hmmm, may pass as 1-6 scratched

Somewhere amongst :2: :3: :5: is the winner and maiden graduate of the opener
IF the nine doesn't come from the clouds

Confusing? speed will take it methinks

i wonder why the 5 is being bet down so much? r1 pha

Tampa Double. Very ugly races.

Race 1. 3.7.4
Race 2. 2.5

Bob

i'll take 4-1:cool:

btw speed did it

look at 2nd race back...better factions and power move

tam 1st...#1 win

mike

Whenever there are more than three logicals it is time to pass

THAT race, a type that is becoming all too common, is all about survival not running ability: Get out into a good position early and then HANG ON. No stamina in the breed and it is sad

phil 2nd #7

the 6 looks hard to beat in the 2nd @ pha. maybe 2-5--

Logic says :6: :7: in Philly 2nd but so far, the odds board says look elsewhere

did you hit this one bob?
7-3 $17+ ex

ps i have a cat named bob.(sorry)

i agree

With the software we have, there are many gold mines in UGLY races. I have made bundles on races everyone else abandoned.....There is money to be made in many of them as the crowd has no clue like we have.

Tampa
 

just doubles going verge. Don't be sorry, they even made a movie about me. What about Bob? lol lol

Bob

Pick 3 for Tampa $1.00

Race 2. 2.5
Race 3. 9.7.2
Race 4 11.6.5

Three here the elder statesmen is JEFF
Teenager (relatively in cat years) MOCHA
baby - Minnie who is about to be spayed this weekend

HOLY CAT AND JAMMERS i agree again!

cool i have 4 more. had 7 but had to put 2 down

boy the 6 was unbeatable.

r3 @ pha looks like 3 @4/5 should win even 5-6 will be short.

With cheap speed, once a horse clears the early pressure, it is usually over. At Philly, it usually takes about 3 or 4 units of late to overcome every one unit of energy early. MY KIND OF PLACE

I look at races simply. What do the pressure horses do before the opportunists (those close at the second call) crank it up. The front group have a TREMENDOUS advantage on dirt, Always have, always will.

Thanks again to Huey as I just re-read his great little book again over the weekend in between fighting the sun and shadow, 6 f stop exposure difference at the finish line at Fraser Downs Harness races. Thak goodness for neutral density filters.

:6: :3: hardly a surprise in the baby race :5: closed strongly last out on an easy pace

One two three but then everyone KNEW THAT

pass i'll leave maybe $8 on the table

Late scratches: You would be surprised at how many times it is the rider and not the vet that points out problems that require late scratches. I guess it is to their advantage in heading off potential accidents that could be disastrous to their income.

I have learned a ton about equine medicine from our gate vets. Both are ladies who tolerate my incessant questioning and are good sports with the raucous gate crew.

Tim that was a great book. IMO the best written on pace. Sorry i do not have my copy anymore. Was that The Race is Pace. Wondering if i can find that anywhere?

Bob

the 3rd ran just like the top 3 5-6-3:eek:

Right here

CAN the one or two get far out in front enough to be out of range of the closing four? Wiil wait to see if it is a bet

R4 pha. #6 60-1 ml. what is this runner doing in this race
maybe 2-3. 1-4 a bit short.

Ever been on the back side when the trackman's office is wheeling and dealing?

Often talk is like this: "if you run today to help me fill this race, I will open the conditions of that allowance race Saturday for you good filly."

OR
the Jimenez family does NOT know what the heck they are doing

SPEED over stamina but No money to either choice

A lot is going to go with the SIX here in the maiden 7 furlong contest

Furlong from the contraction of "furrow" (plowed field) and a specified distance (long)
The furlong, short for "furrow-long," is said to have been the distance a horse could pull a plow before having to rest. Its length was a matter of confusion for quite a spell, but by the 16th century folks generally agreed that it consisted of 40 rods of 16-1/2 feet each, or 660 feet in all-- and of course eight furlongs was 5,280 feet.

also dutrows FTS 4-9. i like 1-3

What happened to the rider? RIDERS plural

if no DQ's w/ the 3 i'll take the 9/2

the 3 could be DQ'd as it cut off the 1 i think watching the replay:eek:

the 9 just fell off. but the 1

its offical. 3-2-4-8- i was watching on the puter feed and it wasn't real clear.

wow an 80/1 shot almot hit the first in Phoenix

:5: :7: and the late late late closing :1: at Philly
