6/19: CD (1st-11th); HOL ($552k C/O)
 

Came away empty-handed and $250 lighter in the bankroll Thursday after noble try at the Hollywood carryover. Good news is we all get another shot late tonight with a pool at $550k+ and likely to approach $3,000,000.

Although the late P4 recouped a tiny sum, losing the photo between Senor Afortunado (P4 paid $100+) and Magna Cum Laude (P4 would pay $500+) in that nightcap was the difference in breaking even on the day after the $288 and $72 P6 and P4 investments.

It was a super tough sequence in which having the right single (Delta Storm in the Kerlan) and one of the $30+ horses (Tidal Dance in the 4th) felt really good but delivered nothing to the bottom line. Hope you fared OK...

Fabulous racing night ahead though with Churchill running from 6pm to 11:15pm (EST) and Hollywood commencing at 10;05pm EST and wrapping at 1:20pm (EST). Should be a special evening for racing fans and horseplayers...

Good luck!
Steve

Churchill has certainly accomplished their goal of creating buzz surrounding the night racing. Would expect it to be their 3rd largest crowd of the year.

Really curious to see Schramsburg in the 6th. Serenas Song has already foaled some good ones. Doesn't look to be a lot in here to beat. Very curious to see how far down his odds come from the 8-1 ML.

Steve, both you and Gus have My Boy Jo as your top choice in the 7th. What do you like about him? Thanks.

Heading to Mohegan Sun for the night action.

Good luck to all!

Actually, the more I look, the more I like Chapel By the Sea, but 8-1 is a square price on My Boy Jo considering the ordinary nature of the group. He appears to be an in-out type that alternates efforts, with a good one in the offing here. Johars are OK on the main track, and while J-T stuff doesn't move me typically, it is noteable that Nicks reaches for Albarado here (5 of 12-42% together last 18 months, and 20.7% over last 140 starts together.)

It's an ugly race.

Churchill under the lights at night!! (Well...for half the card) And it's 150 degrees today!!!

Oh and $10 admission!! I will not be there!!

Nice call on My Boy Jo at 7-1 Steve! :$:

And the $89 straight exacta... :$:

Way to go again Steve, nice call on Agastache in the 9th, you are starting my night profitably! :$:

I used him thanks to Steve in the double with the 7 in the 10th, come on Borail bring me home $133

Good Luck in the double, I am live to the 4 myself.

How about a 4,7 dead heat :tro:

GL

That was a huge scratch with all the money on Tenkiller Lake going to the favorites.

SOB how does Borail do that! Cost me my pk4.

Nice job South Beach. :$:

Thanks and thanks to Steve for the first leg :)

Steve,

Wow, the roll just keeps going!

Three tri's and a P4 in the first 4 races. Doesn't get much better than that.

Let's buckle down and take a little Byk magic out to Hollywood tonight!

Thanks again for all the efforts, inputs, and most importantly, the winners!!

Jesus Steve, nice call in the last!
8 YANKEE PLAYER $24.20 $9.80 $5.20

Thanks Steve I hit a buck tri there $199.40! Great call!:)

Sweet Jesus!!!

2 singles, 2 hits so far in the Hollywood P6! I am unemployed and am on a limited budget! I could only go with singles in the first 2 races, and have 2 in the last 4! Its a nice little $32 dollar ticket that hopefully will work out for me!

3rd 5
4th 6
5th 12,13
6th 9,11
7th 2,5
8th 3,10

Hopefully the rest of you guys are doing well also! BEST OF LUCK to everyone that is still in it!
