Not getting involved in this but sorry for Masterful Miss who I think maybe had a little chat with Chocolate Lava before her race.....

Dead last, Sport...Keep up the fine work, and when you jump into the volcano, make sure some one is there to tape it and put it up on YouTube for us...

Jim, Everyone was overpaying for Orientate's back then...Now his offspring barely bring his advertised stud fee. Most of them are gone from the track by 4 as I'm sure you know they're not the soundest lot in the bunch....

A 4yo Orientate with just 14 career starts??!! Red Flag City...It is just refreshing to meet one of the guys who is fueling the pools for us

Gotta hand it to you bro... Back to back win picks that BOTH finish dead last. They ought to give you a consolation DD for something for that....
You definately keep it amusing

and i guess by this reasoning Chocolate Lava would also outclass Zenyatta because she sold for $400K while Zenyatta was a discount $50K horse.

Exactly...Never realized how easy this game was to figure out...:$: :zz: :$:

I don't like sharks the most
 

I'll let ya'll vote, do I take the Mount Kilauea kite string bungy jump or swim with the Pacific great white sharks? If I get my choice, can I borrow two dollars for a cheap boat ride?

Dead last twice today. Tried to beat the chalk, didn't happen. Oh well, the sun will rise tomorrow. Not the least discouraged. Picked 9 races so far, that equals a full card. It's not the first time I've lost to a full card. Four days deep and I'm behind, but the way I figure, I've got (whichever comes first) 26 more days left in a full month play to get back up, or go down $1000 in the bank first.

RECAP>
Del Mar Race 2- It is now believed that horse dyslexia is contageous. After being sneezed on by Bahama Mama in the paddock, Chocolate Lava took a right in the first turn and was finally roped and tied after running wild and harassing the women down on the Sunset Strip. Ralston Purina LLC has offered Mona Talla a bid of $40 to salvage the beligerent three legged $400,000 cart mule at the Del Mar Dud Sale.

Del Mar Race 3- In The Poconos fired backwards out of the gate and was last seen hitchhiking east out of LA on I-40 wearing a "Pennsylvania or Bust" sign around his neck.

Today's wagers: $80, return $0.
Total called wagers to date: $288 bet, return $78.

Derby Trail WPS record: 9 starts, 1-1-4. Mythical $2 Win on each= $18 bet, return $5.20.

Involved in what?
 

I can't tell you about what I'm not involved in either Miss storm Cat, For the 1st time in all my message board days, I have used the IGNORE command (two days ago), and I threw the key in the pig's trough.

Delvis reminds me of why I make my dogs stay outside.

Dr. swineSmeller

Damned right it will.

Keep posting your picks. Kilauea isn't going anywhere so don't be in such a rush to go bungee jumping.

Posted before I saw this.....

I've never used the ignore feature, although I've been tempted at times. :D

No apologies necessary

At least Masterful took off frontwards out of the gate, navigated the first turn, and crossed the finish line. That is tons better than I can say for my 2 ghost plays today!

Dr. SwineSmeller

Rare is the occasion when I am rendered speechless....but......

Go Baby Go!!
 

Nope Jim, I'm with you on Zenyatta 110%. She is the grizzly bear they all will try to beat on Breeder's Cup Day. When they're fast they're fast.

I've taken two early wagers out for the Breeders' Cup. Zenyatta and Casino Drive. I got 10/1 on Casino for the Classic the day after he scratched from the Belmont Stakes. Of course if he/she fails to go to post I still lose.

I'll say it straight up. I think Casino smokes the Classic field, no matter who is in.

Here is why, as sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. (Just like Dilemma). Notice the crowd as they gaze at the million dollar yearling all grown up as he dances for them in the paddock and prepares to leave Mint Lane in his dust in this years Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont. (I framed this pic for my living room wall). Shades of his grandpa, Secretariat>

....Aaaand the hits just keep a comin'... I agree w/ MMSC - please keep this thread going, I may have no need for cable TV :D

OUT - Analysis, DRF, TG

IN - original sale price, pedigreequery.com, paddock horsey pictures

I'm starting to get it... :eek:

No such Freeway in LA:p

ahh yes! Sales Tags,Casino Drive! Here's a classic ESPN thread -

You Have No Heart Geeker
 

If you were a tired horse from way up in the Poconos trying to get back home after you'd just rode 4000 miles in hot trailer with a nose hole from Pennsylvania to California only to have dirt clods for dinner, you'd be a little disoriented too when you first hit the road trying to figure out which way was east. Don't blame the horse for being lost.

Dr. SwineSmeller

Casino Drive can outrun an Indy car
 

[quote=otisotisotis]ahh yes! Sales Tags,Casino Drive! Here's a classic ESPN thread -

Howdy Otisx3. Proof positive right there that I am a rabid Casino Drive fan. I admit it. It's the sport of kings fan in me. Casino is my main boy! It has nothing to do with a $100 bet. It's different in the Classic. Winner is world champ. There is no bigger rush to a sports fan than to hear the final gun fire and see your home team crowned champs. For thoroughbred fans, that's the Classic baby!!

[quote=ArlJim78]she will always be a $400K purchase no matter how many times she races or how poorly. it has no relation to her current form relative to the rest of the field today. this $400K baby took nine tries to break her maiden and had to ship out to Fairplex to get it done.

So far Jim, I've made my decision to make a play 3 of 9 times because of purchase price. And it is obvious when I am doing so.
Those three horses have went 1-0-1, for -.80 cents on three $2 win bets. I'll recap the purchase price play totals when I resign from the thread in 26 more days. Then will come final judgement.

[quote=Dr.SwineSmeller]the final judgement is already in, its a dumb idea to ignore on-track performace in favor of the sales price comparison.

Tick tock
 

[quote=ArlJim78]Time will write the book Jim.

Best of luck at the windows.

8/12/08 Coast to Coast at Deleware Park
 

8/12/08 Coast To Coast with Dr. SwineSmeller
Deleware Park Race 5, post 2:33 Eastern time.

Jungle Cat is going to have to show me he can't race for me to believe it. Garnering no respect in his first out at 12/1 on the morning line doesn't deter my cat curiousity. I'm gambling on pedigree here. With calculator in hand, I have to begin to work my bank at this point to catch a value bet to get back in the game. Jungle Cat fits the value bill. Jungle Cat's two grandsires are Seattle Slew and Storm Cat. His sire, Forrest Cat, stands stud for a $35,000 fee at Brookdale Farm in Kentucky. But here is #6 Jungle Cat opening at a $25,000 claiming tag. It just doesn't fit.

Jockey J A Bracho gets only this one mount today. He's got one shot to put dinner on the table and his baby needs new shoes.

If Jungle Cat will get up for me today at 12/1, I'll be doing the jungle boogie with a plus side bankroll tonight. I'll play Jungle Cat for $26 WIN. Go Baby Go!!

Uh...OK..but there still isn't an I-40 east/west/north or south out of LA............it's a game of creditability...and it would appear you are having some difficulty in this area.

Geeker - He's never let silly things like facts cloud his judgement.... He only goes by pedigree and pictures, yet in this race Graham Motion has a colt entered that's an Elusive Quality out of a Boundary mare, which actually has a chance to hit the board, if not win at a pretty square price of 6-1 m/l.
Broke mdn last out by 7 and 3/4ths for 20k, vs. his impecably bred pick that barely squeeked out a neck for mdn 16k last.

Isn't this considered a negative sign? Are you not making the case against the horse you're playing to win?

Also how can you make a value play based on the morning line odds of a first time starter the day before the race?

Elusive Quality stands for 100K. please help us follow your logic, for it is fascinating....Also it must be comforting to know that the connections and agents have so much confidence in him that the best he can draw is a morning exercise rider with 27 starts at the meet....

OOOOOOO!!!!!

Based on what?

Based on his awesome quarantine skills.. duh.

got the price of 35-1 but unfortunately ran next to last

"It's like a nightmare, isn't it? It just keeps getting worse and worse, doesn't it?"

WINS paying 12.80 - Poor Dr. Pig, can't even follow his own advice :zz:

Smell good. Smoke more pork butts.

Nice call RBE!! I should have laid some doucets on him while I was on the road...All is good though, off to see Radiohead tonight!!!

You and I both!! In and out of meetings all day and no access to the ole' online account.... Very logical Trifecta (with the scratches of National Guard and Proudest Native) paid 331.00 for 2 beans... Gotta hand it to the good Doc, he's picking out some great races to beat him at.... Enjoy the show, man!
