I played 4 races at Saratoga today, betting two horses per race.

I bungled the first and sixth races but the ninth race got almost all spent to that part of the day back into my pocket when Lady Joanne won the feature at an $11.00 mutuel.

Then the tenth race gave me a $7.90 winner and the second half of a daily double - something I don't normally play as it's hard to find two playable races in a row. The double paid $51.50.

All totalled, I spent $48.00 and saw a return of $98.75.

The program is relatively easy to use, I was using perceptor scores to select pace lines in most cases, but sometimes used my own judgment relative to distance, recency, track surface or tandems.

I realize that there is much to learn yet, but I have no issues with how the program is laid out graphically and certainly not with its results. I'll take two dollars back for every dollar wagered and be quite happy. As I had expected, the ease of inputting data left me more time and a better frame of mind in which to handicap.

You really deserve to give yourself an "attaboy" for this Ted.
