Thank you

To you all,
I had so much fun posting the feature race of the day from Del Mar.
I did really well,
Mitch and Tim, you nailed it just like so many of your selections
What I wanted to do was pick races that were part of the late pick 4
I played many pick 4's last summer and fall, It all started when Ted and I played one together at pace and cap day at Del Mar I hit my ticket and won $616 from a $92 ticket.
I was hooked, I ended the meet hitting a few nice ones but always seemed to be losing one of the races of the 4, Then in the fall I started playing pick 4's every day from Parx, This was a little better for me I hit a few real nice ones. I think the best was for over $900 I also did well in the Paceadvantage Pick 4 contest.
I ended up though losing money because the parx pick 4's often paid at are less than my ticket cost, and I am human and made sloppy mistakes.
The problem with Parx pick 4's at that time of year is there are no turf races
and the better horses either are rested or go to Gulfstream, Oaklawn or NY
So the ones who stay at parx are the pretty much the established bread and butter claimers and starters

I knew the big tickets were from Del Mar . But I had to learn how to handicap
all types of races and especially 2-year-olds and turf sprints.

There was a period when some folks were posting races here at Pace and Cap, I wanted to post races with 4 things
1 The morning line favorite was beatable
2. Of the top 3-morning line horses, two of them had to be over 3.5/1
3. I wanted to have a wide variety of races
4. I wanted the race to be late in the day but not late at night ( sorry except Friday)Because I wanted people who had to work during the day to be able to look in and participate.

I decided not to post the PP's because I don't like comments from the peanut gallery, Some people only jump in when they get free data and the winner has already been posted. I figured if your really interested in learning and winning you will invest the money for the data,

It's only fair to the people with RDSS subscriptions and data plans,
or who get there data from other sources, They use the methodology and that is important to me.


The feature race of the day from Del Mar will be a good learning tool.
I will be very happy to review each and every race if I am asked.
I am going to ask Ted permission If I can place all 36 races in a single sub forum as a learning tool. Your input and questions will be very welcome

Thanks to all who participated with me, I had a blast, I hope I brightened your days with some of my tunes!

I had a nice long talk with Ted at Saratoga,
Doc told me to SMILE !!!!!!
It's not supposed to be so hard and depressing

THANK YOU !!!!!!
Bill
