Day 12
Another day where I struggled with the card.

Best bet: Race 8- #5 Anaconda
This horse has teased with some big ability at times. His debut was strong, they tried him two turns, back to sprinting and then he was off for 13 months. His return this January was very good, then they stretched him back out where he ran a decent 3rd behind the eventual SF Mile winner. Went down the hill after that, got a very passive ride early and then put in a good late run. Another passive ride last time and again put in a decent run. Was a private purchase after his last and ends up in a very shrewd barn who adds blinkers. I think we see the good Anaconda today.

Longshot: Race 5- #7 Sebaray
I know Sweeping Giant towers over this field on paper but this seems like such a questionable drop. They paid $350k for him, he ran back to back seconds in his first two and then had trouble in a stake. Why show up today for 40k? I'm going with Sebaray. He ran much better first time in the Ray Handal barn than he had shown for Marya Montoya and was meant for turf that day. Plenty of grass pedigree on the dam side as she has produced a few turf winners including a stakes winner and stakes placed horse. Would like to see Dylan Davis aggressive early with him and should be a very fair price.

Anaconda was horrible. Slow early and never involved. I couldn't have had the winner anyway. Sebaray ran a decent third. Maybe a more aggressive ride and he's second, but was never beating the winner.

Day 13
Another very difficult day, but fantastic betting card

Best bet: Race 10- #3 Orchestration
I know a lot of people are going to gravitate towards Capensis for good reason. he was super impressive in his debut, validating the hefty purchase price. I have no real knock against him, but I want to see him do it again and the post is no bargain. I thought Orchestration looked like a runner with a nice future last year. Not the best ride in his debut, broke maiden here and then was sawed off at Keeneland when he was really moving well. Layoff a concern obviously but should be a rare Chad Brown/Irad horse that isn't overbet.

Longshot: Race 5- #7 Big Bobby
By no means am I in love with this horse, but I thought this was a race full of speed and wanted to take a runner who I thought would be coming late. Total no show in return, but good to see no dramatic drop and he's improved in his second start off the break each time he has had a layoff. Will be every bit of his 10-1 ML and if he can still run at all, should get conditions suited for him

Capensis was indeed vulnerable at even money (!) and was off the board. Orchestration ran well and maybe would've won if he was able to get out a bit sooner. He did win the photo for 2nd, paying $6.10 to place.

Big Bobby took way more money than I was thinking, going off at 5-1. The pace meltdown didn't really materialize (shocking in NY) and Big Bobby ran well to finish a non threatening 3rd.

Day 14
End of the second week already and for all of the days where I have not liked many cards, I really like todays card. Which means I'll probably go 0 for 10.

Best bet: Race 5- #9 Baby Blythe
I flirted with putting a few horses in this spot but ultimately landed on a horse I have thought highly of since her debut. Post is no bargain with the run into the far turn, but I think Baby Blythe has shown hints of ability a few times in her career. Two back she needed one behind a crawling pace and won the match race last time, somehow as the 2nd choice. She exploded here last year to a big one, albeit over the widener and hopefully she gets a little pace to run at. I think 3rd off the layoff we see her best and I'm hoping she shows up with her "A" race because ultimately I think she's the best horse in here

Longshot: Race 8- #1 L'Imperator
Not a longshot per se, but I think this one will be the longest shot of the 5 in here. Tough to make much out of his race two back in the bog, but I thought his race last time was much better than it looked. Cancel yanked him off the lead as his uncoupled stablemate stole the race. He was putting in a run when he had to pause in traffic and was still coming. LOVE the rider switch to Manny who should be aggressive from the inside and I think he can win this on the lead or right off. Another rare price on a Chad horse

Baby Blythe was awful. Headstrong early and stopped in the lane. Bad pick. L'Imperator ran his race, just got weary late and finished 3rd.

Day 15
Best bet: Race 8- #2 Must Be Love
To me, this race has to fall apart with all of the speed signed up and I wanted to take the fresh face, for a barn having success this meet. Goes first out for Rudy's brother off the private purchase and hopefully can get up late

Longshot: Race 2- #5 Mike's Little Diva
Took money in debut in what has become the most live NYB maiden run this year. Broke well and was just behind the expensive Pletcher repeater when she retreated. She was 5-1 in the ML that day and Aragona is usually pretty on it. Not that it means anything. Ultimately I think the drop makes sense and maybe she breaks and takes them a long way

Atleast you only had to flush my toilet once.
Its a daily flush with you! Try more salad, eat some greens bro, stinky man.
My picks are showing a profit for the meet (so far), which I know pisses you and MANY others off.

Not to mention I can guarantee more people are looking at my picks than listen to your podcast. I mean...you told someone you were me. That says a lot.
You're the definition of irrelevant.

Everything I said in my post was a fact. My picks are showing a profit so far. You told AZDave you were me when you met him. More people pay attention to my picks than your podcast that no one knows or cares about. You're totally irrelevant.

You can't dispute anything I've said which is why you responded the way you did.
