Saratoga July 28th

[Cerveza]

I haven't seen the changes yet, but here's what I capped last night.

Race 1
The two closers that catch my eye here are GOLDEN COMMANDER (who gets Edgar) and NICK THE VEST. I am also drawn to EMOTRIN, a gelding that has had very little racing luck in his short career but could be in a nice situation today. I love the Schosberg/Luzzi combination.
The bet: $10 WP #3 $5 ex box 6/3,8

Race 2
Edgar has another good one in the 2nd - could he sweep the early double? He's the speed of the speed and should wire 'em.
The bet: $15 WP #4

Race 3
Can't see them getting by GAMING here.
The bet: $10 exacta 6/2,5

Race 4
My pick of the day today is I'M A GOER. I like Favorite Trick as a turf sire and Goer showed signs of ability in his turf debut at Belmont. He's trained well for the trip up north and should be a decent price.
The bet: $25 WPS #7

Race 5
Gotta love the works for SAPODILLA and Biancone is money when debuting fillies MSW.
The bet: $15 WP #4

Race 6
Tons of speed signed up here. One that doesn't necessarily need the lead is COOL LUKE. Will need his best effort but appears to be in form.
The bet: $15 WPS #5

Race 7
QUIET RULER is probably in over his head here, but I can't ignore the horse for course when he'll go off at nearly 20-1.
The bet: $10 WPS #3

Raining here, I will be playing the horses with you and playing some poker at party. Good luck

 

[Matt24]

On the first race, the exacta box, is that 2 exacta boxes? That always confuses me.

 

[Matt24]

the sun just came out of nowhere, so might not make it through the whole card. Here is to some big winners early

 

[Cerveza]

Matt -
If I bet an exacta box 6/2,5 then it means a 2-6 box and a 5-6 box. If I play a box 2-5-6 then it means 2-5, 2-6, and 5-6 each boxed. Does that help?

 

[Cerveza]

Is this the kind of day it's going to be? My horses come in 1st, 3rd, and 4th, and I don't cash a single ticket. Geez...

 

[Cerveza]

yup, this is one of those days - in the 2nd I lead until the final strides and get 3rd. Where did I put my Tylenol?

 

[Matt24]

thought we had the 2nd race

 

[Matt24]

yeah my dumbass didnt even get the 2nd race in, didnt confirm it. worked out well though. tryign to play two party poker tables

 

[Matt24]

Nice job in the 3rd

 

[Matt24]

Made some money wiht Cool Luke, I passed on Sapo cuz the odds came way down. Thought we might get more to place and show with the even money fav finishing out.

 

[Matt24]

yeah that helps, that is what i thought, but wanted to make sure. THanks

 

[Matt24]

nice hit with Quiet Ruler. I wasnt on it as I went to play a quick 9. I saw it at 3-1, then up to 8-1 with 20 mtp, did it get back to 20-1? Later
