Let's get lucky!
Steve

I’ll fill in that winner in 7th at Delmar for you

Mustang Knicky

100% agree.. it's after that I'm stymied..

Ya I’m going to single Mustang as after that you need a lot to cover. Think 2 and 13 are good looking first time starters. 5 should be better second time out and favorite although looks like turf horse to me ran much better on dirt debut. Fun card today. GL

Thanks and good luck as always!

Please check your numbers in the verticals at Del Mar 9th. Think you want 4,5,8,10 and not 3, 4, 6, 8 as listed

This **** is brutal sometimes had that 9 there

I’m jumping on this 9 in Delmar 6

Heck of a handicapping job at DMR Steve.
You had every winner in your selections.
Tried to put a few multis together but unfortunately keyed the wrong races

I don't think you are going to see Demuro pay $59 too often.
For those of you that don't know , he is world class

THX. For whatever reason, I've always done well on DMR opening day. Had a good enough feel today and did OK, but left stacks of cash on the table (especially the $3 P3).

Steve, the payouts for some of those horses are incredible! Nice job highlighting some of those longshots. The late pick 4 paid $25,000. :eek:
