Live Handicapping Friday 8/2/24

[Michelangelo]

Twinspires and NYRA are in the middle of a dispute re fees. As a result I have no Saratoga feed. I still have other tracks but I'm going to sorely miss handicapping the crowned jewel.

At least for today. Tomorrow I will be there in person. Can't wait. Hoping for good weather but that looks kinda sketchy right now. Which of course jeopardizes the turf races.

Joe, if you see this I sent you a PM this morning. If for some reason you can't access it I'll be with friends in the formed fiberglass seats in front of the wall of TVs near the Carousel. Find me. Tall. Thin. Old. Ugly. Boston accent.

Good luck today, guys.

Trying to beatIrad as an odds on favorite was probably not a good idea.

I saw that. Joe. Nice price on Irad. Should be bigger and stronger than her last in October. Blinkers. Lasix. They have her ready. I'm just always suspicious when Irad is 8-1. But it's kinda hard not to play it it being a successful angle for you.

Happy Friday guys, just sat down to play some races. I haven't had a chance to look at anything today so I'm 'capping as I go. I see Linda Rice had the higher price of two win in the 3rd and now joe's angle hits again in the 5th! Uncanny!
