Tampa Friday 3-27-09
 

Burning a vacation day today. Kids have the day off too. Ponies, 80 degrees and ice cream. It doesn't get any better than that.

Pick 4 (Another brutal sequence):

Race 8

4 - Very Capo (Arg) - Ness/Cruz blazing. Horse is hot too. Two dirt wins in a row and turf is not an issue (11 3 1 1).
6 - Crackenthorpe - Plenty wanting the front end in here (Divine Wonder, Cooltime, Kid Carousel....) This one will stalk Kid Carousel like his last.

Race 9 (next to impossible)
1 - Flashy Wonder - Wire to wire threat. Radio gets off the schnide?
3 - Lord Eldon - Draw a line through the turf non-effort against much tougher.
8 - Ethan the Monster - Not tickled about including this one at what I think may be a short price. Lightly raced, Calder maiden breaker both help. Scratched
9 - This Is My Game - Maiden breaker was two turns. Been sprinting. Scratched

Race 10

2 - Xep for Elmer - May be sitting on a big one.
4 - Tahoe Warrior - Will take all of the money. A single on a lot of tickets.
10 - Not Acclaim - Last not as bad as it looks, the winner absolutely freaked.

Race 11 (next to impossible part deux)

5 - Rockon Rockoff - Maybe in a field of horses that do not like to win.
8 - Gilded Key - In the best form, coming off his maiden score.

The ticket:

4,6/1,2,3,6/2,4,10/5,8

$48

Good luck.

This sequance is just about unplayable, I came up with
2,4,6,10
5,6,7
4,9,10
5,8
$72 ticket

Most likely not playing this ticket. Trying to save some bullets for tommorow, if I make it to the Meadowlands for a contest/day of racing.

For the record, I did NOT play it. So it's probably a stone lock for it to come in ($15 horse in the 1st leg)
72bucks well saved!

I should've laid down some money on Divine Wonder in the 8th. He scored for me at 7-1, I believe, on the closing day of last years meet.

Glad I didn't invest much....


Ice cream was good though. :)

6-5 is waaay too low for this 5 in the 11th.

Gimme the 8 to win.
