Spyders Travers Day Pick of the Day
 

Don't put up picks often but really like a horse in the first.

#1 - Got the last laugh: Check out the replay of his last race. Was bumped and strangled at the rail in the stretch and had to stop and redirect his effort ending up only 3 lengths back. Would have won for fun if he had a clear trip. Third off a layoff, Mott/Desorm como.

Oh yea...he's only beat Street Sense and Sightseeing in his career.

12/1 morning line...are you kidding me???????????

Enjoy!

Spyder......
 

Great choice! Good luck today!

I also like him. He'll be in my ex,tri, and DD bets.:)

PSH

Bad early movement on the 1. The stupid track handicapper picked him to win as well, so now a bunch of stupid money will be on him.

Spyder - Are you the one that put so much $$$ on #1 that he's down to 9/5 right now? :eek: :D

I watched some of this horses races, especially the last, and when he tires, he does not pay attention imo. Very erratic horse. Cuts the turns very nicely, but down the stretch is just not good. Those blinkers dont need to be cut in any way.

DCat,

Have not even bet yet. Very obvious horse IMO and when my $20 goes in watch the odds dive.

Spyder

Sweet!!!! Hope my record for winning the first race goes to tomorrow!!

Huge congrats from me.
I would never have picked that horse watching those replays.
You need to teach me how to watch them.
I thought that horse would blow up in the stretch.

Very nice indeed. Way to go!

3-1 get da money at the spaaaaaaaaaaaaa

congrats, now keep it rolling for this loooooooong difficult to cap card

-bt-

Thanks,

Just thought any horse that could beat both Street Sense and Sightseeing had alot of upside. I mean he didn't catch each of those on their bad days. Bet him last race and he got clobbered so bad on the rail and yet pulled out to the 4 path and gained strongly after that to only lose by 3 lengths. The replay doesn't show his move and closing but most horses would have lost lengths after that fiasco.

Will try to keep the mojo going with a 3-9 quenella.

Spyder

Stop wagering now.

and you really will have the last laugh.

and do what? Lots of fun ahead!

Nice call Spyder! I got the DD thanks to you and those that liked Mythical Pegasus in the 2nd... nice way to start the weekend!

Thanks again!

Laught at me.
Good racing luck the rest of the card.

Nice call! That morning line was absolutely ridiculous.
