10/5: Belmont ($73k C/O)
 

Had a handful of good opinions on "Best Value" types Saturday, particularly in the Woodbine stakesfest, and hope it helped you score. I was on the road for the day and was a tad anguished to be unable to play...

Grand Adventure (Summer - $18.10); True to Tradition (Nearactic - $18.40) and Chamberlain Bridge (Woodford - $39.40) were all Best Values that came through, but day ended agonizingly when I missed 2 enormous P4's going into last legs live. 4th choice 'Exotic Adds' Radical Sabbatical and Marsh Side both won setting off jumbo Quad returns of $11,925 in New York and $8,970 in Toronto. Hope everyone did well and the selections were helpful...

$73,000 carryover at Belmont has been looked at and appears approachable. At Keeneland, the underplayed P6 there has reached $121,000...

4th race

3-4-7 Tri box

p3 3/1,7,11/1,2,6,10

I was shocked when I woke up and saw that. I went to sleep real late and didn't see/hear any rain, so I have no idea when all the rain snuck in.

Sweet! Congrats! :)

Nice 3rd for the "Doc" in the 4th! :)

Race 5
4,5,11 ex box $18
wp 4 $12

Another Darley dud. I could've beat him down the stretch.

The most interesting race of the day was the 2 year old filly turf race. Didn't rain much in my area (Brooklyn) but, then again, I don't have a turf course to nurse through a FULL WINTER of turf racing. :rolleyes:

Luckily, KEE and OSA offer BETTER racing.

Race 6

Need an upset or two for it to pay anything.

renee douglas... moron..x2:zz:

Can't Refuse is an overlay here. I have no idea who David Cardoso is.

Late Pick 3

2,6,9,12 / 1,5,6 / 9,11

3rd at 44-1


This is the one you and I discussed the merits of not too long ago

Ferraro has been burning money like crazy all year and I overlooked his current record this meet. Awww titties.

If Cardoso switches the whip EARLIER (and this is relative, as it took him forever not only to realize that he needed to do it but to actually do it) he wins.

I believe he went off 57:1.

This one was even more painful than Invisible Lee

Race 9
$10 ex 1/3,5
$20 win 1

Late DD

$10 4,6/2 $93 x 5 = $465
