Saratoga Wednesday August 28th
 

Race 2:
#2 Zecha: 25n2L and 14n3L wins compare with the ML fav (#1). Beaten 6 lengths by #4 on Aug 1, after blowing the start by 6 lengths. Has had some other excuses in her last few, including that absolute head-scratcher three back. Small field on a fast track suits. Price play early.
#4 Mo Flash: Best form on paper but connections have been icy so far at the meet.
#5 Le Weekend

Race 3:
#5 Fetching: Not disgraced against #1 in her second lifetime start when running out of room late. Gone on to record a win at SAR since and Irad hops aboard.
#8 Out of Trouble: Looks ready now third off the shelf, just like last year.
#6 Classic Lady
#1 Dynamite Kitten

Race 4:
#4 Indian Pride: Has been making noise in the mornings…
#7 Acting Chipper: Long string of good works for 4yo debut.
#3 Doll Collection
#5 Bye Bye Nicky

Race 5:
#4 Bronco Sally: Finished right there with the ML fav (#12) after being shoved wide on the first turn.
#9 Retro Street
#7 Floss Dancer
#12 Decorated Ace

Race 6:
#9 Cryptographer
#4 Lorenzen
#10 Chowda
#3 Moonachie

Race 7:
#7 Nic and Zoe: Blazing works for Ward. Catch me if you can.
#9 Tulanian: Took money on debut but didn’t look like she handled the kickback. Half to a G3 winner on the green.
#10 Hai Bobbi
#5 Jazzique

Race 8:
#3 Hardcore Folklore is SCR...
#6 Smile Bryan: Won at 5.5f, had the lead at the 1/8th pole last out.
#2 Dark Money
#1 El Asesino
#7 moves up if the rains hit…

Race 9:
#8 Field Pass: Flew home sprinting in his first start. Strong win over this course and distance and can repeat.
#5 Eagerly is SCR...
#4 Fighting Seabee: Passed the eye test with a relatively easy win on debut. Runner-up came back to win at DMR.
#2 Our Country

Race 10:
#11 Katook: Cuts back after showing good speed routing last out. Big jock upgrade.
#2 Abby Normal: Got close in her first two tries on firm ground (hope the rain stays away). May bounce back with a better effort after a few weeks off.
#5 Winifred J
#6 Mike’s Girl

Wow. In the 5th

Irad Ortiz on the 6 moved over to give his brother room on the 10 and the 10 actually bumped him. ...

seen that, actually looked like the 6 had some run...I thought but maybe not :(

I thought the 1 may have held on if not for that

Just saw headon and it looked like the 6 was rank

Yeah, rank from a rank ride. Stewards won't dare question it though.

was swerving like Sargent Saunders rushing a machine gun nest during a Combat episode

If that wasn’t his brother, he never would have made room for him and stop riding, costing his mount at least a placement in the race.

redboard alert

Why not actually watch the head on instead of continually saying stupid stuff?

Lugs in once, corrects, sees his brother running up on his heels, grabs over to let him through, and doesn't ride his mount out.

You can argue/reason that he did the right thing on the first four points, but not riding out is egregious and makes it look even more suspicious.

Sar 9

$20 DBL 3/2,4

wtf happened going into the 1st turn???

That’s not what my eyes saw but it fits the popular narrative so have at it. His horse had nothing left and was staggering throughout the stretch. He didn’t let his brother out. His horse lugged in and then his brother bulled his way out.

Del Mar 2nd
Double
1,2,9/ 2

Exacta box 1,2,9

LOL...my 0 for the summer in these threads lives on

What narrative? If he rides his mount out then there's a good chance he hangs on for 4th. You may not care but I guarantee that someone who needed the 6 for 4th in the super would be pretty damn pissed to see the jockey not ride to the finish. Are bettors not important anymore?

I did, apparently you didn’t. Looks over, sees his brother, gets out of his way and stops riding. Smarten up.

Paid less due to the gate scratch :rolleyes:

Nice job Kitan

He did ride to the finish. He’s flashing the whip to the horse as he’s trying to hold his horse together.

Give me a break with your last line.

I could hit my head with a hammer full strength for a month straight and I’d be smarter than you Danny Mook.

You “see” nothing. You want to see things because it confirms all of your losing isn’t because you have a horrendous opinion. You do.

My worst opinion is thinking you were still good, but that ship has sailed hasn't it. Keep on plugging you might make to the break even point, but I doubt it.

I’m seeing a pattern here....someone doesn’t get you concert tickets and you act like a jilted lover. I stop spoon feeding you my opinions and you act like a jilted lover.

On my worst day my opinion is light years better than yours....and you know it. So there’s that.

Thanks.

Nice work

Your opinion used to be good.... as you struggle to go from in the red to black numbers think about the good old days it might spur you on

Even if that were true, which it isn’t, it doesn’t change the fact you’ve never been good. You’ve always been the guy begging people for something and getting mad if you don’t get it. You’re a never was.

Quite a legacy.

Not that it matters, but I’ve had an okay meet. I’m mushed in the play along threads, which is why I’ve posted very little in them. If you’re going by me posting two picks a day, you’re dumber than you look, which might not even be possible.

Legacy
Don’t remember anyone else with $134 and $110 winners in the Saratoga contests. 2 Contest wins and a second with huge plus ROI is more than anything you’ve done on this board. Check your facts.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

You begged me for my opinion and got mad when I stopped giving it to you. Those are the facts Dan.

Do you deny that?

I retired at 53 off you and the boss, this I don’t deny. You had a nice run, but it was many moons ago.
Begged? I beg to differ.
Mad ? Not quite.

That’s noble work you’re doing going o for the meet in the wagering thread.

Not nearly as noble as the work you do on here and twitter while no one responds or even cares. You might as well be invisible.

Actually....you kind of are.

Have a great weekend. ;)
