Trying not to be sentimental here (On the Acorn! ) and thinking about taking Hockey the General in the 5th.....

edit: Stupid sentiment won out..... changed to On the Acorn.

I'm taking General Bueno in the 1st race with Gomez riding. This maiden was a beaten favorite last time out and has truf breeding. I really like the trainers % with first time grass starters, they seem to really move up when Peter Eurton moves them to the grass.

The mindset of this game is messing with my head. It's all about playing as absolutely safe as you possibly can and looking for chalk chalk chalk that seems too good to miss the board.

It's like fishing for $2.10 show prices.

You're daring to take a first-time grass runner

Yes this is really against my rules. Never bet a horse when they are trying something new, like dirt to grass. I have more sucsess with maiden racesand this trainer moves them up when he goes to the grass. Hope I made the right choice.

The key is not really the horse you select(per say.) It is about the competition.There are 3 slots,and if your horse runs it's B,OR C race(or bad trip,) will your horse fight to get 3rd? Of the competitors in the race,how hard is it gunna be to pick up that last slot? You're gunna pick a horse(eventually) who is either not on it's game,or gets a very bad trip.It is going to happen.You need to foresee the possibility,and have picked the situation where 1)your horse cares about fighting for 3rd,and 2)the other horses in the race are few in #,or in fight.This is why I didn't use the the short-field 2nd race.I think if you run a less than average race in there(any of them,)you will get beat for 3rd.On the other hand,yesterday,WAILEA GIRL ran awful........awful.....but it wasn't all about her.There are not that many situations where your horse can run awful,and get 3rd,but that was the horse yesterday that could get 3rd with her C game.Don't think about the A game.You are not gunna get it enough of the time.
