8/7: Saratoga (Day 9/$42k C/O)
 

Carryover greets the Friday card after challenging, but anticipated, Thursday set. Missed the Quads on some tough horses, but had a few kooky successes including $104 jump race tri, $26 Best Value winner of the 7th and $90 nightcap tri. Hope you did OK. Big, big weekend on tap!

Question
 

How do you bet your selections;

Do you bet backups to your selections.

Do you box your selections as exacta,TRI, & Super.

Do you bet each or box each as a winner.

"Old Man Buck"...seems like I remember his horse winning sometime last year and paying well.

I don't have the P.P's, but for some reason his name is ringing a bell.

He ran in the BC juvie.

Lord Kipling in 8th :{>: :$:

Old Man Buck is a good price and, IMO, is in the same league as Always First and Mission Approved. I'll tri box them
