Mondays early double at Mountaineer
 

In the 1st race i'm using the 3 and 10.The 3 is coming out of 1 sprint where at the half in 45.4 he was only 1.5 lengths behind.The 2 turns should suit this horse and with Huber Villa-Gomez aboard a definite play.Also the 8 was in the same race beaten 16 lengths while this horse was only beaten 1 length.The 10 raced well his 1st start and is trained by Michael Maker and has had 2 good works since that race.In the 2nd race we have the 1,3,6,7,8,9 and 10 coming out of the same race.We're only using the 6 and 9.The 6 has only 4 lifetime starts and despite losing to the 7 twice,the 7 has 27 starts.Enough is enough.The 9 in the last 2 starts has improved and Ozzie takes the mount.My only question with the 9 is why now are you putting on blinkers.So the early double play will be 3,10/6,9 and then an extra press 3,10/6.

A better start by 6 and we've got that double! Can't wait for the Late DD... anyone else you like tonight? I like the 6th in Race 8 - any thoughts?

Mountaineer 4th
 

You might be right had the 6 gotten off better he could have won it all.i like the 5 in the 4th race.Been idle since June with a nice little work.Could be the best speed in the race and despite never winning at the distance could get brave on a clear lead.

*over the intercom...*

"attention....attention....The Baron of Balmoral respectfully requests The Master of The Mountain's late DD picks for this evening"

Mountaineer 5th
 

What i saw from the first 2 races around 2 turns it favored closers.Sorry but there will be no late double tonight since their is no value in it.So in the 5th race i think the 8 and 9 can run 1st and 2nd.Lets get the 5 in the 4th race home.

Well damn...:(

Thanks Mark, I used the 5 in my P3 (went with 2,6/4,5/4,8)... we'll see what happens.

Well, that was a tricky surprise... bye-bye P3

I like the 8 in the 5th race and so does Mark, so that's good enough for me... 8 across the board and box 8/9...

Well a profit of $6 in the 4th race $10wp.I just bet a $10 exacta box in the 5th 8/9.

Villa-Gomez pays $88... ouch!

Huber at 43-1 in that race??? Thats unheard of for that dude.

No, did my boy Villa Gomez bring one home at 43-1?

Do we get paid because they finished together.I looked at the late double and i would take a chance with 1,6/3,4.Got some work to do might be back later.The double is just for you O BARON OF BALMORAL.

I don't think most people realized he was on that horse, he was a late add in... I learned a valuable lesson - never under-estimate Mr. V-G!

I like the 8 here in the 8th race... trained by Knipe and he's 38% first off the claim

ok, I put my $$$ on a horse that is in the 62% that doesn't win first of the claim for Knipe :(

Woke up this morning too see that i was right their was no real value in the late double unless you bet it cold for $200.Much better that we saved our money to try again today.Have a good day everyone.
