NOTES: At Oaklawn, OFFICE ROCKET seems the logical alternative in the Rebel.. COBALT BLUE is likely special and gets the edge in the San Felipe.. Trombetta's CONTROL SYSTEM has been sharp first two; annexs Cicada at Big A...


Am off for drive to Tampa... Good luck!
Steve

My Dream......
 

Hooves on assignment steve in the land of the gator.....so I'll ask for him since he picked this horse cold last start.

.....How can I leave my dream off the Magna ticket after watching the horse power a beautiful race at Laurel recently which was the second win for this "Maryland Bred" BRZ horse in 3 starts.

Very very impressive live and can't see why today can't even be the 4TH choice. Laurel is a frozen swamp today....

Why so negative on a winner....Frank tip you off to something yesterday?

And yes I see the negative rider change...

At Turfway... Wayzata bay brings home the prize in the Tejano Run

and on Sunday... Solemn Promise throws his hat in the ring upsetting Song of Navaronne and 40 grams in the Winstar....

May the Racing Gods smile upon you today

Not when he's up against my boy Sidcup. Don't love the expected price, but he sure loves Poly.

He was under a drive for about a full half mile last time he ran at TP, went well wide, but still just never stopped. It was awesome. So was the price.

I'd have a hard time standing against him here.

Congrats steve!!!!

nice hit steve..
Wish I would have paid more attention to the 1 horse in the 9th at Gulfstream. $2,000 on a $200 bet isn't bad at all!

Nice hit, Steve. . . thought about playing it but didn't want to risk that much of the bankroll for a bet that's been kind of hard to hit. . . I should've been smart and just played your ticket with SNS as a single instead of the pk4 i played at TB. . .

Holy guacamole !
 

Byk is Back ! En Fuego !

YOu gave yourself a good chance and took it down. Outstanding. I cheaped out and didnot include the 1 in the gulf 9th and the 13 in gulf 10th, 3/5 on a $16 ticket. Congrats ! You Da Man :D

I wonder if he hit the Super in the 5th at SA
had all 4 horses

Nice Steve,

I blew it had 4 of 5 on two separate tix. 2K for a chalky pick 5 ain't bad.

Thats 2 weeks in a row I had 4 of 5 :mad:

Nice score Steve. I was 4/5 twice on a $44 play.....

same here - 4/5 on a 24 dollar ticket becase I was too cheap to add the 6 (the most logical horse in the race) in the ticket for 48 bucks...See Lemoncrush's thread...the most precious 24 beans I've ever earned - cost me 2 grand! :eek: :eek:

Guys..

Thanks very much.. Just back from Tampa trip, which was delightful, and was thrilled to catch up on yesterday's positive results.. Knew the Magna 5 hit and after scratches was just a $48 play... Santa Anita maiden leg was a BIGGIE too with the Super bringing back $1,400, the tri $389.00. The GP 9th was OK too. Hope everyone did well...
