Patrick,

I did not look at either of the races you posted. All I did is look at what you posted and here is what I observed.

2nd race
#3 - OFF 114 days, throw it out
#4 - if all you could find was a "turf" line, throw it out
#7 - if all you could find was a sprint line, throw it out
This leaves you with 6,1,2,5
The #2 went off @ 3/5. The race is a pass.

As I posted the other day, horses that go off at less than even money win a little more than 52%. Do you really want to be in a race against an odds on horse? Maybe there is a better race somewhere?

5th race
#10 - OFF 154 days, throw it out
This leaves the winner (#6) in your top 2

Horses OFF more than 90 days win a very, very small % of the time.
Are you looking to get struck by lightning, or
do you want to win more races?

Like I said, I didn't look at these two races, so I can't say that your contender selection or line selection was good or bad.

All I know from what I see here is, following a couple of easy steps, you should have passed the second and played the 5th and got a $13.80 winner.

What more do you want out of life?
