I think speed tired on in the juvy because the pace was fast despite Trevors call. They went the second half slower than the 1st which is not like usual on turf.

Value is the most misused word in the betting lexicon. Value is only important when you win. The races with the most value are the ones you get more money back in than you put in. Betting on losers who are good prices will get you broke in a hurry. If you love a horse and his price is too short and there are no exotic plays that make sense, skip the race. Too many guys go against the horse they think will win because they dont like his price. The horse they like wins, they lose but they feel good about themselves because the got value. Makes no sense. That is the Cannon Shell betting editorial of week.

I say this because i can already see me sitting there with $500 worth of losing tickets after this race saying...you know I shoulda had that....

I was hoping for a Hossy training editorial for the week.....

all this time I could have been sending desperate text messages to Emily begging for her to give me a 7th chance.

I'm a little surprised that I have not heard anyone pick Nashoba's Key or Octave tomorrow. But then again, I haven't been listening that closely.

I fully expect Octave to put in her usual solid effort and finish 3rd or 4th. In that race I am using Ginger Punch and Lear's Princess.
Lady Joanne and Balance are the ones that scare me a bit. Octave just doesn't win enough.

What is with this parade of otherwise astute people overlooking tomorrow's biggest gift?

I'm starting to wonder if I have a different form of this race than everyone else....because on the pp's i'm using....Hystericalady is a cinch.

I don't see it. She didn't show much the other time she tried this distance, and while that race was on synthetic, I don't like horses that have distance questions AND seem likely to be involved in a speed battle early.

Octave is my second choice.

I'm in fifth in the contest but lost money on the day. Is something wrong with me or the contest point structure?

She is certainly better on the dirt than on the poly, and if Bear Now wasn't in the race I would like her chances.
With Bear Now in, I think Castro will have her involved early and then she will be out of gas in the final furlong.

Bear Now isn't going to burn her up....

Hystericalady is much better suited to the nine furlong distance than many people think.

I also took a big swing with her... would have made my year, let alone weekend. A photo I will lament for a LONG time.

Shocked or sick? Cause I'd be a little of both.

Had a pretty good opening day yesterday, just missing on some good hits. In the contest I had all 3 winners yesterday, just didn't play my pick 3 ticket right costing me $795 for a $1. Also missed out on the tri in the Juvy Turf, with Cannonball somehow nipping me out for third. Better things to come today I hope!
