that was, without a doubt, the toughest race to cap on the entire card.

i ended up with royko because i was just looking for a horse who had a chance to improve enough to win at a price.

garesche certainly looks real tough right back after the big layoff -- though i did notice (if i recall right from looking last night), that he ran a pretty big one after his LAST big layoff and second off the bench he just paired it up, so I decided that he is going to take a good deal of action, which I don't like when I imagine he will likely just run back to his last race instead of improving.

If he improves -- he's your winner; I'm just banking against it!

lol royko i like him, nice horse. early on in his career he burned up some of my money but this past july he made it all up with a nice score for me. just can see him winning it tho today. i think the improving horses in the field are the 2 outside ones

The Bri Guy.. killin' at Cicero.. Nice!

And how can you not go with a horse named Royko in Chicago?

All in all, not a bad day at all for a track that is as unpredictable as Hawthorne is in the winter!

Fell apart a bit in the late races, but the trifecta on Race 2 and the overlaid exacta on Race 7 would have made it a profitable day...had I actually been playing it

I'll be back later tonight with some picks for tomorrow, and I'm just going to keep hoping that I'll have a good day Sunday when I'm actually playing it!

LOL i dont need my own horn tooted or nothin but i think my picks did a little better, and i used only two per race. playin 4 horses per race on multirace wagers gets expensive

ha! there's a thread for tomorrow already, step up and post there and get on board then you horn tooter!

i just used four horses here because that seemed to be the basic stucture for the selections forum.
