Another shutout so now at $120.00 wagered and only $64.30 returned.

Wednesday August 11th

I'm not crazy about too many horses on this card. I think Gotta Go Mo in the 4th is probably the most likely winner today and considered making him my "best bet" but he's 7/5 so I'm going to take a shot with Lucky Brody who gets some class relief and faces off against a duo of favorites with possible distance limitations. I'm not totally against ML favorite Town Avenger in the 7th. She looks like a pretty talented filly but I suspect she may get bet down even more than that. Casse has been ice cold at Saratoga...but Earth Strike had some trouble last time out and still finished well and I think will appreciate the added distance. Plus Rosario is back aboard.

Best bet: Race 5 - #6 Lucky Brody, 10/1 ML (Noda/Franco).

Best value: Race 7 - #4 Earth Strike, 8/1 ML (Casse/Rosario).

Well I was right to bet against the favorites in race 5…but landed on the wrong longshot. Earth Strike ran alright but finished a distant 4th. Going to go with a pair of Pletcher horses today, though I wouldn’t be shocked if we don’t get the ML prices on them.

Best bet: Race 4 - #1 Chocolate Cookie, 3/1 ML (Pletcher/I.Ortiz)

Best value: Race 10 - #12 Abaan, 6/1 ML (Pletcher/Saez)

Friday August 13th

Best bet: Race 9 - #3 Bon Raison, 8/1 ML (Sisterson/Vargas). I missed out on Lexitonian and don’t want to miss out again. The works have been incredible and everything points to him being ready to run a big race.

Best value: Race 6 - #9 Ace Up Her Sleeve, 15/1 ML (Klesaris/Gaffalione). Pletcher’s horse is the one to beat here but I’ll take a shot on this one who Steve Klesaris ships up from Delaware after a nice workout on August 3rd.

Alternate: Race 5 - #5 Lia Marina, 5/1 ML (Clement/Rosario)

With two 2nd places on Thursday, I now stand at…

Wagered: $136.00
Returned: $74.10

Major General is not going to make it in so I’ll go with Raging Bull in the Fourstardave as my best bet.

I think Tapaloof needed a race. Will be playing him back next time out.

Things have been pretty ugly for me lately. I'm now at:

Wagered: $160.00
Returned: $74.10

Wednesday August 18th

Best bet: Race 6 - #6 Gailhorsewind, 3/1 ML (Rice/J.Ortiz). I still think that this is a very talented turf horse and I'm going to buy-in with the rider switch and the addition of blinkers. I also wouldn't be shocked to see that 3/1 ML price drift up a bit and if that happens, I'm all over this one.
Alternate: Race 4 - #3 Blewitt, 2/1 ML (Pletcher/Saez). There is some rain in the forecast so it's possible that the turf races end up off. If so, I like Blewitt as the lone speed in this one and expect him to run much better in his 2nd start off the layoff.

Best value: Race 10 - #9 A Colt Named Susie, 30/1 ML (Noda/Samuel). This horse drops from MSW to MCL, a move that Noda isn't particularly successful with...but the one thing Samuel probably does well is sprint and I really don't like any of the likely favorites in this one...so why not take a big swing?
Alternate: Race 8 - #3 Derrynane, 5/1 ML (Clement/Rosario). I have my doubts that we're getting 5/1 on this horse...but a solid bet at that price.
