Don’t want to hijack your thread but that #12 horse in race 8 is my long shot play of the day. Ward gets them ready and could be sitting on a big one at a nice number. good luck

There are a lot of price horses that I like on this card. Race 8 looks like it could produce a longshot as I'm not sold on the likely favorites at 5.5 furlongs. I could definitely see the Ward horse winning and Velazquez is aboard which is a great sign.

Race 3, I'm curious to see if there was an outside bias in the New York Stallion race that most of these are coming out of. I may take a shot on the horse Devious Mo as he got a nice inside trip in that race but just did not have anything in the stretch. Dreamer's Disease also set a pretty solid pace inside and then faded badly and I think will run better. And not a fan of the likely favorite Step Dancer.

Anyway, good luck. I never mind hearing other people's thoughts.

My picks just sucked yesterday. I’ve now wagered $48.00 and gotten back a pathetic $24.40. I haven’t really had a chance to look super close at the card today. With weather up in the air, I’m going to try to hit the early turf races.

Best bet: Race 2 - #4 Scuttlebuzz, 9/2 ML (Rodriguez/Lezcano).

Best value: Race 3 - #12 Unleveraged, 6/1 ML (Nevin/Santana).

Unleveraged got scratched. I’ll take a shot on the #6 Solid Tune in Race 6. 20/1 ML and currently 7/1.

I’ve been so bad, I’m going to forego the commentary for today.

Best bet: Race 7 - #6 Winter Pool, 9/2 ML (Brown/Santana).

Best value:Race 5 - #10 Coach Bahe, 5/1 ML (Bauer/Gaffalione).

[moses]

Winter Pool finished 2nd. Coach Bahe didn’t do much running.

Best bet: Race 10 - #4 Rockemperor 6/1 ML (Brown/Rosario)

Best value: Race 1 - #4 Moving Pictures 8/1 ML (Breen/J.Ortiz)

[moses]

Rockemperor ran a nice race to finish 2nd, returning $6.20. A little sad when losing $1.80 on the day feels like a win. Maybe a new month will help change my luck. Tally is now at:

$72.00 wagered
$34.40 returned

Sunday August 1st

Best bet: Race 9 - #3 Jackie’s Warrior 6/5 ML (Asmussen/Rosario).

Best value: Race 6 - #11 Saratoga Affair 10/1 ML (Brown/I.Ortiz).
