Just getting here.

Not sure if all tracks are running and who is on the turf.

All welcome.

Good luck.

GL Michel. FG/TB off the turf. Oak/CT/LP/Penn/Sam Houston all cancelled. I will be back tomorrow posting some.

 

[Michelangelo]

Thanks Jack. Just got the scratches.

Hope I get some company today. When we share perspectives I enjoy that. I know we can't do that every race.

And it's more fun when someone in the thread is winning.

 

[Jack1999]

ok MIchel sounds good. yeah Hopefully Mel/G&T jump in. or maybe someone that does not usually play. I have taken a beating here Lately. trying to refocus.

I get it Jack. I should do the same. But I'll get a change of mindset tomorrow when I go to the track.

Once I buy the $12.00 Racing Form I'm sucked in !!

Second @ 8-1. Damn I knew if one horse could beat me it was the #3. He did @ 9/2. Left an $82.00 exacta on the table by not playing a 3-6 box. Shit.

(- $24.00)

#7 La Negrita

Have the feeling that they're gonna take the #7 right to the top. If they do they won't catch him. If they don't he is still the best horse.

Well I was right about the "take him to the top" part. Problem is he never got the clear lead. Poop.

-24.00 -24.00 = -48.00

Wow. The #7 snookered me. Really didn't expect him to get a lonesome lead. He did. Speed and back class is a dangerous combo.

-48.00 -12.00 = -60.00

(- $60.00)

Betting the first timer and the two closers. Too much speed in this race.

Ha. Saez screwed me up when he went for the lead. The #3 closed like crazy to win. Saez couldn't quite hold on for second.

-60.00 -12.00 = -72.00
