I like the 3 horse, Secret Witness 4/1, trained by Kimmel, though this one must have issues, as in run 1, lay off; run 2, lay off, etc. Had the rail last out, and yields late with Desormeux. (That's good.) Concerns me.

Another of interest is Guidry's mount, the 1 horse, Give No Ground 8/1. This one was beaten last out by Secret Witness, but hit the gate, and remained 5 wide. Hopefully, he gets another shot today.

im thinking the bump at the start and being a tad wide makes up for the length the 7 got beat by, i will take $5 for place though....

Cajungator26 · #32 03-29-2007, 04:06 PM

You did better than I typically do, Grits.

Good racing luck to you for next time!

Do you play 'em lots?

Don't give up on them if you don't play them often. I wasn't good at them when I first really started playing them last year, but I've gotten much better at hitting them since. You've only gotta hit a good one to make up for a few bad ones

That was a pep talk!

tap · #35 03-29-2007, 04:17 PM

Your not doing bad at all. your horses are winning or hitting the board and that's all you can ask for. Hell, none of mine even hit the board today.

Grits · #36 03-29-2007, 04:19 PM

Thank you so much Brian, I needed that dose of pep. I'm not worth .05 at exotics. And I really should know better. I rarely ever play them as they are usually money burners, though last week's $132.00 double worked pretty good late one afternoon.

That's ok though Tap, like Steve said, "you hit plenty at fine prices that make up for a lot of those misses."

Yep. And it comes down to not having an expectation of winning every day, but of keeping the bankroll intact over a long period of time. if I go 3-4 days, or a week without a winner I don't panic. You have to stick to your guns and stay with what has worked for you. Of course, there is a point where you have to validate Whether it is still working and that is the rub.

Grits · #39 03-29-2007, 05:09 PM

Spoken so well. And as much as I'd like to know exotics, I should probably stick with flat win betting and an exacta here or there. I gave up trifectas long ago, for the most part. May bet one, but rarely.

There are MANY days that I do not win, and I do get discouraged at times, any horseplayer does; and one that says it never bothers them is lying, that is not possible, the human psyche will not allow it. After a while, not cashing will get to even the best. No matter how good they are at covering it.

This is true. One of the things I will do if I am getting chewed up for an extended period is look at a card and key on 2 races (no more than 2) that look to have absolute locks and then I will play them, chalk and all. even if you hit just one you will have a 50% win pct that day and will make a small profit if you can get at least 6/5 on your winner. Does wonders for the confidence just watching your horse cross the line first.
