3/14: AQU; GP; TAM; Magna 5; FG; Rebel; SA
Simply put, I can't recall a day developing and unfolding with such widespread invitation to wagering action... Plan carefully and budget wisely. It will be a special day for many players. Don't get down if things go against you early. There's too many great chances to win Saturday to lose focus.

Steve,
The last leg of the M5 is brutal. I missed the show yesterday, did any of the guests have any particular insights? I'm four deep right now and the only horse we have in agreement is the 9. |

The Hits just keep on coming
Wow Steve...... just stopped in, to take a break from prepping for my fantasy baseball draft, to take a look around.
You are amazing! 'Capping from sea to shining sea. Looks like at least 31 races on your plate. Sadly this is one of the few Saturdays I'm out of action with my baseball commitment. Well I will have my laptop with me and should be able to get on Twin Spires TV for some of the big ones. Hit a homer buddy! |
Wow Steve just amazing,
but what time could we expect the Los Al picks? |
Musket Man gotta keep the faith with Derek Ryan , look for a bouce back today
|
I'm shocked that Steve picked Smooth Air.
I thought there was a Grade 1 with his name on it.....and being that this was merely a Grade 2 I just assumed it was a prep. |
Steve Santa Anita Pick 6
Steve,
I think your pick 6 ticket at Santa Anita is $400.00 5x5x2x1x2x2=200X2 =$400.00 |
I love Steve's picks in the LA Derby, an abundance of alternatives here to the favorites.
|
Word is only 45 minutes of light rain in the NOLA area, suppose to be on/off rest of the day, possibly dodged a bullet as they should be on the turf
|
What a great day. Off to Gulfstream to enjoy the action.

Steve, it's probably a moot point but I disagree that soft ground moves Proudinsky down. He won last year's Muniz over yielding turf and German horses often are used to boggy courses. I think he runs well in California despite the surface, not because of it. With that said, I don't want any part of him from the 14-hole.

But it ended up being a very nice afternoon. If you spent the $72 at Tampa you actually got it twice for the full $860 because they paid on the Royal Ballade scratch. But really it was $48 for the $430... Making the appropriate moves to the off the turf horses in the second half of the Late P4 at FG brought back another $400... And I was live to the 5 ($1,050) & 9 ($150) in the Late P4 at Santa Anita and settled happily for the lesser prize to end the crazy/fun day. Was quite pleased too with the performances from a number of 'key' type horses I talked about on ATR this week and identified and played as Best Value types. El Crespo, Secret Getaway, El Caballo and Musket Man all ran big and helped produce many of the day's nicest returns. And Smooth Air's performance was one to savor on many fronts... Caught a $360+ P3 with Jersey Town, Crespo and Smooth Air at GP, but missed the Quad when Reb fell short versus Kinsella in the nightcap. Reb (21-1) wins the anchor, and the P4 pays $5,000... Thought Secret Getaway was a $20 winner in deep stretch, but had to settle for the backwheel exacta hit under Macho Again ($120)... Didn't play Musket Man straight or anything inside the Tampa Bay Derby because I was in the Paddock for Smooth Air, but obviously the winner helped boost along the Stakes P4 at TBD. Was very lucky to catch the Tampa 4 as both Backseat Rhythm and Castles in the Sky were desperate winners. One horse that gave a great effort that went for naught was El Caballo (18-1) in the Muniz. I couldn't come up with a way to bet him right. If the three horse photo puts Proudinsky behind him and Nownownow, it's a big exacta and W-PL payday. On the downside of the day, the Magna 5 and Santa Anita Double Carry P6 were very disappointing. Was blown out in the Magna by the Laurel winner, with All Giving a sad animal refusing to go by Fancy Diamond. It wouldn't have mattered anyway by the time we got to the SA 5th though, as I failed to use Rick Hammerle's suggestion of Smooth and Savvy. That also doomed the SA P6 play of course as the sequence started there. Ended 4 of 6 and mssed the conso trying to single Market at Midday in the 7th. Individual horses that I expected to run much better included Mushka, Hello Broadway, Free Country or any other big price in the LA Derby and His Greatness. Overall, despite a few beats and "Oh no.." moments, it was a great day. Hope all did well... |
