There are at least 10 guys on here that are way better than me and that is exactly why I love this place. That isnt even counting the pros like Nick Tammaro, Steve Byk and Gus Alanzo and tournement players like Paul Weizer and Ed Peters who don't post daily in selections. You dont learn anything when you are the big fish. Pointman and Knicks turned my game around. I watched them press and hit nice doubles and I had the revelation that it isnt the quantity of the catches but the quality. I now consider my play to be like Dave Kingman. Low percentage but looking for the big scores with a whole lot of pissing and moaning in between. Hang in there Lonestar but lose the Rex Ryan like bravado especially when it isnt going your way. That is what rubs folks the wrong way. You need to decide what worka for you, do you want to swing for the fences or be a grinder like Cap Benny and Gamlin.

AQU 4th: 5-3-2

I had the winner $9.60
These Ortiz's are really not good for racing or the horses they ride... The 2 ridden by Irad was never given a real chance to win..
I know that I'd never use either one of them on one of my horses... They don't respect the sport at all.




AQU Race 4:

5-Rockford $100WIN
$80 exacta: 5/2
$20 exacta: 2/5

$40 triple: 5/2/1,6
$20 triple: 5/1,6/1,2,6

$60DD: 5/1,4

$20PK3:
3rd: 5
4th: 1,4
5th: 2,3

You will be fine... You've already shown what you can do. I've lost 62 straight pick 5's.... That means I should hit 4.5 out of the next 38 Thing is 1 of those can carry me for hundreds of losses. Summer racing can't get here fast enough though. You playing BCBC? I got lucky and have 2 entries.
