Tampa Bay Downs Tuesday...
 

I'm going to take a wild guess and predict they will be off the turf.

It's raining like a SOB here.

Without a doubt, they will be off the turf.

Sloppy track?

What does Erie have to do with TBD?

Probably "good". It's rarely sloppy unless it is raining while they are running. The sand drains quite well and the sun should be out all day tomorrow. Probably "fast" before the end of the card.

minus-738.90 (2009)

$2 ex pw

3) 57/34567 scr #3 lost

5) 38/12378 won ex 18.40
6) 78/36789 lost

7) 38/13468 lost

10) 6,10/2469,10 lost

toal bet $76 18.40 - 57.60 -796.50 (2009)

Sun is out, stiff north wind blowing (very cold one I might add) and the humidity is way down. Should be a fast track by the 4th race or so (if not sooner).

Cold your ass, and I know you know what COLD is being from Michigan, I dream for 45 degrees to get here :)

cold right up here in gary, in its 7 degrees.
:eek:

I'm still trying to get a handle at Tampa. I dope out a pick 4 to compare and discuss with the usual Tampa crew. Looks like a tough sequance with the 8th looking like it's wide open and then the 9th coming of the green.

$1 1,4,8/4,7/6,8/6,9,10 $36
$1 8,/4,6,7/1,6/10 $6

I almost put these in for real, but I thought better of it. Still trying to get a grip of the Tampa VORTEX as Bigs likes to call it.

I'm pretty pissed at myself. I chickened out of using Dehn's horse in a Pick 3 starting in the 6th (can't spare the $10!) and now I'd be looking at payouts ranging from $375-$2,875. For what it's worth, I had the 6th-7th double, but if the 11 wins this 8th race, I'm gonna be sick.

EDIT: Not suicidal now that the 4 won, but I still managed to finagle myself out of a $424 winner for $1. :mad:

Nice double Joey! What were you looking to do use the all button in the 8th? I just took quick look at the 6th and even knowing the 5 won, I still don't think I would/could have played him.

My ticket looked like this:

7,9 / 1,8 / 4,5,6,9,11

I decided at the last second not to include the 5, but played a 5 / 1,8 double just in case. Made a few bucks, but it was dwarfed by what the Pick 3 paid.

The 5 had a few competitive races and had been working like a metronome since December. Figured he was well meant. I think the 9 was actually best, but Michelle outrode the 9's jockey

Does anyone know the payouts for the 4, 9 ,10 Pick 3 wise???

Thank you!

Just Radiant, #8

I had the two in the last race....no it's not read boarding as I bet it by mistake. Not sure what happened but as soon as I bet I looked and saw it was the two instead of the one....and the two won...I've made mistakes before but usually lose.
