12/28: Aqueduct ($31k+ C/O)

[pointman]

Nice go at it Steve, too bad with the bomb in the last. Still it made for a fun afternoon between KNS and a pk 4 with potential for only 1/2 of $50. Still in the black for the day!

Andy and I were just talking and he pointed out that Home and Away had a mystifyingly terrible ride by McCauley last time and was in decent enough form based on the turf effort two back. Add in the good race on the Inner back in 12/05, and you could make a case. Then things worked out for her up front, and she got a terrific pilot effort from Jose Espinoza. Yahtzee..

I downloaded the free Thorograph sheets for today and tomorrow and originally liked Home & Away. After looking at it further through I decided he didn't probablyt didn't have a chance. ( I truly am an IDIOT!) It was all I could do not to put my head between a door jamb and a door and slam the door on my stupid head. It was even more difficult when I saw the pay out, would have got me to almost break Even for the entire year. One of these days I'll hit a big pick 4, lets just hope I don't go broke first!

Anyone playing the Big A tomorrow?

I'll be playing Hacker. I hate when that happens, but you will get it sooner or later.

You should have watched the replay of the ride she got last time. It was a beaut.

Unfortunatley I was at work and couldn't even access the program numbers. let alone review a replay of the race. I had to access that information via my NYRA One Account via the telephone.

I guess that is the one good thing about doing this as a hobby rather than a liveliyhood (SP), I'll still get paid for working today even though I didn;t hit the Pick 4.

Not to blow smoke up your A$$, BTW but I'm amazed that any-one can actually make a living betting the horses. I am truly amazed!

[blackthroatedwind]

These days I'm amazed when I cash a bet.

I'm amazed that a horse I have money on, that is winning with a sixteenth to go, hasn't spontaneously combusted before the finish.

I'm due.

Figured you noticed this (hopefully before the fact and you had a few bucks on her.)

That race was full of idiot moves; her's was the 1st.

Check out the chart, looks like a turf race.

Yeah, the ex-Jerkens horse who was in the race today also got a brilliant ride. But nothing compared to McHauley's gem.

It's a redboard....but I hit the Pick-4.

Nice hit... pretty good payoff for 3 logicals and a bomb. Well done.

Of note, also, I thought, was Fragoso's ride on Strong Presence. He enters in nice position and then decides to pull a Kent D, adjusting/loosening and readjusting the reins. Nothing like being ready for the stretch run.

As for your redboard. You're supposed to have this horse. This is YOUR advantage that comes from watching races.
