![]() $33 Indy's Forum (4th) and $17 Cleric (6th), both beneficiaries of a strong gold rail Wednesday, helped create an ideal situation at Aqueduct with a mandatory payout $25k carryover on the year-ending afternoon card. The lone tally for me on the day was the 8th where $11 Mt. Glittermore keyed a nice $103.50 triple with Smokin Hero and Base Commander. Be sure to peruse the 12/30 charts and comments for horses that tried to rally from the two path out, as they were up against a very apparent speed track inside.
It's been a very fun year which featured a number of highlights for those that follow the opinions here. The big Magna 5 hit in January and P6 score during the summer were obviously the most notable, but highly accessible P4 plays continued to offer consistantly solid returns. I hope you did well in 2009 and that we all get to experience another enjoyable and profitable year in 2010. Thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement in 2009, and I offer my best wishes for a wonderful New Year of health and hapiness to all the ATR listeners/Derby Trailers and their families...

I always find Marathons slightly inscrutable. Strange things happen as a result of sometimes oddly developing pace scenarios. Nite Light certainly to be respected and a single out of necessity in the P6, but I think there's plenty of opportunity for an offbeat winner there... Thanks for the very kind compliment. I think that it's been an absolutely great year for racing and as always, am tickled to have any chance to help make it more pleasurable for players and fans. Best to you and yours for '10! SB

![]() Gonna mess around with Tiger's Rock in the marathon and hope he takes to the dirt a little.
I also want to say thanks for all the work on the show and website. I have purchased 3 books on racing for the first time in years and have found each to refresh my thinking on this great game. They are: Six Secrets of Successful Bettors, Exotic Wagering, and Betting Thouroughbreds in the 21st Century. I love the discussions with Steve Davidowitz you have done on ATR. My New Years wish is for Jack Van Berg to get one more horse he can take on the triple crown trail !!! Happy New Year.

![]() If the track is fair, or they all go thinking the bias is still in effect and they all have some speed, I get the feeling that whoever can close will win the first, the question is, who can close?

![]() I agree, I hit with her yesterday and can't believe that lightning would strike twice. But, she is just the kind of jockey that would win here as she would run contrary to what everyone is expecting.
3 inches plus out here on LI and expecting rain (but it is still pretty cold). Liking 3,5,6 in a box. Still trying to figure out if the 10 fits... GL, Chuck |
