Sometimes when you see small-fry connections and a cheap price tag you expect to get a price when they debut and you don't because a lot of buzz comes with the horse. I thought this would be the kind you'd get 8/1 on at Parx in a debut -- and you see 5/2 on the ML at GP.
You think he is a play against? Seems like there are some better options in the race, at better prices.

No. I think he can run.

For whatever reason, so do other people though. Many times these horses won't get bet... this one will because his connections are working him fast and I suppose talking him up.

The value's just not going to be there. Just thought I'd post this though because of the sheer coolness of his name.

Thank, Doug. I normally would have tried to beat him. Between Hossy giving out the winner in the 3rd, I liked the 7 in the 4th and this one, the Pick 3 paid a nice enough $271 for $1

That was mostly all Hossy. I would have never played the ticket had he not said he liked the 5 in the 3rd.

Good Jub Kev, does this mean you are printing out the Western Fair sheets as we speak?

No. My ADW is having a contest for Charles Town tonight. Leave me alone now, I gotta handicap those races.

Damn that's fast. And if you don't believe me then watch the stretch runs at Hawthorne. Sheesh. Can those "horses" actually be classified as such?

I was just casually browsing through the thread and not paying much attention to who was actually having the conversation or who was writing what.

So when I read this, I was SURE that PG1985 wrote it, because it's the kind of out of the blue redboard that he's made famous.

Turns out it was you the whole time!

Surprise surprise!

I am unapologeticly becoming a serious redboarder. My win % of bets that I have been posting on here are approaching Janet Del Castillo type numbers.

The win % of bets I don't post on here would make Mike Mitchell blush.

Posting my bets on here has become the ultimate mush for me.


By the way...GFY
