I know this sounds like a copout, but I've handicapped well and bet terribly for the most part.

i was doing bad, but hit the pick 4 with Blame last week and put me up a bunch for the meet. gave back 100 of it yesterday though. i suck at picking horses in NY, so other than the spa i stay away, but it's such a fun meet

I feel like I have been the same way. Always have the right horses, just never played out my tickets smartly.

Don't tell me you didn't spend that $100 wisely.

you got to play exactas here. use favorites with a horse thats an overlay...below the surface of the "vacationers" radar. yesterday, stevil, china and hammock rounded off nice exatas under the more obvious horses. i caught two of them(did not have the chalky winner over china who went off 4 to 5 in her previous races...it paid 67). another angle is horses that run well and come back. bishop of nola was a steal at 10 dollars against the lowly state breds after winning here and getting claimed. the horse won by a football field.(missed the late pic 3 because i did not use telling.) i go everyday and rarely come out behind by the end of this meet. i'm killing them this year with about 2 exactas a day. this week, last sunday and monday were my only negative days. these exactas are crazy here, even the more chalky ones pay around twenty and i've hit 50 to 100 dollar ones that were not very hard to come up with using combinations of faves and sleepers.
