Great job Doug with Furthest Land, I hope you pounded it.

Great breeders cup Drugie ...I give anything to see the call girls you had on each arm after Life is Sweet and Futhest Land won.

Thanks guys.

Everything worked out great and I just absolutely killed them in the P3s and P4s all day long.

Vale of York's win was really big for me. A total absolute game changer because of where the race was positioned on the days card.

Betting horses profitably is as much about clever and creative betting strategy as it is about clever and creative sound handicapping.

My approach to betting the Turf Sprint (I talked about the strategy in the 1st post) turned out to be an absolute masterpiece...the difference between a very good day and a great day. It allowed me to catch Dancing in Silks in the BC Sprint on a spread with a still affordable ticket. Can't say I liked DiS much, but he did have the fields best last race Beyer - and had proved he can win without the lead.

great job all weekend. ****in killed it. the only other person that even MENTIONED Vale of York was Sniper (who also had him as his top selection.)

Dancing in Silks wasn't impossible by any means. if you ignored the morning line... it was a wide open field. he was my 4th choice behind Fatal Bullet, Capt, and Gayego. I didn't like Cal Flag at ALL, which really cost me.

Gotta Have Her would have made my day ridiculously profitable...unfortunately I played against California Flag entirely and Gotta Have Her got in just enough trouble to keep it from being interesting.

I tried to completely kick out the favorite with Vale of York, and failed. Nice job, DrugSy.

Mine too. She was my top choice in that race as well

Hey! I picked Vale of York in the BC Contest! (granted I only picked because of the Euro longshot angle and I have an ex who lives in York)

Thought for sure I was going to win the BC Contest when Vale of York won and Corageous Cat ran 2nd next out.. great job mira and RHT!

VoY was my salvation for a modest profit on the day, just because I had him on some back-up tickets. But I certainly did not crush him, or the day--congrats Drugs!

Where did you wind up playing? I was at Green Valley Ranch, which is one of the Station properties. Very comfortable.

I was a LONG day. Had to be at the book by 8am to get a good seat. Then all day horse racing. Then hopped in the car around 5:00pm and went to the Rio to watch the WSOP. Stayed there until 2:45am, when I was just semi-conscious (they finished up--down to two players--at 5:50am). Back to the hotel and sleep around 3:30am.

I am too old for this crap!

Yeah ... as cheap as I am with my cash ...it allowed me to upgrade from dates with street hookers to dates with call girls.

Super explaination on how you came up with Vale!
