-6-8-9-10/7

$14

I liked Trading Pro too. Not sure what went wrong, but with that pace, he would've taken it had he fired.

Mike Smith did it again
 

Good ole' Mike Smith runs down the speed. This one was my original pick, but I fell for trading pro late. Executive search over Wild Vicar..55-1
Nice one. Oh well. I'm running out of money.

Race 8
 

Grade 2 Comely S

I'm down to 22 bucks. I really like Boca Grande..but not at 2-1. Soooooo...
I'm going to take a stab at another longshot. I can't believe Lost Etiquette
with Mike Luzzi (or Losie as a friend of mine says) up is 16-1.
$8 to win 8
$1 exacta all/8

total bets $15

Well..Bittersweet
 

I made those bets...which I lost on, but On my phone acct. I wheeled Shug..
Mike Smith has now won two races in a row. Look out!!!! But that does not count in my first ever diary which nobody will probably ever read again. I do have a few bucks left.

Last Chance
 

I'm taking the last $7 and I'm going to Wheel The #1 All in C.J.
Actually I can't wheel it because I'll go over limit on this bankroll, but who cares. I'm betting the C.J. because of our man Estreetposse. Let's see what happens.

Thought I was down to .60 in my account, called up to find much more...Let it ride!!

Hey Man
 

What have you been up to today??? Got hammered yesterday. Indoor Golf was fun..so was Partners. I hit Glackity Glack at Keenland today because of that hooves guy. Just playing the horses and watching the SOX.

The kid has been running nuts, just turned on the ponies and checked here to see your ...that F"in horse needs to closer to the front!!!!! That cost me some $$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All in CJ got a bad ride
 

So I lost for the day. It was fun. Time to get my Premier Pick 4 in.

I can believe that exacta paid so much! Thought Boca would be less than 3-1 w/ Shug & the NY thing...Put Boca on top with the Laurel shipper and Toddy's fav...when I put the ticket in the machine at O'Tooles in Albany and saw it was a $300 tri, I said WOW!!!!:eek: I just played the triple because I was already down $$$ and had to pick up the wife. Triple what I was down with the hit and got the ten cent superfecta box in the finale @ Oaklawn...a good day after all! :)
It's 1am...10 mtp @ Los Al's and there loading the gate at Australia "B"

New record pick 4 pool at Los Al's...over 90k, broke 78k record :D

Sounds like it was a great day for you hoffy. I had fun..sat home drank some beers and did that diary for the fun of it. I'll tel you there are some people that know their horses on this forum. Catch you later.

Too bad the Big "A" is off today, maybe we can get a Keeneland thread going today? Still waiting for the PP's from there that Capital usually sents me. Gulfstream is horrible this time of year, but there's always SA in the late afternoon.
