2/7: Santa Anita (Late P4)
 

Back in brutally cold New York for the week, and it convinces me that the Florida gig ain't so awful... The weather frosted out Philly Park looks for Tuesday, and fear of cancellation shied me from AQU for Wednesday, so Santa Anita it is Wednesday!

Got lucky for readers Saturday at Gulfstream with a $400 P4 play made possible by the outrageous 100-1+ Hal's My Hope in the nightcap. Good thing too, as anyone who caught it wouldn't have been happy with a tiny payout for any of the other inclusions after Invasor, Naissance Royale and Nobiz chalked out the first three quarters of the quad! Glad some people caught it...

-bt-

Alright Byk, I am on board for that exact ticket. I have to thank Hooves for talking about Political Force, won about $100 so I figure I would drop down on this......GET IT DONE. My first ticket I have played exactly to spec.....

Oh boy. The weight of Scavs on Steve's shoulders. No pressure. :rolleyes:

scav that has a you ed better be right tone to it....lol

NO PRESSURE BYK, NO PRESSURE

(he knows I am playing, I didn't have time to get it and I always miss the 5th race so I have to play the late three instead of four)

:eek: Don't know if THIS was the one to jump on.. Where were you Saturday for the GP score? Or the previous SA '4' pop? Got to get by this 5th... Tough group of races anyway, but this 5th had me scratching my head!

Maybe the play is an overlap of Rootdog and me... One common horse in each leg... 4-4-2-4..

Great confidence level.....

I am not a huge fan of playing other's ticket verbatum, I would rather make my own idiotic mistakes BUT Hooves got me some play money so what the hell, $48, I have done alot worse..

I have faith in ya Steve...But I like Roots chalk in the 5th...


5) 2,3,4,5
6) 4,5
7) 2,6,7
8) 4

24 bux...

nice start boy o

Well BT.. that's a good start!

You know.. it's a tough game. I thought that 5th was VERY quirky, but felt very good about the winner. I thought the key was how much the 1 and 7 would cancel each other. Expected a good stretchout try from the 7, but really was trying to get the 4 into the exacta... I had a good buzz off him when I capped. Winner (6-1) and the 4 (14-1) got off at silly odds...

Race 5

RESULTS

BOOM!!!!

congrats guys!....keep it going. I was not impressed by what I saw in the pp's for tap it light and I got beat....I expected a quicker pace as well as more from Gomez and Gallagher...and ole Michael Baze moved a little slow with the slower then expected pace. After watching the race, It was an obvious prep for Victorian Prince and I was most impressed by the effort of Bitter Bill, looked good stalking on the first stretch out.

God damn four got going too late.....HALF WAY BYKSTER

R WE Going To Freeze Together??
 

I'm up here freezing like you!

Am I going to put you on the air again Friday and Sat at RPI/Union??

Nice double.........I had it.

My first actual post.............let's see if it goes through!!!!!

4 is a watch horse for next out.. And my 7 broke badly... I didn't care for the Baffert-Mig thing at all, and was getting nervous about leaving her out...

UNBELIEVABLE, I was going to box 5-6-7 becuase that 2 horse was not getting Gomez action and THE F"N GOD DAMN INTERNET wouldn't load up.....
