Good work guys on a nice card!

I got lucky and caught that tandem finish on the #2 in the 7th. That was the good.

The bad is I ****ed up a HUGE pick 3 by betting off the wrong sheet of paper like a jerk off man. I can't believe what the **** I did.

Racing is good right now with plenty of FULL fields available by multi tracking.

Here are my bets so far today/tonight. The results are good so far (still looking at Mnr,Cby,Ind,Penn,Hol) but if you notice (Fwiw) I am playing larger field races of at LEAST 7 runners.

Whether right or wrong that has been my game plan for over 2 weeks now.
NO maidens
NO races with less than 7 betting entries
NO races where there is not at LEAST one clearly Early POSITIONALLY running horse at TODAY'S distance structure (surface difference is ok right now)

Mike,

I used RDSS today

Mike,

Here are the BL/BL pages that I used to bet from.
I just picked the top two regardless of the odds

[froggy]

Here are the rest.
When you say match up I don't really know how to do the match up.
I just look for the pace setter and see who can win or get close to the finish line in a race with those or better fractions.
I am becoming a firm believer that horses run in their comfort zone.
If they can run a better time to the second call they don't seem too if they don't have to.

For what its worth:

The moment I saw the head on shot of the start of the Belmont and Big Brown was jerking his head around fighting the jockey I knew in my heart that he was a loser.
He is used to being on the outside with lots of room around him and I felt that he felt trapped in a tight spot and was using up his energy in tension and pressure to try to get out of his predicament.
A relaxed horse can do wonders.

Watch John Henry's races and you can see a horse that doesn't mind mixing it up with the other horses.

Big Brown I think was intimidated being in close quarters

Mike,

As a post script I'd like to add that usually I put in every horse in the race before I make any eliminations.
I use Preceptor for selection of one of the last three usable pace lines not the speed rating or class rating like other folks.
I find that the program class ratings especially in turf and maiden races to be deceptive. I like to do my own and that way I can't blame any one else if I'm wrong.
After eliminating those that can't run with the projected second call time to a max of 4 tenths slower, I eliminate all balance numbers over 8 and all single digit BL scores.
