just not seeing it this year

[Alabama Stakes]

Scott, you realize that 5 1/2 turf races are not on the inner turf course right ? I don't think post 1,2 or 3 has won any of the races yet. There must have been at least 2 dozen so far. The NYRA feed ( where they blast the commercials at full volume throughout the track so loudly that everyone has to stop talking) ends up giving every hoss in the race between all of them. As far as track bias , it's tough when the supposed top riders dive to the dead rail for no reason half the time.

I should have split my sentences and spoke about the 5.5f turf races on the Mellon as opposed to continuing from the inner turf course sentence. The prattle does talk about every horse which I use to augment my handicapping - are they mentioning something that I did not see in the form or on the track? Maggie's on-track and in-paddock observations are very useful for tossing horses that are acting-up.

I agree about Maggie's observations they can be helpful, but I wish she would give more info on the feet on muddy days or off the turf races. It's only useful on the current race and horizontal tickets don't get that benefit except in the first leg. Do you find the commercials way too loud? It seems like for $55 for a clubhouse seat on Saturday, I shouldn't have to listen to Infinity car commercials at concert volume.

The weather has been brutal so far but as far as trends go..

santana is bringing it big style if not on a ass man dirt horse he is still riding to hit the board with less under him on the turf

king louis saez is riding well and getting all of his mounts in the game.

caramooch is also doing well with what he a has.

1) I hate playing wet tracks.

2) You have to zero out the machine.

You have to be playing from a neutral position, or from ahead. Some people need to stop playing for a couple days to feel that way. Some people need 5 weeks. Some just need to play a different track. Not that many people win when they feel they are playing from behind.

1) Hope for Donut Girl, or Helen's Tiger to win in dominating authoritative fashion in today's 7th race at Del Mar. Then, you'll most likely have an odds on high-headed filly ( that will run 2nd-4th.)
