1/8: Aqueduct ($21k C/O): Gulfstream (5th-10th)
 

Saw the 9 events I capped pretty clearly Friday, coming away with returns on nearly everything attempted at the windows. Day 3 at Gulfstream was particularly rewarding, as the late P4 and last 3 P3's came home for nearly $700. Had to settle for a pair of $14.00 consos in the $924 P5 for leaving In Perpetuity off the play, but I used him in the P4 and that came back a healthy $354 (.50). Fair Grounds went according to Hoyle as well, but too many obvious winners kept the payoff to a tiny $64 for the $48 play.

Hope you did well! Lots of action to choose from today including a $21k carryover at Aqueduct, the Stakes-tinged Gulfstream slate and much more..

What do you like about Saint Dynaformer. Not that I would talk you off a 20 to 1 horse? Needed Mdn 40's to break thru. Couldn't beat but 2 in a restricted race. You don't think Breen's horse isn't way better? plus Rogue Victory is terriffic off the bench..

It's a rough race to get a handle on.

Very tough group Fredo. Looking for prices and the Plesa is a different horse now and still may have more improvement in him. The Breen is definitely OK, but I avoid Bravo at short numbers as much as possible. Good luck!

Also... Am in Albany right now with Tina getting a shelving unit and will get changes up as soon as I get home.

Nice call on the 9 in the 7th

3/1 was a square price
