Default 11/12: Aqueduct (6th-9th)

It's funny how sometimes in this game you 'know' you are going to win.. Tuesday was like that with the late P4 at Churchill. Once the Maker-Ramsey single Majestic Feline won the 7th, I felt there was no way the rest of the play didn't have the necessary horses on it, and it did. Even though the return was modest, $185.00 on a $72 play, I was pleased with the structure of the ticket. The play tried to maximize the Quad's upside potential by reducing it to a P3 with the single and including several big prices horses that would have sent the ROI skyrocketing had they hit in the 8th, 9th or 10th. Hope you did well! Big A '4' looks fun today...

Not necessarily. I think the career best stake win in July knocked her for a loop.. On figs, that was a big effort, and the flop in the Diana and subsequent break confirm it. She likes cut in the ground, but I'm giving her the soft going fiasco comebacker as a toss while appreciating the Ticonderoga effort was back approaching the lower edge of her typical performance range. Note that she worked her way to a best run 4th off the layoff earlier in the year, and at 12-1 she's a price worth using in anticipation of at least a good try at her best distance.

I can't do that... But I can tell you that I know I'm the best Yahtzee player here.. way better than Hossy and I will beat him in our throwdown challenge. Loser puts a vid on YouTube dancing to Flea Market Montgomery.

I think the Fairy Garden is a definite value race, some of the familiar faces in here have burned holes in a few pockets.

Note the Asmussen (#6 La Concerto) DEAD on the board in the Big A 6th and the Hushion (#2) taking money. Talked aboutthis race on air yesterday for a while noting that the 2 and 8 weren't hopeless beyond the obvious 3-5-6. Now inclined to 'saver' with the 2 seeing her getting bet like this...

POST SCRIPT: Odds fell in line by post time..

Or a GREAT try... But at 9-2, she was hardly the value you wanted.. or in other words, plenty of people saw through the 12-1 ML price.

Definitely not alot of value in that price, but I was clearly wrong about something being amiss with her. I was actually very glad to see her win today and I hope this is a sign she will return to her form from earlier in the year. I lost money today not using her...and actually didn't mind.

Let me see if I get this right... You ask if I think something's wrong... You get a fairly detailed answer expressing that in fact it looks like she's coming around... and you don't use her...
