First, I am totally flattered to be even mentioned in this thread let alone with some really great handicappers. You use your adjectives and Ill use mine. I have been trying to refine my wagering to 3-6 wagers a day/card lately and Im okay with that. More watching and learning than gambling on each race.
I looked at Race 1 and have to say I am interested in the 9, Travelin. Looks like he walked out of the gate in his debut and on the off the turf next out was put on the lead and ran decent. Nice little work on the turf tucked in there before that second race too. I like Rosario IF he can get to the turn before Paco and control the pace, he may have a chance. A lot of ifs but at 20/1 Ml, I may drop a dime on him

Good stuff Casp, I’m sure Miss DeVaux, who used to post here, would just LOVE that outcome. I, too, liked the way Traveling looked in the shortened field last time out. Has every right to improve on the turf and good very well sir a nice trip with Rosario aboard.

Tough, tough sequence to kick the card off! Throw in some bad weather and we might have ourselves a few headscratcher results! I’m stoked as can be for Saturday!

CRICKETS CRICKETS!!

Congrats to SethCarter (Seth) for hitting the Oaklawn P3 for races 6-8! Nice shot in the arm for tomorrow, but would have been WAYYY better had the 12 horse won race 7 @ odds of 55-1+. Oooof!

Great capping Seth!

Now let’s rock and roll tomorrow with this Pegasus card. Let’s cross our fingers that the full fields hold up with the weather.

Who’s got a single tomorrow? And why?! Let’s hear it folks. I’m torn between City of Lights and Coal Front as far as singles go. Let’s hope they both don’t win, as we’ll be looking for grande prices!


RAMP IT UP FELLAS (AND LADIES) !! LFGGGGGG

If Kenneally and Irad Win the opener tomorrow, i’ll Definitely be on for the ride.

Raison Martini’s turf work on 12/22 (:46.1 3/50) screams that he’s ready and his subsequent works tells me that Eddie and Co. like what they saw that day so they wanted him to slow things up next time.

Cheapest horse in the race could light up the tote tomorrow.

Let’s hear it folks!

I’m going bold and singling the 6 in race four (unless I change my mind sleeping). Its one of those races where many seem the same so I’m going to take a stand. I love Violence young horses and this is is perfect spot for me. Plus race 5 needs plenty of coverage and I like a few in race 2.

To me he was so MOTO that it just felt wrong. Selling for $725 making him the second of 86 Violence sold in 2017. I know he’s a hot stallion. He’s working well. Brown has good numbers in this spot, unlike Pletcher and Mott who also have firsters. He figures to be played heavily if he’s the goods. Not my cup of tea.

Still think 4 will be favorite but I gotta single somewhere and of the first 5 races he’s my choice. I couldn’t separate a bunch of others in this race so its logical for me. Good luck tomorrow

Singling ANY entry in race 4 certainly is bold! You’re more brave than I am, Tom! I hope you get paid off for sticking with the Violence horses, they really are running well!

Let’s crush it tomorrow!

If I play Race 4, my wager will be an exacta 3,6/3,4,6.... the 4 hasn't learned to pass anybody but if the 6 gets bet down to 3/2 or 2/1 then I'll do some thing else possibly single into a double or P3

this is going to be fun...and Sam Houston tomorrow

WEATHER NOW LOOKS TO BE A FACTOR WITH RAIN ALREADY HITTING AND EXPECTED OFF/ON THROUGHOUT THE DAY

Still a single? I was 4 deep without your horse.
He would have been my 5th choice.
