Early DD Mountaineer 1/22
 

In the opener i'm going to use the 7 and 10.The 10 doesen't like too win to often but the horse has been racing better than anyone in the field.The 7 intrigues me since 6 furlongs is his best distance.In the 2nd i'm using the three ouside posts.The 8 and 9 havebeen running well lately and the 10 is dropping and picking up Whitney who came back from the break on fire.The early double 7,10/8,9,10.Good luck.

Looks like some great value in the second race, 10 is 8-1 ml and there are other contenders at decent prices. I'm gonna play the 4 in the first, I don't think he's as bad as his PP's and the trainer change doesn't hurt. DD's are 4/10 w 4/7/10. Good luck tonight.

2-10-5-9 ex box in the 1st

Baaaaaammmmmmmmmm 42-1 baby!

wow bombs away 42-1 gl in the 2nd

Did you catch the exacta.I'm pulling for you buddy.I'm staying out of the 2nd.Go get em.

$3 Exacta, never saw the 1 there, but hey, I ain't complainin!

Great call in the first ... good luck in the second half !!!! I'm not playing tonight but I am rooting for you.

Live in $5 doubles, as above..............go, baby go!

:eek: Live in $5 doubles, as above..............go, baby go!

Minny do you realize that the guy who rode that horse has just won more races this year than last.

Excuse me boys, I'm feeling a little ill right now. That's the Mountain for ya! And yes I now realize the rider on that bomb in the first had not won a race in forever.........but then again, this is the MTN! Had the 7 held on it was $2175 for Skinny, but it was not to be. But the lesson here is that the 4 in the first was not that bad of a horse (see Calder) and the trainer change helped him. Sometimes we all overlook that.

Mountaineer 6th
 

That's my next bet.Seems like the inside is OK and i think there is plenty of speed to mix it up early so i'm betting the 1 to come right back and win.

1 scratched in the 6th....
 

Where are you going now?

Mountaineer 6th
 

The 3 could be the on the pace closer going back to 5.5 furlongs but i make it a habit if the horse i like gets scratched i don't bet.No need to chase.Better off being patient.

The late double.
 

In the 8th the 6 looks to be the speed and the 10 to stalk him on the outside.I don't give much creedence to the rest of the field.In the finale the 7 and 8 show good speed and might knock each other out.I'll still use the 8 but i'm also using the 2 and 3.The 2 ran against the 8 and didn't lose to him by much.The 3 is shipping from Hawthorne for the dangerous Larry Rivelli.The bet 6,10/2,3,8.Good luck.

BBM,

You sticking around for the 9th?

9th 10/3/6/7 tri box - let's wing it!

came in 3/7/6/10....had the super again in the box! 2 nights in a row..had the super, got half the tri...Gotta love the Mountain!

RBE - Just saw your tri pick, you are on fire at the Mountain... nice call!

thank's DC, but really I cant' take any credit...no PP's,.... Mark and Nancy had the same 4 horses (usually when they agree it money :) ) so I boxed 'em on a flyer..

Late night...didn't get around until the last race...81 bux and change on a 24 bet...better than a kick in the pants!

You are a smart man :D I tuned in after the 7th race and just did a WP on the 3 in the 9th... didn't have time to cap anything else... you're right about Mark & Nancy, should have taken a look at that, might have done better :(

Elvis just saw your post this morning.By the time the 8th race rolls around most of the time i'm in la-la land. I usually just call my account the next day to see if i have more money in it than before i went to sleep.If that happens then i check equibase to see what came in.As this board knows we have 2 young children 4 and 7 and quite often early in the week i'm a solo act as my wife has board meetings.We wake up at 5:25.I barely made it thru 24 last night but managed to hang on and see the end.I'll be back later to post at the Mountain.Bye the way kudos to you on some great handicapping the last 2 days.Take care.Mark.
