I didn't pick #12 in the 6th in the contest, but I looked long and hard at him after the fact. Off the long layoff, good, fast works, positive jockey change, a decent close, and Sadler's Wells in his dam's breeding. Real endurance racing. Anyway, I bet $10 for him to place...yay! $93!

Congrats Alli. It's always satisfying when you do the analysis, come to a decision, place the bet and then get PAID for your opinion.

Tiz Always great with REAL MOOLAH Involved!

I had a lot of those moments years ago
I went to a Private Turf club Every Saturday,
playing five tracks all day long
~ usually coming home with more money than I started with

These days it’s all “Hypothetical money “
... but still exciting to win anything

Loving A “SECRET MESSAGE” Both In Life + Horses
This Mare Whispered to me Loud + Clear

So I Put her #1 In MY Own Contest

Heading to the wire I was not even in contention for Victory
That all changed when SECRET MESSAGE crossed the wire first

Always Wise To Listen When A Horse Whispers To You!

Lol...it was an exciting race. I'm sure my neighbors heard me!

Very nice play in a difficult race to decipher. I don't think I would have had the winner had I played 10 of the horses in the field. Turf races always seem like the hardest ones to me; however, Saturday's card had few easy races from about the 5th race on.

Alli, I don't see your bet on the ROI thread. Is it somewhere else or am I missing it? Nice bet but where is it???

I think what Alli is referring to is a wager she made with real $$ through an ADW account - much more satisfying that with cyberdollars.
