God bless Miggy...We miss him...Is he coming back for the Spa Meet?

Nope. Why would he? He's killing 'em out West.

You are right...He really made a great choice going out there. I remember reading that it was more or less an experiment because he's quite a family man and they were back in New York. I'm happy for his success.

trifectas

10 with 3 6 7 9 with 3 6 7 9 =$20

69 with 10 with 3 5 6 7 9 11 = $10

69 with 3 6 7 9 with 10 = $6


exacta

3 6 9 10 over the 3 5 6 7 9 10 11 = $24

= $60

I think we've seen enough of Dr. Franklin.

One thing worth noting is that the maiden claimers on the turf at Gulfstream were unusually weak this past meet. They ran a ton of them, and they all got full fields, and the horses were pretty much universally bad. There was a HUGE gap between those races and the maiden specials on the turf.

What you "don't" know DOES hurt you in racing.

Dance Cszar over party jones and samyn has the 8 third.
- $38 for that race , glad my "wager" was only message board.

just noticed that Most Distinguished payed $2.50 to place in the 3rd race. Good price for that field.

Well I'm glad we agree on "something".

The best thing about "The Mig" is that he is Italian... LOL

Ya know, this is a classic example of liking a longshot but not really knowing what to do with it. I thought Star for Tina had a shot to hit the board at a big price, but wasn't a serious contender to win. I refuse to bet to show, which leaves betting trifecta keys I guess. I tried to jam him in the 2nd slot instead in exactas.

It was a tough triple spread, as even though the two logical horses ran one-two, you sort of had to use more than a few horses.

Carry on the Dream is pretty interesting in the 5th race. He had an unusually crazy trip in his lone turf race going long.

its pretty universal any horse ridden by his former rider gets a crazy trip.....and if that does not work he just throws dirt at em

I totally agree, and it also seems that the later in the meet, especially the last month, where they were scrambling to fill cards the quality was even worse
