Cakes: I do not play pick sixes. I posted that particular pick four at letitride.com USA forum under the selections thread. The case I made for Five Star Dawn was quite strong.

Stud: Many many riders have had substance abuse issues... not many have won over 5,000 races. Thanks for plugging me, although I wish you would put 2006 in there somewhere. Years like that are hard to duplicate. BBB

Default CD Sunday

I can confirm that Bellsbendboy did in fact have the Pick 4 posted and did make a strong case for the single in the nightcap on Sunday at CD....
That is a fact and can not be disputed.

As far as the other stuff..... everyone i guess is entitled to an opinion.

Well, if he got it for $2, it paid off a whopping $387. That still leaves him "several thousand" dollars left to make by the end of the month. Nobody disputes that he can hit a pick-4 from time to time. People tend to dispute the fact that a two-or-three-times-a-week pick-4 player, at $36 per ticket "regularly" brings home several thousands of dollars each month.

Even a tool in a multi-colored construction paper house can catch a break every now and then. $387 down, several thousand to go.

yeah I saw it as well and can confirm that he did single that horse and as a result had a winning pick4 play that paid out something like $195 for $1. after reading all the hoopla about his pick4 prowess, I have been following his plays and frankly this is the first winning ticket i've seen.

"great success"

I can't resist to review this again,

if you assume that the 11 signers were the only winners, it would imply that on $36 plays he hits 22% of them and that they averaged a payout of $2,909 for $1, in order to yield $32,000.

If the story is that there were other smaller tickets that hit for less than $600 and therefore not signers, then you have to accept that the hit rate is even higher than 22%.

either way its laughable on its face.

Guidry was so coked up in the 80's and early 90's he used to disappear for days at a time. He was never better than average and, in many stretches, so awful and unreliable he couldn't get rides from good stables.

How's that "fixed" race investigation going?

And sorry, it wasn't a plug.

Going? I believe he opened and closed it in a single post, peppered with impeccable and impenetrable logic.

Shaved the moustache, grew it back again, and shaved it. At least last time I saw him. Super nice guy and a good rider.

I still don't understand that why every time BBB posts, everyone starts to act like crazy monkeys. Is he the monkey king or something and you are all happy to see him?

so you buy into the whole "i turned $1,800 into $32,000 in 2006 by playing $36 pick4 tickets"?

on other forums he's referred to this place as being a home to novices, and not for real cappers like him.

that's for starters, i won't go into New Years Eve buzzergate.

My most memorable was on Davey's Cutlass in an Allowance race at AP. I was like 17 and it was my first $100 wager on a horse and I was dead lead at the final turn and he shot up the rail to win at 8/5. IT WAS GREAT!!!
