I came up with the 7 horse right away with him being on top on most screens: lpp, total energy, segment screen and bl/bl. The second horse to bet was a choice between the 2 and the 5. I went with the 5 because it had the best hidden energy and was second best on the segment screen with a positive pattern. So of course, the 2 won with the 5 second.

I chose the two horses I did because both showed well on all the screens. The 6 was lower morning line odds so I put 60 on him and 40 on the other horse. The 1 horse won and paid $9.80. He was a sure winner at the 1/8th post but scared us by bearing out badly towards the finish line. But it all worked out as the entire field was barely able to stand up from exhaustion. The 5 came on late and split my two horses.

I felt very strongly that the #1 horse would run a very strong race. He had everything that I look for in a bet. I then proceded to look for a second horse. I chose the 5 because he was second on the segment screen and he had an even ranking in both early and late. Unfortunately, the third horse on the segment screen won the race and my horses finished second and third. If I had been able to bet the horse closer to post time, I probably would have backed up the 1 horse and collected $7.20 for place. Oh well.

I thought that this race was relatively easy to figure out. The 3 looked like a standout. The only major surprise was getting $6.30.

Hello Charlie

I'm sorry but I can not give you a win in this race
You posted Saratoga race 9
I would have notified you but there was no way I could know you wanted race 8
because I didn't have a screen shot.

I'm sorry but it if you meant race 9 It would be a loss as race 9 came in
16-6
So even if you meant race 8 I have your bet as a miss for not posted correctly
Im sorry I try to tell folks ahead of time but I didn't know

Thank you for the race results and another excellent post race review
I hope you had race 8 in real betting

Bill

Oh well that is what happens when one doesn't take the time to proofread. However, both horses were scratched so does that count as a non race? I did have it in real life. In fact, I gave out the late double in the Saratoga Special.
