I sure don't think the other way yet!! Leaders banged heads good and still ran 3-4.
Tell you what I did hear, and wish we had someone on laptop at Big A. Durkin said as they hit he backside that they were running into a strong wind.
Headwind on the backside will stop speed. tailwind carries it home.
Be nice if its gone. But I stil need to see more before I play the late pik-4.

Huge rail skimmer in the third, rides the rail and takes off like a jet.
I have firmly concluded that the rail is still the place to be, and that closing is possible due to the winds.
Check out the fractions in the race, 23:2, 47:4, 1:14:1
Like the last race the opening 1/4 was ok because they weren't into the wind yet.
Must be ferocious wind to slow them down that badly on the backside, then they crawl home due to the energy expense into the wind.
Its playable, all that matters is that you can close.

Northwest wind is a crosswind, they're running northeast up the backstretch...

I guess the rail is still strong but perhaps now that the pinheads have figured out about the track they are riding more aggressively and the leader isn't able to get quite as comfortable up front as days past. Plus, most of the horses that took advantage of the track this week were at least reasonably logical while today we have had two straight bad horses on the lead.

I bet 5 grand on Magna Graduate (that's as high as I go). Better than laying 11/10 on a football game.

Yeah, I know it's red board but I'm finished putting anything of value up on here. I noticed 10 new members registered when the bowls went up (same thing last year). I'm not putting up our plays until 10 minutes to KO.

Played Cowboys -6 1/2 early and will play Panthers +3 late. It's really not that hard when you have talent.

Last time: If you can't find the number you're looking for, PASS........
No man living can beat the 11/10 laying or taking a square price.

They play the National Anthem EVERY day.



PS: Actually it's not to hard to figure out when I've had a big day; I come on here and start pontificating
Boss-

If this were the case, you could have reason to pontificate EVERY day. The point is, Dixie International is so far above these no nothings that I dont see why you keep throwing your pearls to swine.

I can verify that the Boss did have 5k on Magna Graduate. On BC day he had 5k on Invasor, Street Sense, Thors Echo and Miesques Approval.

As for the bowl play at DI, we are steady working on them right now. I will give you a clue though...we bet LARGE on the team named after the condom.

Figure it out.

How dare you mock the boss! How dare you mock the greatest gambling mind of the 20th and 21st centuries!

We are use to it here at DI though. Everyone is jealous. Are you jealous Hoss? Dont you wish you could be a WINNER? Dont you wish you could rub elbows with the stars? Dont you wish you could flash the cash and have a way with the LADIES like Dixie?

Come see me if you want a job.
