Live Handicapping Thursday the Fourth of July 2024

[Michelangelo]

Happy Independence Day.

This country was founded on the principle that we the citizens would have more freedom than any organized society that preceded us. Most of us, often including me, take our freedom for granted. We shouldn't.

And today I have the freedom to handicap horses!!!

Hope some of you will join in between burgers and dogs.

Good luck.

Well said M.

You actually at Aqueduct today, boa?

Leaning towards going up to my local simulcast casino on Saturday.

No M, I live in Chicagoland.

I have an OTB/Sportbook a mile and half down the road that I often ride my bike too.

However, planning a trip to AC in late October or early November via I-80 , would love to meet up with you then bro.

 

[boa12]

We can team up to WIN a P6.

 

[Michelangelo]

Not AC for me, boa. But you can get a free beer if you show up at Saratoga on 8/3. Can't wait for my annual trip to mecca. Hoping/expecting to be back for the Labor Day weekend as well. Depends on my buddies.

Will see if I can get away, i never refuse a free beer, sets an ugly precedent.

LOL since 1968 to present day.

Last time i was at the Spa, had to drive 30 miles to find a room so I could afford to be able to eat, drink and wager too.

Yep one week from today, I live 25 minutes south of the best racetrack in America

I wished I lived near a track like the SPA. How many times a year do you visit there Joe?

Yea, if you don't bring a pocket full of dough ray me Saratoga is a good place to keep away from. It's definitely pricey up there. And it got worse last year. Rooms just about doubled in price. And there are no cheap ones. But I look at it as my vacation. I expect to get fleeced! I don't let it bother me. And I step up my betting amounts. If things fall right, like last year. the track pays for the whole damned thing. Getting lucky always helps!

Boa, good luck today, man. Maybe you already know the thread expectations. It is that we keep a running record of our gains / losses. So good luck. Let your virgin trip in the "Live Handicapping" thread be a winning one.

 

[Jack1999]

Lucky bastard!!!

Hey Michel how far a drive is the SPA from your spot?
