im just looking for some value for a small exacta box with john, my money will be spent at Aqueduct on Saturday, and a little keenland on friday, the only reasson i will even play my signature move-colonel john exacta box is because they are showing this race on NBC with the wood.

You actually play races because they are going to be on TV? So if it wasn't on TV, you wouldn't be playing? Wow.

I love having people like you putting money into the pari-mutuel pool....

I see no reason to rip a guy because he wants to put a couple bucks on a TV race just for a little action. Some people actually enjoy a beer or two while playing the races too, and can also beat the public every now and then.

I only recently obtained high speed internet, but don't have a dish and no HRTV or TVG. So, I,too, like it when a big race is on television, and will bet the race, even it's just $2 for the action play. I also talk up the race to friends who are casual bettors(once a year Derby types, weekend gamblers on football games, etc.) as these people have little interest in betting on obscure races that are not on tv. It's also fun to watch these races with friends, as mainly this is a solitary hobby

Absolutely nothing wrong with a $2 action play because the race is on TV.

I don't believe PG/jcs was talking about an "action" play. He can correct me if I am wrong.

Signature Move is a decent horse that tends to be a little rank.With him and Black Jack in the race,it should get Bravo a top 2.I am not gunna lie.I have no confidence in Solis getting the horse out of trouble.He seems addicted to riding that rail behind horses,and waiting for the perfect trip(getting to the outside at the top of the stretch.)He needs the field to be a little stretched out for that.A slow pace could result in a close 3rd.Salute the Sarg was ready the other day.I fully expect the same connections to be ready with Signature Move.With Black Jack not running,I think Signature would of had a big shot in this race.Fact is he is a little rank,and wants to get the lead mid-race (like he did in Louisiana.)I think Black Jack will back out (after making others run quick in the middle,) and it should come down to a knifefight between Bravo and others (for the win.)Bravo has never had a nice pace to chase.Give it to him,and you'll be very surprised what he has to show you.
