6,7 in the opener. ISP down again so I have no idea of the odds,,

I mean my betting line is down

I played the same pair in the first and am still waiting for them to come home.

Maybe I'll try your "1st call maidens" angle in one of the next two races.

please it is SECOND call maidens, but NO odds on the winner of that angle here. 7 & 6

BEL 2nd: I'm going to take a shot against the 2/5 favorite and go with #6 Haynesfield. 6-1 right now with five minutes to post.

Although HALF of the 2nd call maiden crew,that one would have to improve a lot

Sorry to misquote you - but I did have the right angle in my head, just typed it out wrong for some reason. A temp of 101 probably has something to do with it. I'm having a bad reaction to a flu shot that I got the other day, probably shouldn't even be trying to handicap today, but I can't sleep so not much else I feel up to doing right now.

I looked at the second race, but not going for those odds. I looked briefly at the third, but it's tough to gauge with so many distance and surface switching going on amongst the field. If anyone, I'd go with the 3 horse.

Well, that worked out okay.

Race: 2 Win Place Show
1st 6 Haynesfield 10.60 5.70 3.00
2nd 3 Legal Consent 10.80 3.70
3rd 7 Smokin Hero 2.10
4th 4 Cat Three Approach

Nice score there David.

that is how babies IMPROVE in learning how to run

You realize how vaccinations work? You are reacting to a foreign protein by getting a mini-disease.....Take some acetomeniphen to control the fever, stay hydrated, lay down and don't bet much today

2,3 would be the 2nd call maidens in the next contest at Belmont

Thanks, clore.

BEL 3rd: #2 certainly looks good, but I'm inclined to go with #6 Courting Elaine at a price.

For one thing, #6 just won the last race. When you handicap and find a good number you stick with it. ;>)

For another thing I used to enjoy dining at Elaine's.

And from a handicapping view the horse has done nothing but improve. I'll go for the price.

Thanks for the advice. I've already started doing much of that, but the laying down part is rough because I can't get comfortable - earlier it was worse, I was going from chills to fever, but now I am just warm. I've had a water bottle right next to me for the past 24 hours.

I really didn't plan on much wagering action today - yesterday I abstained completely. Probably my only other wager will be on the 2 horse in the sixth race today.

Is that the joint in NYC where Woody Allen used to play clarinet? I lived in NYC all my life, but have never managed to get there.

Didn't see this one coming.

BEL Race: 3 Win Place Show
1st 7 Great Thought 20.80 10.00 5.50
2nd 3 With Flying Colors 4.80 3.60
3rd 2 Equally 2.70
4th 6 Courting Elaine

I used to live on the corner of 61st and 2nd. It was a short cab ride up to Elaine's. A bunch of my lawyer friends ate there almost every night. It was their hangout and social hub.

I used to be friends with Louise Lasser, Woody Allen's wife at the time. She was in Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman if you remember that old TV show. I'd see her there quite a bit.

I've never seen Woody Allen in the flesh though.

Dirty waxy buildup was her passion on that show

One longshot for the road.

LRL 8th: #2 Norjac at 10-1

Actually, I remember Louise Lasser from before Mary Hartman. She had that hilarious bit with Woody in the film BANANAS where they are interviewed on their honeymoon night by Howard Cossell.

She was also a housewife in a commercial for Nyquil or some similar product where at the end of the spot she's told she's a wonderful wife and she responds "Yeah, I know."

I met her briefly at a TV Programming convention when they were trying (unsuccessfully) to bring Mary Hartman back to TV in the mid-80s. She seemed like a very sincere person, and I've met enough celebrities to tell the difference.

2,7 6th

I had said earlier in this thread that I was waiting for the 2 horse in the sixth race. Congrats to you on that one, $9.90 was more than I expected.

I think now that I'll try to take a nap, well, after I run across the street to get a few necessities. Got a nor'easter coming here and I don't want to be out of milk and juice.

For the record, I've come up with the 6 and the 5 in the seventh race.

In the eighth, I have the 4 and the 1.

REST


Slim pickins in Toronto today although formful...The best racing is in the East,,,

Clore, here's another tidbit, Louise is an excellent poker player.

I Got lucky at LRL.
