Betting heavily into any 2yr old race at Saratoga is not a wise move.
Very often horses display high talent in the morning that doesnt translate right away to the races. It takes some horses a race or a few races to put it together. I found my friends info to be quite useful. If you look at a horses debut and don't have any insight that perhaps the horse is better than it showed(even in a winning, albeit green, effort) then you only have that race to go on. Its quite useful to know to expect an improved and faster effort.

The horse looked good. Looked much much better than his last effort. After all the info Oracle gave out (and who couldnt agree) I still couldnt make myself bet this race. These 2 year olds scare me a little--lol. But great info Oracle. Hey, I am in a handicapping contest this weekend at Keeneland--Saratoga is a track where I can wager--any info would be awesome.

Nice pick. I wish I had the balls to bet real money on 2yr olds. Still $186 for $20 is better than most exactas.

some people like to wait until a horse is 1/9
and then pound their chest and say, "I knew it"

that was a good win
Nice of you to share


anything going Saturday?

;-)
