Default I Don't Have A Clue, 3 Hours Later, Anyone Else

About tomorrows card. I know I am gonna throw a couple $20's at Be Smart in the 5th, but man I really don't have a clue what to do.

I am just looking out there and hoping I am not the only one. God bless good ole dirt Not saying I would do better at the windows of course but man alive this is a puzzle like no other............................................. ......

I don't think I will be playing too much tomorrow. It's bad enough trying to figure East Coast vs West Coast .. now we have that and the different AW surfaces to contend with.

really put off with the greatest day in racing being turned into the 2 so-so days.

as far as the 5th race tomorrow, Gotta wonder how far C.S. Silk is going to go. Will she set the race up for Stardom Bound. What about Pursuit of Glory?

I still haven't settled on anyone, yet. But I'm still looking forward to being there Friday morning.

I have to admit it will be a guess on the "dirt" races. However, we still have all the great turf races to bet. When they change that to "Astro-turf," that's when I'll give up handicapping. (not really)

i think the two year old races offer the best chances at value. You have many horses that are very similar class and ability wise, but some are offering very nice ml odds. If you can find a horse or horses you like, you will be able to make some money.

i hope too, i just think there are some very big prices that are not any worse then the top 3 in several of the races. With all the dead money in the pools, its a great day to take some shots.

Should I handicap the card today or just skip it? These broad races seem kind of terrible.
