favs are winning more races as time goes on ...of all the races that I handicap so far this year the favs are at 40% and I've passed a lot of them

They are getting harder to pass up especially when they figure
and are sent out with a trainer/rider combo like Pletcher/Johnny V.

A good friend of mine always says, “ sometimes you have to take what they give you.” With a trainer/rider combo I have taken 3-2, 8-5 or 9-5.

I’ve caught my favorites Steve Assmussen/Ricardo Santana for quite a few.

Chad Brown with JJ Castellano and I Ortiz Jr. Bankroll builders if you pick the right spots.

Lezcano pulled off a couple nice wins this week at Saratoga.
