![]() It was a maddening miss in the P4 at Gulfstream Thursday, with no excuse for not snaring the fabulous $3,000+ pot. On top winners in the 7th and 8th and the 2nd choice winner in the 6th left the ticket with a single of Affect in the nightcap. It was a poor use of the multiples, having gone 4x4x3 to get to the single.
Whether limiting the plays to <$50 is the issue or overconfidence in specific horses, failing to capitalize on opportunities like Thursday's can be the difference at the end of the year between a profit or loss. Oaklawn Park opens its' popular meet Friday, and many big outfits are based at Hot Springs again with another contigent of Derby Trail horses expected to contest the Southwest-Rebel-AK Derby series on their way to Louisville. I don't play OP on a regular basis, but it's a fun oval famous for frenetic mulri-horse finishes and big mutuels thanks to a quirky short stretch. SELECTIONS -- Oaklawn Park, 1/19 (R5-9) POST SCRATCHES.. REVISED P4..

![]() This is sad and thoroughly embarassing.. The 7 in the P4 was a mistake too.. Just noticed. Was meant to be the 6 First Regent.. Very bad. You would have really had to somehow backed into being alive with this today..
Sorry everybody..

Lucky for me I didn't handicap the rest and look over Steve's ticket and caught that mistake. |

You really caught this? Because the way you describe it, is the only way to have done it... ($950.00+??) If you read names you would have corrected the first leg error but then would have been beaten correctging the mistake with the 6/7 in the feature... At least those that bet the P3 blind, like Gil, hit...
