Bubba Jones (#8)

Merry Go Round?

This time, Velez has no problem going to the lead. It's premature, but it appears the track might be speed favoring. Wonder what this tri pays.

Awesome, my first pick of the day barely outruns a horse that was being eased up.

MTH r2

Favorite looks tough here.

MTh R2:

I don't think the 7 is the best horse in the race; but there's so much speed in the race, that the 7 figures to get a perfect setup. The key is whether Borel sits just off the other speed or gets involved in the duel. If the 4 is rated just behind the pacesetters, she wins; if she's sent, the 7 wins. It's dicey, because, even though I think the 4 is the best horse in the race, if she's sent, there's no guarantee she gets 2nd. The ebox is paying 4:1 minimum, so it's worth the gamble.

ebox: 4 / 7

AP Late Pick 4, Races 6-9
Impressive Catalano 2yo "Jordy Y" looks like a solid single in the 6th race, and 30-1 ML "In the Frame" could easily win the 7th.

5 / 1,3,8,9 / 4,6 / 2,4,5,9 = ($32)

Hard to believe that piece of **** Omniscient won the race. I almost fell off my chair when Thomas picked him. On a somewhat related note, I really need to tune Serling out when it comes to Acquired Cat.

20 Win 10-Dabnabit

MTH races always get to the gate LATE. Today, they're overlapping with WO post times. They really need to get them off as scheduled.

One of those ****ing days.

Saratoga 2nd

$10 double 2,3/4

$20 win 3

Has the makings of it. In the 2nd at WO, Emma Wilson has the 4:5 favorite DEAD LAST in 26, 51 fractions. All I need her to do is get 3rd, as I have the other two horses in the tri. She can't even do that much. I get a sense of what type of day this is going to be and I really should quit right now.

I think I am going to tread lightly until the Graded stakes.

Did Johnny think he was sitting on Secretariat?

A gem of a ride on New York Kitten by Leparoux there. :confused:

I wondered why they were adding blinkers on that horse when they were stretching it out. And, given the way it ran, it's not ridiculous to wonder if they ever put the blinkers on in the morning. Lazy training by Maker; again.

I have to wonder if Leparoux had any kind of a plan there, the horse breaks well and he strangles the horse back causing the horse to fight and go wide the first turn losing position towards the rear then pins the horse on the rail far back before sending the horse into a wall of horses when he has run. Not exactly a recipe for success.

I agree that the decision to put blinks on really looks bad after that run.

Monmouth 6th

$20 win 12

I initially thought that after getting a perfect inside trip on the bacstretch, after the rank run around the 1st turn, that she was blocked in the stretch run behind horses. But the headon shows there was plenty of room and I have to wonder why Leparoux didn't get into her a bit. Maybe he was afraid to push her given what he experienced earlier.

Yeah it was a terrible ride and of course the horse passes the winners after the wire. I don't think it was the blinkers that were the bad idea, but the jockey who couldn't make up his mind.

Mtg r 6 double 2-3-4-12/3461

WOW. what a run at MTH.

Actually, I initially thought the same thing but just looked at the headon as well, it looks like he had room up the rail and brings the horse in behind others but a hole was there, on the headon the horse has run late which she probably did on her own and goes to the rail and gallops out past the field. I honestly wonder what he was thinking in the stretch there, I am guessing you are right he was afraid to push her. If he goes up the rail it looks like the horse had the run to win the race. There just didn't seem to be any plan there.
