Here's everybody, sorted by the quickest first fraction:

This is how they project at the 4F marker:

Attachment 24519

Ideally, I like to get it down to five horses if I haven't already done so. Here the #2 is an easy tossout. I'll live with looking at the remaining six contenders.

Attachment 24520

Based on the Sartin TPR guidelines everyone within 5 points of the top TPR is a win contender (there are exceptions, but I won't go into that here).

Here are the rankings:

Attachment 24521

Certainly #7 Cats Zip looks like a pretty good play at 6-1 morning line odds.

#1a, #3 and #4 are the ones I'd consider for a second win bet.

Feel free to jump in. Contrasting opinions welcome. :>)

PS-You don't have to use old software. RDSS, matchup or plain old fashioned handicapping are fine.

Odds at two minutes to post:

I bet #7 and #4 to win.

To me that was the obvious play.

Didn't win, but I'm okay with that.

I remember Dr. Frank Wallace saying about poker, "Every hand well played is a victory, regardless of the outcome."

As far as I'm concerned I played properly.

Ended on a happy note hitting the last race at MNR. Had the win & place and the exacta.

Attachment 24525

Guska's Gold had a 5 point TPR advantage. Not to toot my own horn, but to mention the win and place...whenever the top TPR has a 5 point advantage it generally works out to bet him to win and place rather than betting a second horse to win.

Here the #5 paid $18, but if it went off at 4-1 with a 5 point advantage I'd still bet him to win and place as opposed to a second win bet.

Something for you to consider at least.

David,

Nice way of showing how you did the race and nice hit in the 9th.
