Sorry Skippy.

If it helps, I had Evening Jewel to start off my Oak/Woodord/Derby wager. Will be sick if any of the other bombs on it come in....

(Oh well... Thats what I get for trying to beat the chalk and get some value.)

skippy3481 · #3 04-30-2010, 06:08 PM

my pick 3 for the oaks woodford derby looks like this
5-11-13
2-3-7-8
1-3-4-13

Im right there with you...

doubles are 5-11/1-3-4-11-13-16 for $10

nothing like going from a hell of a setup to a buzzkill.... but hey tommorrow is a new day and at least we are both still alive

P.S. thanx for the kind wishes

Way to go by keeping Blind Luck in there...I tried to be "smarter" and left her off my ticket.. Wishful thinking on my part obviously... I really thought Evening Jewel had it though..oh well... I am alive physically, but not with any bets going into tomorrow...

Good luck tomorrow and with all the challenges that the day surely bring.

That's the worst beat I've ever seen, bar none. With the impossible photo and the conso being $676, it's unfathomably bad.

I know it's tough, but shouldn't your toughest beat be when you're best, and get into trouble? You had your shot. She's too good, and she wants it. That's a difficult combination to beat.

They're both bad, but being in trouble and still best is a judgment call. This dude (or chick) was literally an inch or two from $154,000, with a 13-1 single who appeared to get the bob on every replay and got $676 instead. Show me a worse beat than that.

Worse beat is knowing you had the best horse singled, and can't get up. People singling Jewel were looking for trouble happening to a better horse. Didn't happen (not enough.) They had every break (slow pace, lost ground for B.L. etc.) Singled an inferior animal. They think they had a tough break, but they had a lot of breaks. The other horse is too good. That's caused by Hollendorfer picking easy spots.

skippy3481 · #10 04-30-2010, 07:09 PM

point taken joey... 154,000 is much worse.

Arletta, she was in there simply as a cover. I really thought the 11 would get a nice run and she did. I just don't see how she lost that photo....

That's a good point, but the letdown factor is unbelievable.

And skip, I didn't mean to marginalize what you suffered, that's rough too.

Haven't seen the head-on, but it looked like Kent was coming out herding her. Wouldn't even been that close a photo if he doesn't come out bothering her.

skippy3481 · #13 04-30-2010, 07:21 PM

no offense taken at all. In the grand scheme of things its very minor that was a heat of the moment post. 154k that would suck

Is that really a surprise?

No, it doesn't surprise me. That's the way Douglas got owned (Cajuns riding Cajun.) At 2:01, he sees her coming. Hits Jewel left-handed. Comes out (pretending he's gunna stay straight.) Then, he does it again at 2:04. He doesn't just start coming over in one big move. He uses two moves (with a hesitation moment in between.) If it was Gomez, then he'd of sold Blind Luck on a swerve (without actually making a full swerve.) If Gomez was on Jewel, you might of gotten paid, because he has a swerve fake that actually can stop a horse's momentum.

this is nonsense in all respects.
