11/1: AQUEDECT ($243k C/O)
 

Aqueduct carries again with pool swelling to nearly $250,000... Wednesday inded tricky, and fun, and best success came in the 7th, the race that looked toughest on paper! $300+ trifecta scored to keep the day largely even, and it wouldn't have mattered who the stewards left up (Sensational Humor or Ground Hero) as both were covered. Couple of other good I.D.'s were made on the day, but P4/P6 plays missed.. Hope you did OK.

P6 Thursday a very difficult gauntlet...

Handful of important changes/scratches at AQU:
http://www.equibase.com/premium/changes/AQU-changes.asp

NOTE: In the 7th, both AE 11 (Dr. Jess Jr.-20-1) and 1a (Fort Carillon-3-1) draw in..

AE 1 (Fogcutter-8-1) gets into the 9th with more changes possible there...

NO Superfecta in the 5th with the 2 & 9 out...

"Do you like movies about gladiators?" :D

picked a good week to quit gambing!

Good run at the pick4 Steve. Tough beat with Marilyn...

Tougher than you can imagine having Classic Marilyn as an include in the 7th but leaving her off the Quad..

Well Steve if your going to consciously keep the investment under 50 bucks these things are gonna happen. Andy is probably right on this subject as far as advocating spreading deeper on races you know are contentious and bumping the price past the half C note you impose on yourself.

This wasn't expense related and fell under the category of a structural botching. Went 3x3x3x2 for $54 because I just didn't trust Bribon in the 8th..
