8/2: Saratoga (Day 10-Amsterdam)

I think this late pick 4 today is one to take the big swing at, use pick 6 type $$$$. Discretely Mine I think can be had and will be a clear single for smaller players and in the nightcap with Hey Babe out, Ramon on the stretchout with your "Best Value Horse" is a great play. Probably will take action in the race itself, but is exactly the type that will be worth double or triple in the pick 4.

You beat Discretely Mine, get that horse to hang on in the nightcap, with the first two legs pretty wide open with some upset possibilities.....could be the $10, $18, $24, $24 pick 4 that messes up the toteboard...

I am going to try and use some of last weeks bounty to smash this one.

That said, it will be a parade of $6 fidgits, but I am trying today.

6) 1 2 3 6 8 10
7) 1 2 3 6 8
8) 3 5 9
9) 8 9 10

$270

Also keyed Sweet Like Sugar all over the supers.

Thanks for the hospitality last week. As always, it was great fun! The boy is hooked. He can tell you to the minute when to leave the BBQ, in order to get to the paddock area, in order to place some action, in order to get trackside with 1 MTP. Down to a science! See you again in a few weeks.

Best of luck today.

I agree. I am putting at least $150 into the late pick 4, on 1 ticket.

I am with you on the 10 in the last at a price, Steve. Good Luck!

It's called Bankroll Management.

Fan, why use DM on your ticket at all if you think he can be had?

[fantini33]

My thought on including him was that I needn't be correct on my opinions in all legs.

6) Wide Open (wrong)
7) Wide Open (wrong again)
8) Discretely Mine could be had (seriously wrong)
9) Ramon could get that horse to wire (wrong.....interesting ride though.....on the pace, off the pace, shuffled back, came a little at the end. A pretty uncertain ride by arguably the nations best jock)

My point is, had I been correct once or twice, I didn't want that horse to be the beat that kept me from collecting on my other opinions, or lack thereof.

I'm wise enough to know that stringing together four solid thoughts consecutive is a difficult task, but sometimes you can "get it right" even when you are wrong.

I thought it looked wide open. Not so much. The return on that sequence ended up being more than respectable. ($273)

To hit big sequences you need to be able to include some odd horses, and hope you can land more than one in a four race block. I thought this was an opportunity, but felt the include of Disc. Mine would be prudent if the other legs did indeed blow up, which they didn't.
