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.

It was an exciting opening day to the NHC.

My first optional play was Marky P at Tampa in the 4th and he got up at 13-1 to kick things off. I followed that up with a 2nd place finish in the 1st mandatory at GP. My only other winner on the day was It's Never To Late at GP in the feature who went wire to wire under E.T. Baird. A handful of 2nd place finishes at good numbers helped me work my way up the leader board.

Bob is a terrific guy as is Paul Weizer, so it's safe to say DT is represented with great people. There's still hope for a DT trifecta.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Good luck tomorrow guys.
Tomorrow is border line impossible. Kudos to whoever picked the races because it will take some serious handicapping to get through it. ANYONE has a shot tomorrow.
