Spot Plays
Going to be doing this from now until the end of the Saratoga Meet. I have done it on another board in the past with success and the exercise has proven to be beneficial to me because it helps me pin down the horses I prefer most over the course of a day and make the most of them, instead of trying to get overly cute with exotics.
The format is simple, the days I'm playing, I'll post the horses I like each day. I'll be betting them, but for the basis of the exercise I'll keep track of them as if I'm just betting $2 to win. Point of it all is to show a positive ROI at the end. Belmont 1st- #4 Cap the Moment 4th- #3 Zio Tony 7th- #6 City Whisper 9th- #5 Evolutionist 10th- #4 Mor Chances Monmouth 4th- #6 Alex's Buck 7th- #8 Red Vow 9th- #2 Eastern Assassin Hollywood 5th- #6 Bling Cha Bling 9th- #8 Tanda Colonial 7th- #3 Mystical Star 8th- #4 Street Game |
Good luck, Hoss. Should be interesting to follow.

You mean you won't be playing Win/Place on the top 2 favorites ?;)

:rolleyes:

Nothing like getting out of the gate fast. :rolleyes: Couple of well beaten 2nd's but not close on the win end. On the bright side I got called a sexist and the 2nd person this week told me they want to beat me up. All in all I'd call it a solid day.
