Agreed. That was some atrocious video. No numbers and the camera was a long way off.

Basically couldn't see where each horse was, so had to rely on Collmus to tell me what was happening.

Trying to hit four exactas, but like with Del Mar, got the winner but not the horse underneath.

Re: Saratoga 2018

BP could use a price shot in the upcoming second race.

I'll root for #2 Wicked Waters and #3 Caralicious.

Re: Saratoga 2018

Always the risk of singling first timers.... I did wish I found a way to put my 2nd selection in that race in there...great price on the 6... just not a big fan of Santana.

Re: Saratoga 2018

five races

all five I had the correct horse on top and did not have the second place finisher (the wager they rejected would've been my first exacta win of the day, I was trying to do 4-7, the winning combo. Naturally my luck).

time to throw in the towel

$2 exacta (3-1) paid $124.50 in today's sixth race at Saratoga.

Nicely done, BP.

Re: Saratoga 2018

Not getting too involved until tomorrow. I see they list Daddy is a Legend at 9/5 for the Lake George today. I will be shocked if she is over even money. She probably should be no higher than 1-1.

Never in much doubt.

Nicely done, Valuist.

Daddy Is A Legend wins by two lengths at odds of 1.65 to the dollar.

A $5.30 return for every two dollars invested on a horse Valuist claimed "should be no higher than even-money."

2nd race- trying to beat the chad brown fts.. like the 4 and 9. Weaver always has first timers ready and the 4 has Ortiz with Mott on the grass with a nice recent workout. Should be a nice price too..

3rd race- awesome slew is obviously the class of the race, but I think the pace is going to be a little too slow for him to close. I’m on the #7... should be on or near the lead on a slow pace.. and I think he’ll actually like 7 furlongs given how great he looked in extending his lead at 6.5 in December. Won’t get too much pressure up front either.. the 2 and the 5 will be with him, but neither are that fast for this distance.

Re: Saratoga 2018

4th race- my gut says windjammer will be able to hold on today... it all matters how much will irad push shamrock babe? If I’m looking elsewhere, I think the 4 could win at a price coming form behind. In his first start in the states, he had a bad trip and stumbled out of the gate, and only finished 7 behind in a ridiculously slow race :)50 1/2 in a mile race)..definitelygonna throw him in the exotics and should get a good price.

Race 5- hate this race.. kind of at a loss, so I will go with a price horse... #5 Shanghai glory. Irad at double digits at Saratoga... Englehart is a winning trainer on 2nd after claim (+0.62) and turf to dirt (+0.29).. the pace setup is a mess too as there are no closers

Re: Saratoga 2018

No Dozing getting up over the 5 and 3 in the 3rd race cost me a big pick 5, and the pick 4. That one hurt as the 5 ran a hell of a race

One of the most difficult aspects of being a horseplayer is when your selection runs well and yet still loses.
