8/6: Saratoga (Week 3; Day 1)
Taking a breather Sunday paid off handsomely Monday with hits in the large, interesting early P4 of $455; chalky late quad of $113 (hit twice with SCR for $226); a pair of P6 consolations ($431 back on $288 play) and big exacta ($85) and trifecta scores ($405) in the Hall of Fame thanks to "Exotics Use" Thou Swell (20-1+). The early P4 featured 10-1+ bookends starting with Asmussen's crazily overlaid Warm Country, but the mutuel was muted by the desperate dead heat between Skipadate and Ninth Client in the 5th. The quartet was scheduled to pay $750+ ($1) but came back at $455 which at least meant avoiding the IRS window. Hope you did well.
Terrible weather forecast in store the next several days... Even with rain likely to ebb this afternoon, OFF THE TURF is likely...
