I am picking one of the biggest longshots of the day. GLOBAL HUNTER in the Del Mar Mile.

in Argentena GLOBAL HUNTER ran his best races on Turf going one mile. There he was carrying well 126 lbs plus yet he won in fast times. He hasnt raced on turf here yet but I feel this will be his best race in USA and he gets a sneaky turf rider in Valdivia. I know this is a real tough field to beat but I believe he has to be included underneath.

THE BET:

$200 Show GLOBAL HUNTER

I like him too (to use underneath, I mean) and this is probably insanity but I think Hurry Up Austin (applause ) will be surprisingly good today (by that i mean 3rd or 4th) and no I'm not on drugs.

Scratches...

Good luck everyone and come home safe kids.

I shouldn't call myself a longshot player, though I used to "look" for them. My process of handicapping is now constructed to seek change, something new that will spring "today", so most happen to be very good "value"

I went for awhile boxing these picks with the usual suspects, only to see the favorite bomb and my choice win paying $30.00 whatever, and I missed the right bet

Playing these choices the correct way, I believe, is to bet WPS(across the board).

Get the win first

Don't expect those $200 show bets to be that good very often going forward, of course.

Go buy yourself a nice filet and bottle of wine and and enjoy.

I'm pulling for you in the inquiry.

If they place Global Hunter 2nd, it'll get you quite a bit more $$.

I don't see how that happens. They split the show pool into 3 equal parts, then divide the thirds by the number of show tickets on each horse (after takeout, of course). Same 3 horses in the money, same show prices, no matter how they scramble them.

Yep, Pedigree Ann, you're exactly right. I was too busy typing instead of thinking!

I actually was meandering to "place" bet thoughts, of course.

This wasnt a 2-5 shot. He was 30-1. I would have been stupid to go WPS cause it was a tough field to win. I bet him cold for Show cause I knew he will run HIS best race yet. I will take my $600 profit and buy me a watch.

Nice call on both the horse and the bet!
