8/13: Saratoga (Day 18)

Kasept · #1 08-13-2007, 04:29 AM

Another solid day of handicapping winners with modest exotic success.. The happy stunner of the day was Wish Me Success (4-1 ML) being allowed to go off at an insane 12-1. But that is the benefit of Sundays with 40,000 people in the building who are not really horseplayers... $400.00 $1 P4 was available with the $16 (2x2x2x2) play. Hope you did well.

First half of the meet ends Monday with an excellent card...

is this show on everyday just happened to pick up last few minutes while tuning into siros seminar

Scav · #3 08-13-2007, 04:16 PM

I'll tell you this folks, if Afrashad is 7/5 or better, it is a steal. This horse is fast, in any aspect and should win this easily. I can't believe I am seeing 2/1 with 4MTP. Silver Timber is a good horse, but not as fast as Afrashad.

Scav · #4 08-13-2007, 04:22 PM

Guess I am an idiot

Dude, it is proceed with caution with Eibar, I love betting him because I know I am getting a hard ride the whole time. He did what he had to and it was his only move, he wouldn't have hit the board going wide either.
