To continue this P5 analysis ($1 parlay, $1 payoff):
6/2/2007: $302, $4,602
6/1/2007: [not hit]
5/28/2007: $225.08, $691.00
5/27/2007: $54,683.33, $23,544.00
5/26/2007: $2,571.09, $10,582.00
5/20/2007: $809.10, $4,883.00
5/19/2007: $400.60, $2,596.00
5/13/2007: $2,281.66, $4,928.00
5/12/2007: $206.22, $346.00

The only time the payoff was significantly higher than the parlay was the 27th and that payoff was a 50 cent pool sweeper. Doubt they were complaining.

I'd take Castro or Lezcano over Bravo and get triple the price. . .

Sometimes it can be tough to find value there -- track bias, trainer/jock colony, etc. It's especially tough with Bravo because 2nd and 3rd choices could in fact become the favorite, co-favorite or a tight 2nd choice. Bravo can make a big difference at Monmouth, both on the board and on the track. I've won races with horses that shouldn't have won because of Bravo -- strictly because of strategy and him outriding other jocks. It's tactical. I've also won races where I should have finished second because of a little "move" or something of the like.

He "knows" the track, and understands it in a way that others tend not to. He also picks up on the nuances before others.

He also rides first call for almost all the top trainers, so you have a situation like yesterday, when he got beat by a horse he rode the previous time, because he chose another horse (Breen). It just adds to the handicapping mystery.
