I caught a 200 dollar double to ravens pass and a 5 dollar tri in the same race putting him on top of 6 horses and tossing the best horse in the world. Sad really. Up around 30 on the day

I got 5 out of 6 on the pk 6, I singled Soldier of Fortune..blahh. Won the supers on the juvenille and sprint races. Other than that I still lost for the weekend after getting killed on Friday but manageable enough. Can't complain I had a blast today.

How 'come so many people cashed on this terrible crappy fake turf-like surface that gives chaotic, unpredictable results, has ruined the sport, and put up fake champion after fake champion?

Richwood Silver - next time, she got a good race into her and was pretty exciting until the last eight. Had a good fun day at Keeneland's closing day and finally got to meet NC Tony in person. Cashed about $450 on the Classic.

I thought this year's BC overall was a good, exciting one - a good day of horse racing!

Had Minight Like/Conduit/All pick three and was a thrill to watch the Classis knowing I'd win no matter who won. Payoffs were $95 Curlin and as high as $3900 for the outsiders. Caught Ravons Pass for $495.

I hit three pick threes yesterday....(My god, I sould like BBB)

My best BC ever.

Keyed David Hoffman's turf sprinter in pick 3s and 4s. Got lucky to hit both a few times. Best $32 ticket I have ever constructed for a $6000 payoff.

actually had a very good day on BC day for once. Hit the triple in the Turf and was on fire late but unfortunately sat on my late Pick 4 (8-11). Had Raven's Pass, but didn't bet him to win as he was included on my Pick 4 ticket, and didn't have the exacta. Then nailed the 10th, but didn't bet the race as I had 1.6,12 in my Pick 4, they ran 6-1. Alive to the 6 and 8 in the 11th and miss by a neck for 2300...still up so I'm somewhat happy, but it could've been a very good day.

I had the Stardom Bound-Dream Empress exacta for $10 on Friday and win bets on Donativum and Conduit on Saturday to save me. Once it was said and done, I was up $14 for the 2 days.

I had my best Cup day by far.. SPent many hours Wed thru Friday handicapping and about 5 hours on Sat planning my bets.
I focused on the P3's and went pretty deep on multiple tickets. Hit quite a few and some winners were losers Was in position to
cash 4 pick 4's and 2 pick 3's in the classic but Raven's Pass cleared away those chips. Highlights

R1) 1,5,9 Ex Box 665.00
R1) 4,5,6,7/6,8,9,11,13,14/1,7,8,9 P3 > 5261.50
R2) 6,8,9,11,13,4/3,6,7,8,9,10/2,4,6 > 1181.9

Thats what cell phones are for.

I came real close, but no cigar. I thought Santa Anita was a good venue for the cup this year.

LOL and if you find one good luck getting to your destination - was asked for directions in the marriott hotel parking lot friday nite by a group of very inebriated degenerates stuffed in a cab [appeared to be coming from an airport] the driver was trying to find the OTHER marriott [east huntington vs. west huntington] later found out it was only a couple of blocks in the other direction but bet anything they drove around couple more hours going in circles, jhc they were very drunk and that driver was hopelessly lost, hope their room wasnt given away if they ever got there to check-in...

Had my best day ever.

I had Muhannak in the 1st, the exacta in the 2nd (cause i like Desert Code and i usually get silly and include a sentimental horse even if they don't have a shot ). Was alive in the pick 3 till Well Armed decided to screw me. He was my single for the day. Not good.

Messed up the Mile and Juvy but had Donativum, had the exacta, was all over Fatal Bullet and threw Midnight Lute in at the last minute so had the sprint (ex and tri, sucks cause I had Street Boss and In Summation too but didn't play a super) , hit the 10 cent super in the Turf which was REALLY fun . Eagle Mountain was my horse for the day but I knew to box some of the Euros, that Conduit would be there, that Soldier was gooood and that Dancing Forever had a beter shot than the rabbit.

Liked Henry, screwed up the Classic in a big way.

All in all came home with just over (an additional) 1200. which, considering what I played on Eagle and Fatal Bullet to win was just fine. Watched my closest freind go from having a mere 30. left to making 2 trips to the IRS window so yeah... a good day.

Hit the superfecta in the classic and got screwed by IRS and state taxes. Hoping to see curlin off the board....maybe would have gotten 20-30k, but happy with 10k.

Also, did hit the turf superfecta for 40 cents and classic superfecta and got screwed by IRS and state taxes. Hoping curlin was off the board and maybe would have gotten 20-30k, however, overall very happy!!!

Default late pick 4 saturday

Committed to the euros and cashed 2700 on pick 4 on a 70.00 ticket..had diabolical wheeled underneath and caught ridiculous exacta. Tough beat was on friday when the 11 )Lonely Heart) didnt get up in time..cameras followed the wrong horse after the wire causing huge letdown as I missed win bet and exacta. cant afford pick 6 but can see if I had played hitting it..
shoulda coulda woulda

This isn't big score but maybe about how much of a moron I am. I was telling everyone that would listen that the Turf Sprint was an all race given how the race would run and all the traffic issues down that f'n hill. So not listening to myself I had this P4 ticket played

2: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,12,13,14
3: 1,7,8
4: 4,5
5: 11

$24 more dollars and I nail the early P4 for $5500, and I was talking about that race being an all race since I saw it. f'n moron
