Late P4 at CD
 

Hello Steve,

Is the #9 in the 3rd leg a typo?

BTR,

Yup.. Thx! Meant to be the #8 of course...

Good Luck
 

Thought so Steve but wanted to make sure. Writing down selections, off work today so going to OTB to play CD.

Special thanks to all our Veterans.

CRC and CD dispute
 

Does anyone know where we stand in regards to being able to wager on CD and CRC on Xpressbet, TVG, Youbet, TwinSpires, etc? Has there been any signs of progress or are we at the same place we were 6 months ago?

Appreciate the selections of CD and CRC but realistically there is no way for many of us to wager on those tracks...

Thanks,

PSH

This from DRF's Hegarty: They are negotiating.

I work at a horse track here in Minnesota and would highly doubt any change in the ability to bet on CDI tracks anytime in the near future. Take it up with entity that is CDI.

There has been little movement, but reports are that CDI is at least talking to TGH now which represents progress.

And while I appreciate that it's an inconvenience for you to bet Calder and Churchill where you are, it's as much of one for those of us outside California to bet Hollywood (and Santa Anita next month)... Should I stop doing selections for Hollywood because of that?

EARLY PICK 3 and 4
 

I know I am new to the site, so here is my attempt to establish some credibility right of the bat.

CD Race 1:

$1 Pick 4
1: 4,6
2: 1,2,4,7
3: 5,1
4: 2,4,7,8

$64 ticket

CD Race 2:

$1 Pick 3

2: 1,2,4,6,7
3: 1,5
4: 8

$10 ticket


I usually always keep my P3 tickets below $12. I have found if I spend more than that I am usually improperly handicapping a race.

Stay tuned for more selections.

I wouldn't stop doing your handicapping for these issues... It's good to stay on top of the game in California. Plus, everyone can still bet at the track.

The Lukas horse in the first is 3-1. At the price there is good value. I expected 8-5.

Race 1 - Churchill Downs
 

The #4 (Diva's Gold) made a closing move when he hit the top of the stretch to hit the winners circle.

The #7 (Why Now) had the lead the whole way around the track and lost it in the final furlong. She held on for 2nd.

The #8 (Spoiler Now) completed the trifecta, but was never a factor.

1 for 1 in the P4

Race 2 - Churchill Downs
 

The #6 (Yikes) ran away with race. Pounced on the leaders before the quarter pole and nobody touched her.

Track seems to be running very fair right now.

Leparoux wins the first three. All easy wins!

Hey Dan, Welcome to D.T and looks like so far your a pretty good handicapper..Best of luck with the 8 in the 4th :)

I am live in the Pick 4 also, I just forgot to put the 6 horse in my previous post. My mistake.

I appreciate the comments.

The #8 horse at 6-1 looks like good value

I'm alive too.....with all......$10 tickets!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:rolleyes:

Easy money.... I'll take the Pick 3 and Pick 4 and call it a day!

$284.70 Pick 4

$125.40 Pick 3
