My angles are what I play religiously, but if you ignore Byk you are being foolish. I've hit plenty of bet blind Byk tickets. But I was cashing tickets when I was 12.
Here are some of what I bet or don't bet
No bets....
Adding lasix off a win.....never
Win the 1x run back in the 2x.....absolutely not
13 or more final furlong... No thanks 7 or more final 1/16 ...um, no
Leo Obrien, Zito , or other guys who don't win....no Dallas Stewart...nope
No gappy guys
Hosses who don't pass....eliminate em
Good angles
Forster Homebred for a tag off a short set
Passers of hosses
Blinkers off
1:02 5 furlong works
Shug 5/8 work after all those halfs
Street boss first time turf
Stack mare turf
Grand slam mares
Early bullets so that they know he has speed and can build a bottom
Inside to outside post
Lone race experience in race
Turn back to one turn
GATE EXCUSE first start.... Best of them all
Mare power....that is , at least one winning sibling in the grass
Byk's next best ( secret code for whom to bet flat)
See these angles at work in the pick 5 at Belmont tomorrow
1-4-5
6-7
3-4-5
1-5-6
2-6-9

I appreciate the response.
I'm fully aware of your Toga tourney prowess. I've brought your picks up to a few guys that I know follow this board when I see them at the Turf Club. Phenomenal job, truly. ..... But Rock has turned things around. His image and his handicapping definitely has taken a 180 over the years. Anybody that denies that is delusional. He's made bets before that made me question if he's crazier than JimmyEllis, but who am I to speak of their validity. I'd like to think they've all been real, but I don't have much doubt about his recent string of success. Props due.
