Fairground Black Gold 5
 

Approaching 400k. Does anybody know if they are going to have mandatory payout on LD Day or on the follow day - Closing Day/Easter Sunday?

I played it for the first time all meet on Sunday and hit it for about $1500 on a $40 ticket; the parlay was probably in the $600 range so its definitely starting to boost payouts to multiple winners I think.

From Jim Mulvihill (FG Media):



The only mandatory payout day will be closing day on Sunday.

Thanks for checking – hope you get a chance to play it!

If 4-1 ML second choice (and very logical) #10 Request a Puck wins nightcap at FG, the BG5 is gone. 3-1, 6-1, 5-1, 2-1, X sequence.

Would be stealing 416k.

That's unbelievable! Here's hoping it carries again!

2 takes it down also.

Close but no cigars. Saw the 2 was alive as well but the #10 being alive to it was crazy I couldn't believe a sequence hat should probably pay $800 was going to pay $416,000 if he won. All the payouts were crazy as even fave #8 was worth $4,000+ for that relatively easy sequence.

Yup $475k carryover must be paid put... Should be a huge pool

Yes sir. full fields all around 12 12 10 9 12 This should be very interesting to see what the final pool total will be. Any guesses ? $1-1.5 mil ? and NY bettors are shut out i guess b ecause of the dark day for the holiday !

Yes competitive races too... I hate that cheap horse marathon finale throws a real question mark in already difficult sequence

Yeah final 5 little bit of everything in sequence

I actually think you can get away with just 1 and 6 in the last.

I agree. I started with this race because Steve has it as a contest but depending on the other races I might add the 4.

so far my ticket is 1260.00 :confused:

got to pare it down to around 200.

Does anyone have a strong opinion on the 9th. I could be 6 deep and not confident I will get through.

I am gonna roll the dice and single Graham in the last. I could live with being alive to just the 6 if I get there. Need to use plenty in the other legs. IMO.

He isn't a bad single at all. I personally think the horse will love 12 panels. My concern is that Mena chose the 1 instead of him. Aime is very sharp and the barn is cool with both jocks so it isn't that big of a deal but Mena's agent is very good.

Here are my thoughts:

8) 1,3,4,6,7,8,10 - nothing real strong here think you gotta spread

9) 2,3,8 - hoping 2 can settle behind speed and make a run...steadily improving... 8 gets back to dirt should fall into good trip

10) 3,9,10,12,14 - small lean to 3 he's got a lot of grass in pedigree...should get a great trip with main threats far outside

11) 3,11 - think 11 cutting back and already facing winners gives edge but 3 is main threat

12 6 - no strong opinion here think 6 goes fave but 1 and 4 get looks

Scratches are up:

8) 1, 12-16

9) 4,5

10) 5,13

11) 1(part of entry), 4, 6, 8, 13

I'm going with three here:

2, 3, 10

8-12

I'm thinking of including the 1 in the 9th and then the 7 in the 11th- anyone have opinions on these 2?

Cheap ticket is in already
10/3,8/2,3/3,7/1,6

thanks
Ron

Neither are impossible. The 1 in the 9th will prolly go the front..my knock is his front running win at CD he got an easy pace and he had an easy pace 2 back at shorter and couldn't hold...that being said there isn't a ton of speed here with scratch of 4..like him more if race is 5.5F

The 7 in 11th beat 5 horses home gate to wire and don't know if they were anything. Could be he caught really weak field. He's a ? for me.

I think I'm spreading wide early, and ending with the 3 in the 11th and the 1,6 in the last. Still working on how much to spend.

I am going with

3,9/2,3,8/10,11,12,14/3,11/4

8. 7,8,10
9. 3,6,8,10 (1,2)
10. 2,10,12,14
11. 3 (1)
12. 1,6 =$48.
() last horses taken off ticket to make it cheaper.

Here's my stab:

2,7,8
2
2,12
7,11,12
7,9

Good luck!

10 w/ 1,6,10 w/ 2,14 w/ 1,3,7,12 w/ 1,4,5,6.

7,8 w/ 6 /w 2 w/ 1,3,7,12 w/ 1,4,5,6.

The 7 looks LIVE in the 11th.

The Cecil/Calvin Borel horse? That horse should be 30-1 in my opinion.

Good Luck All!

12th: 6,7

Would it kill them to let us know how much is being bet into the pot? They just keep talking about the carryover amount with no mention of the total pot...
At least on the twinspires feed from the track.

$817,901 bet into the pool today.

ticket 1 7810 /28 / 21014 / 13 / 146 $54

ticket 2 810 / 10 / 231014 / 13/146 $24

Total pool as per John G Dooley on twitter...$1, 292,321

The 1 sunk me in the 9th...I just didn't predict that everyone would strangle their horses back and let the 1 waltz around the track.
I had ZERO interest in the 8, either, covering the 2 and 3 only.

UGH! I may regret trimming this ticket. Good luck Sheets and DaTruth.

I ended up singling #1 Mars Curiosity after I remember who that horse was... Looks like a private purchase by that trainer... Made all sense in the world... But couldn't bring myself to add the 1 Givhans Ferry in 2nd leg kicking myself... Horse had never shown that type of speed and kept going.. Great payouts for all very logical horses good luck to those alive

Hell yea Sheets!!! on a very small ticket to boot!!! Congrats man!

Very well done! :D:tro::$:
