SAR: Day Five (No Selections)
Had no chance to look at Sunday's Saratoga card after the first big Saturday of the meet... We'll pick it up for Monday.
Terrific day yesterday despite the rain.. Bet exactly one race, and nailed the opener tri for nice coin boxing the 1-4-5-7-9 and keying the 9 (Planets Aligned) over the 1-4-5-7 in triple. Was more than slightly miffed to discover that a Super had been offered in this one. My teller pal Julius, who's been doing the meet in the wickets for years, says there's almost NEVER a Super in Race 1... It was in the program and Barbara Grabowski told me afterwards that she had heard Durkin mention it, but I missed both pieces of info... Alan Benewitz of Thoro-Graph and I both were all over the 9 at an overlaid 13-1, and were stunned when a Super price of $8,400 was announced... I talked to "BTW" about NYRA doing more to let the public know an unusual bet is being offered with a flash on the TV or a crawl. He'll talk to Bill Nadar about it, as California does the best job of keeping you informed of proposition placement and we should have the same info here. In the meantime, once the rain came, I kept my profits in the the pocket despite nailing the 5th race super ($1,500) on paper as well... Am noticing how the wins are being spread around amongst the jockey colony so far. EVERYONE is getting their wins... More examination of Week One trends and action on ATRAB and DT Tuesday... Hope you're doing well so far... Steve
