Why can't they ever give the chalk a crappy ride?

Just what I need, rain right in the middle of a pk5.

Wow, I can't catch. A break, the 6 breaks bad and bothers the 7 who does not get to use his speed and the Jacobson walks. :wf

Wonderful Ride by ALvarado. How the **** can you put that horse so far back at Saratoga ?

Keep an eye on the 7 in the 6th, had some trouble and galloped out past the field.

This really isn't any fun anymore.

Jim, I loved that horse. I had a note from his last turf run to wait until they cut this horse back to a sprint on turf and to catch this horse at a huge price. Look at his turf start two back, it was the clue to this run.

I didn't have time to post it, but splitting a pk4 that pmac punched where we are live for $1 to the 2,8 and 3,4 in the last two legs. Going to cover a bit since I think the 5 is a bit of a danger here and the 2 could be a live longshot closing in the last.

[ScottJ]

The eighth race saw some incredibly poor rides including Taylor Rice again showing that she only understands how to stay attached to the rail.

Joel Rosario altered course three times from the top of the lane (driving to the inside, pushing in the middle, and then pulling to the six path in the lane).

Junior Alvarado, fresh off the last to first on Rumble Doll in the seventh, did his usual "hung three wide going nowhere fast" dance.

With all of the garbage rides, Irad Ortiz again puts everyone to shame with a solid win on class rising Invading Humor.

Taylor Rice should have understood that there was no pace on paper and she had the post to take the spot that Irad wisely did there.

[ScottJ]

Taylor Rice should have understood that there was no pace on paper and she had the post to take the spot that Irad wisely did there.Agreed. I will never understand how the rider of a mid-pack to late closer can put so much traffic between their mount and the front while riding the rail. At very least, secure the pocket heading into the turn and take your chances against the pace (which turned out to be soft) from the half-mile pole to home.

[pointman]

Spa 9

I am hoping the 2 needed that last race off the long layoff, should get a very good mid-pack trip here with the 3, 5 and 11 likely to bang heads up front.

Way to grind it out. Too bad we didn't get lucky on the pk4. Quite a game...

[pointman]

Very nice Nick!!!

Thanks guys! Pat, I am sorry we couldn't get that pk4 home, but a big pk4 or pk5 is awaiting us at this meet. We have flirted with a few big ones only to go 4 of 5 or 3 of 4, but it will hit sooner or late. There are more of those gems out there.

It is a relief to have nailed that after a week of absolutely horrendous opinions, even worse execution when I did have a decent opinion, and doubting my handicapping. Crazy how fast you can make it up at a meet like the Spa! Went from quite a bit down for the meet to up on one cash.

Hope others got a piece of that too!

[herkhorse]

hey! nice job pointman!! congrats!

Oh I am SO not surprised here!

You are a legend. :tro:

Thanks, Coach, MM!!

You are a legend. :tro:

Please don't encourage him.

Enough with the victory lap... Don't you have a late pick 4 to move on to? :D

Get cracking Mr. 11:45 tee time. While you are out inebriated in your knickers I will try to bring us home a big pk 5 score.

I warned you that horse was live. How dare you let meetings interrupt the racing at the Spa.

C'mon... You copied Andy's picks in your state of handicapping self loathing.

You did warn me. I will give you that.

Using my picks, without any credit, and not getting called out for it, is his MO.

I'm just glad he's watching and betting.

You know the people at timeform very well. I am more than happy to allow them to retrieve my note on Rumble Doll from 4/27/14 which is why I bet the horse. I already know they can do it since I had a problem shortly after they came out with the software where they were excellent in retrieving my notes from me.

I sure that Pat will also be more than happy to share the email I sent him well before the race regarding the note I had on Rumble Doll and that I was glad that he had used on the pk4 tickets he had punched since I didn't have time to share my opinions with him on the late pk4 before he could punch tickets before he went to a meeting.

I am very surprised you would say that, I really do respect your opinion but I am really puzzled at what you are accusing me of here. I don't play your picks and take credit for it, I handicap races and come to my own opinions. Though maybe I should be flattered that you are paying attention to me.
