P6-FEST: Aqueduct

[Kasept]

Andy Serling (DT's own 'blackthroatedwind') utilized his Tuesday spot on ATRAB to help us profile the Big A's own modest carryover, a $32,000 satchel o' loot going into Wednesday.

Below is my own view of the racecard with a suggestion for the tricky six pack combining Andy and my views...


SELECTIONS -- Aqueduct P6 (R4-9) Superfecta races indicated by race number in red..

Let it be known that I am ashamed to be associated with any picks that place the Sciacca entry first in the 7th race.

Is it because he eats the cobbler and I don't?

Your refusal to eat the cobbler continues to be a bane on my existence.

To Sciacca's credit, he eats EVERYTHING.. In addition to 'Big G', you also trail Chuck Simon, John Parisella, Pat Kelly, Steve Alday and Jerry Brown as a quality 'nosher'... Like you however, Bobby Frankel and your man Nick eschew the cobbler.. They will only take fresh fruit.

But in deference to your gustatorial preferences, I have placed the Yiddishy 'Takeh' on top in the 7th race...

Given the company, Pat and Chuck may be switching to the other team next year.

it is because he BRINGS the cobbler and you don't:p

Got hit, for $36K. I think i had two winners in all of my tickets. Good thing i wasn't there to waste more money than my pick 6 debacle.

[blackthroatedwind]

Pretty amazing considering the parlay was over $70K.

I could never have hit it. Even with a couple seconds in the first two legs I would never have used the winner of the feature.

It was bizarre, not amazing. Before the race went off they showed the payouts. Both the 2 and the 9 were alive for one ticket holder at 108 grand. Stunningly the 7 was alive for 36 grand, or three tickets.
I don't mean to sound conspiracy minded, but someone really needs to look at those tickets.
This is just another in a long line of strange pik-6 payouts since summertime.
Obviously one ticket most likely was alive with all three of those horses, I'd bet that one guy had the 2,7,9 on his ticket. But that means that two tickets were most likely sold with the 7 singled.
This is very hard for me to believe, exteremly hard. I had her as my third selection in the race, and in doing surgery on the ticket lopped off the 7 and killed the patient(never would have had the first leg winner, in a race that set up and was run every strangely, anyone have any idea what Kent D was doing on the 1 horse?). Its not at all surprising to me that the 7 horse won, but is shocking to me that two guys would have her singled on a ticket with all the other winners. I really would like to see this matter looked at.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

YESH only reason to like that one is coa...lol..and the scr of the 1 at the gate busted out many as they got stuck with the ptf 10...he ran well but i wouldent want him twice...

Well she was one of the three I thought could win, I have no problem with her winning.
I do find it exteremely hard to believe that not one, but two folks went deep enough and spent enough cash to have the other winners and be alive but spent all that cash and singled the 7 in the last. No way Jose, this is not Kosher and Steve and I have been talking about the strange pik-6 payouts since summertime.
The parlay was 70 grand, and maybe you could expect one guy to have it, thats about right. But two tickets at least with the horse singled? I'm having a hard time buying that, a very hard time.
This needs to be looked into and an explanation given. Perhaps its just a coiincidence or maybe someone playing a small ticket getting lucky, but this does not sound legit to me.

I thought the same thing. quite odd.

How many tickets were live to the 8?

[oracle80]

How many tickets were live to the 8?

None were, and that also is very strange.

[philcski]

None were, and that also is very strange.

hmmm... and the 8 was clearly best over the 7 in their last, with no real excuses for either. that's even more odd.

i didn't see any of the races yesterday but i know my pick 6 ticket was so far off it didn't make any sense...
