Big prices keep lighting board; $76k C/O Sunday

Threat of heavy weather this afternoon (Saratoga Weather Underground forecast) for carryover sequence of $76.5k precipitated Saturday by $134.00 Frank Martin nightcap shocker Ess Shape. The quirky maiden-laden slate was a bit of a roller coaster ride all afternoon actually, with plenty of opportunities to score with even the most random ideas.
Was able to cover the quad expense in the chalky early P4 ($86 back on $72 play), but got 10-1 in the triple utilizing the inverted key approach. As has been broached recently, the play takes logical players — here Imaging (2-1), Corporate Jungle (5-2), Unbridled Ocean (8-1) — in the top slots over prices — Simbamangu (10-1), Santo Gato (20-1), Clear Note (28-1). The 3x2x3 wager was $18, and when Corporate Jungle, Imagining & Santo Gato came under the wire, the $1 punt returned $176. I didn’t get a bet in, but a similar approach in the 8th had the potential to bring in $574 with Karakorum Legend (9-2), Unaccountable (7-2) & Bergerac (21-1)! As I’ve talked and written about, I’m finding this wager intriguing, and have now hit 4-5 for good money. The Spa turf races seem like the perfect place to play with this concept.
Overall it was a good day with another couple of modest hits, and I hope everyone did well and enjoyed Saratoga, Arlington, Del Mar or whatever else you were watching! Del Mar has a $140k+ carryover themselves today, and the weather there is certainly going to be less volatile than here!
