Arealhotlover is 3-1 M/L. Nobody bets 3-1 with any regularity and wins a contest.

Come on Scav, find a price.

Dude, it is about winners at the mandatories. I also like Tip Along in that race.

If Arealhotlover is 7/5, well I am obviously wouldn't be playing it, but I think she is 3/1 or 5/2 and since I would HAVE to play the race, when not pick the winner

Bah. I wouldn't say she's the winner here.

This race is too wide open to go with anything less than 5-1. I'm using damn near all of them in my Pick 4...but given my track record over the last week or so, that doesn't mean anything.

I agree about the race, just thought the turf to dirt was a postive for her and she looked speed of the speed.

This was one of the good mandatories. Picking the 4th at Golden Gate is a travesty for the people in the DRF/NTRA.

For the GGF race I'd go with #4 Joshua's Dream at 10-1, this is exactly the kind of race that the trainer, Genaro Vallejo, wins.

Thanks, GGF is my track and there are some plays that are easy to figure. Trainers get really streaky or win certain types of races and there are times when specific trainer/jockey combos are money. Vallejo has been with Figueroa on route horse with double digit M/L.

Right now, trainer Steve Sherman is on fire with every type of horse/race. He's won 8 of his last 9

Update after day 1:

Nick T is looking VERY strong in 19th place, with $100 (an outstanding score in this format.)

Paul & Bob in the middle of the pack with $52 and $43 respectively, still in it with a huge day tomorrow.


Good luck tomorrow guys.
