I'm grateful enough to have caught a 28 dollar horse.

Well done. I flinched on the 5 as he seemed to be fading from 3rd back. Yes you would be richer but I find that chasing too many things will only bring long term failure. Stick to what works and like you said, forget the "coulda, shoulda, woulda". At any rate, congrats.

Thank you nets. From my own data, I know that I'm best with certain kinds of races, and that in general, I should avoid claimers below 25K and all maiden claimers.

My turf success was spotty until Tim Y touted the Pizzola window which has brought me some tremendous prices, including today's ninth at Aqueduct.

TURF horses don't seem to have form cycles like on the dirt. The Pizzolla window pointed that out: use their BEST in the last 10 listed, and to substantiate that line, use their second best TPP as well.

That is true. Don't know why I talked myself out of that. Turf is definitely different form-wise. Consistent thinking on my part is something I am trying to work on, but every now and then I get stupid
