We hit the first 2 with Treaks North a horse I could never have made on anything less then this crazy almost all, we used Giant Oak and the 2 Zitos. Somehow we managed to leave off the chalk in the back end. Mostly because of me, we used the 2 Giant Causeways and the Todd firster. BLAH. Just missed a giant score.

Yeah, but that's not a bad beat, it's just bad handicapping.

Did you see how well 1 of the Giants Causeways ran, where he finished and what the pick 3 was paying for $1 to him?

Didn't see the race, but the chart said he was 3 wide (if I get a chance I will watch it tonight). No idea what it was paying to him, but I did see what it paid to the odds on favorite.

But my point is, was it really a bad beat? Or was it just bad cappin by leaving off a horse that ran big in his debut and eventually came back and won at 3/5?

He just likes to talk.

I think maybe we should have a contest...

Analyizethis and Kingturf go to the track (with or without Fats charts. That tiny detail is a matter of opinion).

In 30 words or less, what happens?

I just watched the race. Even though I think the winner was a capt obvious horse to use, that would definitely fall into the tough/bad beat category for me.
