Tampa Pick 4/Saturday

[GPK]

Hope you don't mind Bigs


Race 6 OC32k/N2X 1 1/16 TURF

#2 COME CLOSE (4-1ML) - J. Shep solid 2nd back. Has back numbers and will be heard from late.

#8 SNAPPHOK (12-1ML) - Montavo stays and I love him on closers. 33% J/T combo. Gulick 26% 2nd off and having a solid meet from limited runners. UPSET SPECIAL and a must bet at 8-1 or better.

#9 GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL (9-5ML) -Not a fan of geldings record at the disatance, but too tough to ignore at a short price.


RACE 7 CLM12500 6.5 FURLONGS

#5 STEVEBISCUIT (7-2ML) - Back to Tampa sand where he owns 2 wins. Drops in half from last 3 as well. Alfredo knows success with him.

#2 FORT KNOW (8-1ML) - 3 for 3 ITM over track. Not much other speed signed on. JJ may try and run away from them early.

#3 RAMPANT (5-2ML) - Cuts back and top jock should insure good trip.


RACE 8 BUD CHALLENGER 1 1/16

#7 GOTCHA GOLD (6-1ML) - Needed last and like the 1 mile jog last week. Looking for a big effort at a nice price.

#8 ISTAN (7-2ML) - Month off for Mott runner after finishing behind the Lawyer last out.

#5 CHEROKEE PRINCE (8-1ML) - Just the kind of small stakes race that team Allen loves to upset. Turf to dirt and never off the board in 5 tries at the distance...including 2 wins.


RACE 9 OC40K/N3X ABOUT 1 MILE TURF

1 & 1A ENTRY (9-2ML) - Martinez named to both, so assuming one of them will scratch. Either of them appear capable.

#8 TRAVOIS (2-1) - Proctor with mind boggling numbers all around. Lez stays put.

#5 SAINT KNOWS (9-5ML) - Some back races that tower over these. Centeno has won on her previously.

Proctor is unreal Scuds.

42% winners at the meet (40 starters)
30% 2nd off 45-180 (43 starters)
27% won last start (55 starters)
27% turf (154 starters)
26% routes (198 starters)
35% allowance (79 starters)
Proctor/Lezcano 58% from 19 starters with an ROI of $4.21

mindboggling...

Scuds....all those stats make it even more unreal when you caught her last week as your single at 7-1. I think your handicapping ability goes largely unnoticed here.

The only thing I did differently that day is not get a form.Went deep in 1st leg(8th,)and got the price.Then Proctor had horses in the next 2 races.I already had a poor paying p4 ending with the Proctor in the short field 9th.So,I took the 5 horses I didn't have in the 9th to the Proctor in the last.I had no idea what Travois' past performances were.For $25 she keyed about a $750/1 p3.Good thing I don't bet much,because I haven't done all that much since she won.I will though.If I struggle,then I start betting less.I think most people bet more(don't know why.)

because the great majority of gamblers "chase" their losses.

Me mind? Come on Bro. Actually, Saturdays are tough for me. After being gone all week, the honeydo's build up.

That said, the lawn is mowed and I'm ready to go.

In the Bud Challenger, I think Cherokee Prince and Gottcha Gold will cancel each other out on the front end setting it up for Hemingway's Key, Bushmills Best and Istan.

My ticket:

6 - 1,2,8,9
7 - 2,3,6 with the scratch of the 2, I added the 7 to my ticket on track.
8 - 1,2,8
9 - 5,8

Needed the same two horses in the 9th as you. Very very disappointing day as I used $50 horse in the 3rd top and bottom in exactas with the three chalk. None of the chalk runs, as I watch the $50 horse cross the wire, I realize I had the right horse, but have nothing to show for it.
