Default winner of the 8th at Gulf yesterday

Andy, how in the world did you come up with that horse in the 8th at Gulfstream? That horse cost me the late pick 4. I spread with 3 horses in that race, but never considered the winner.

If I told you I would have to kill you.

To be honest, a friend of mine who I respect liked her, so I threw her in. I was originally only using the 3 and 4.

Default Now that's a good friend

You owe that person!! Bravo closing from dead last, basically never going further out than the 2 path, never getting in any trouble...Amazing!! Congrats, that was a nice pick 4 (it probably would have been a nice one with the 3 or 4 in that race as well, although we would have brought the price down a bit by both having it).

It's a give and take world at the racetrack....but I certainly more than appreciate that particular help. In this case it wasn't like I needed to do anything particularly smart to get the other three winners.

That payoff was unbelievable. It was like 3 1/2 times the parlay.

I am exceedingly glad this was asked, as the same question was burning a hole in my brain. Though we know not what this friend liked, such friends are a gift.

Default Andy, another horse from yesterday

I assume you looked at/played the Magna 5 yesterday... how did you see the 4th race at Santa Anita? We used 2 in that leg, the 6 and the 7 (2nd and 3rd), while needless to say, having the other 4 winners. Frankel's Brilliant Cut KILLED us. I thought he was basically unusable.

thats nothing, i went five deep and still lost, killing my pk four.

nothing burns me more than getting beat in a race that I'm going wide in.

Jim, I even used the 55-1 8 horse, Le Cordon Bleu... which seemed like a good idea until mid stretch..
