12/7: AQU (R4-9); HOL (Bayakoa/P4)
 

Once again was able to parlay late action at Hollywood into a winning day Saturday. Slew's Tizzy won the Native Diver at 7-1 keying a $117 tri using the only 3 horses we identified. Joe Lecombe's colt also started the $530 P4 we suggested that helped overcome earlier miscues at Aqueduct and Fair Grounds. Hope you did well on the day...

Wild odds board here in the 5th...

Steve - nice little tri with the chalk on top in the 6th at the 'wood!

A side note; was wearing my DT swag and some friends saw the sweet t-shirt and I think they'll be contacting you for a X-mas order! And best of all - they are Chi-towners who were with me at Arlington on KnS's picture day - they are certainly DT 'wannabes'

O/T,

Thx.. $150 tris go a long way to keeping you solvent.. ;)

I think I did hear from that couple in Chicago! Thx...

Wow... Cerin's BRIECAT forgets to stop.. And those weren't soft fractions. In fact, it's a NSR...

I just thought I would post this because I am still fuming about how close I came to taking home the entire Super-Hi 5 pool at Hollywood.

Here was my ticket

$1 Pentafecta

13 with 1,6,9 with 1,6,9 with 1,6,8,9,12 with 1,6,8,9,12

I wish I would have checked out KaSept's horses to add. I missed out on #3 who cost me my super and Super Hi-5.

I only had a $1 exacta with those horses in the right order.

Oh well, I'll move on:(

Not that I don't believe you about the play but usually it's best not to make comments about plays here on the board that you haven't posted before the race. We have had problems with guys not always being truthful about what they play creating wars of words we are all better off avoiding. Sorry it didn't work out for you today and hopefully you'll rebound next week.

I am not claiming I won, just that I came close :)

Not everyone trusts everyone, but I don't have a wireless connection when I am at the track to update my picks like I do when I am working at my track.

I work at one also, but they don't allow betting while on duty like most tracks.

I have a sheet I post at my track that proves I had those four horses, but it isn't for me to decide whether you believe me or not.

I promise you this. I do bet my tickets I post on this web site 95% of the time, but I am just on here to become a better handicapper.

I post my choices and take the criticism in a constructive manner.

Best of luck to all!
