3/14: AQU; GP; TAM; Magna 5; FG; Rebel; SA
 

Simply put, I can't recall a day developing and unfolding with such widespread invitation to wagering action... Plan carefully and budget wisely. It will be a special day for many players. Don't get down if things go against you early. There's too many great chances to win Saturday to lose focus.

Steve,
The last leg of the M5 is brutal. I missed the show yesterday, did any of the guests have any particular insights? I'm four deep right now and the only horse we have in agreement is the 9.

Hammerle likes the elder, experienced runners. He started with Billy Allen. Ron Anderson, G. Gomez' agent, said he thought it was totally wide open. Forwardly placed runners continue to do well coming down the hill as Brad Free highlighted last week...

The Hits just keep on coming
 

Wow Steve...... just stopped in, to take a break from prepping for my fantasy baseball draft, to take a look around.

You are amazing!

'Capping from sea to shining sea. Looks like at least 31 races on your plate. Sadly this is one of the few Saturdays I'm out of action with my baseball commitment. Well I will have my laptop with me and should be able to get on Twin Spires TV for some of the big ones.

Hit a homer buddy!

Wow Steve just amazing,
but what time could we expect the Los Al picks?

Musket Man gotta keep the faith with Derek Ryan , look for a bouce back today

I'm shocked that Steve picked Smooth Air.

I thought there was a Grade 1 with his name on it.....and being that this was merely a Grade 2 I just assumed it was a prep.

Steve Santa Anita Pick 6
 

Steve,


I think your pick 6 ticket at Santa Anita is $400.00 5x5x2x1x2x2=200X2 =$400.00

I love Steve's picks in the LA Derby, an abundance of alternatives here to the favorites.

Word is only 45 minutes of light rain in the NOLA area, suppose to be on/off rest of the day, possibly dodged a bullet as they should be on the turf

What a great day. Off to Gulfstream to enjoy the action.

Thx Darrrr. Had intended 2nd single but didn't adjust. Fixed now. 5x5x1x1x2x2.

Steve, it's probably a moot point but I disagree that soft ground moves Proudinsky down. He won last year's Muniz over yielding turf and German horses often are used to boggy courses. I think he runs well in California despite the surface, not because of it. With that said, I don't want any part of him from the 14-hole.
