Saratoga is killing me!
 
OK, so I'll say straight out. I'm not the best handicapper, but damn, toga is killing me this year. I can't find a winner in a one horse race.

It's so bad I bet on a horse that was scratched just to get my money back and they changed their mind and came in last.

It's so bad I bet ALL and lost in a DQ to the Emergency Van.

It really is bad.


and you?.............................

You should just follow Steve right now.

asudevil 08-12-2010 06:09 PM

If it wasn't for Bermudez lack of finish on King Andrew, Steve would have had the late Byk 4 as well.

Two words for me........VALIANT PASSION! :) :$:

We're a little bit ahead. We only go to the track Fri., Sat., and Sun. and don't wager any other days.

Bet what you can afford to lose and enjoy .

I know this sounds like a copout, but I've handicapped well and bet terribly for the most part.

My Xpressbet account could have really used King Andrew winning today for a nice Double with the Angel Penna runaway winner.

i was doing bad, but hit the pick 4 with Blame last week and put me up a bunch for the meet. gave back 100 of it yesterday though. i suck at picking horses in NY, so other than the spa i stay away, but it's such a fun meet

I feel like I have been the same way. Always have the right horses, just never played out my tickets smartly.

Don't tell me you didn't spend that $100 wisely.

and you?.............................

I had the P3 today with Interactif, oh but also on my ticket was Grand Rapport(Also in the Contest), 2 inches difference between a $38, and a $222 return! Keep fighting through Spyder, it'll turn around.

Princess Doreen 08-13-2010 06:13 PM

I had a $5 exacta on Interactif/Grand Rapport. It barely covered all the losing bets I made today. Bill lost aboutn$20. But, it was a fun day, The weather was beautiful.
