8/10: Saratoga (Day 15-C/O)
 

Odd afternoon at Spa as chalky exactas rained down in the boxes in 7 of 8 flat races. Trifectas were an exersize in frustration however with "1st-2nd-4th" ruling the day. Somehow, the P6 went unhit, and a $45,000 carryover is available today with showers likely off and on...

I always feel gyyped on these muddy days at Saratoga.. We have so few days at the SPA to begin with...

Weather clearing but damage is done...

Off the turf and fields decimated.. http://www.equibase.com/premium/changes/SAR-changes.asp

Selections adjusted... Caveat emptor on 'one of those' kinds of days... Better today than tomorrow though...

Guess that was time wasted for me last night.

I'll save my $$ for tomorrow, no time to re-handicap for the mud.

I guess i'll piddle around a little bit

* this has got to me a make or break race for Hesanoldsalt in the 5th. I can't see this horse going much lower in class, but he's gotta get a win somewhere. Personally i like Malibu Moonshine and using the 'Salt as a cover

* it pains me to watch this horse race (Hesanoldsalt), another race where he goes eyeball to eyeball with a horse and doesn't go by, lesson learned. I wont be using the money chewer any more

I won some money today, but I got this weird feeling and I'm sure others have felt it before. I'm up money, but feel like I should be up a lot more. I had a $10 Win/Place on a horse at Calder who got 2nd at 35-1, lost to a 16-1 and the exacta paid $600+. Then in the last at Saratoga, I loved the 11 horse and was gonna bet him $25 to win and place with my Calder winnings. I let a guy talk me into betting with him, and we do a $2 tri box 1,2,7,11. We hit it and got 152.50 each, but my win place on the 11 would have been a little over $300. I also decided to play a $4 exacta on that race, and played it 7 with 10,11. It of course comes 11-7, and I'm thinking to myself, I loved the 11 horse, but I play my exacta with the 7 on top, what the hell was I thinking, chalk gets me again. 11 horse wins and pays 22.40 and 8.40.


Like I said, I'm up money on the day but feel like I should have pounded it a lot harder.
