Win streak attempt

[Calzone Lord]

Lets go to Finger Lakes in search of the 7th straight day with a winner.

You normally want Henny Hughes offspring 1st time out and sprinting -- but Teahupoo plunges down and catches a field of complete bums. The only horse with even a remote looking chance is the #2 horse -- and I don't like the trainer change on that one.

Standout of the day:

Finger Lakes Race #1: Teahupoo

It was a great ride. He got him left at the gate, trapped behind a 50 and change pace, and had him everywhere but the ladies bathroom.

Make it 7-for-7 and at a stellar $2.20 win mutual no less. I will survive.

7 down, 3 more to go.

Doug his Betfair starting price was 1.26 but I managed to get him at 1.7 - this is brilliant! If I had enough funds in my Betfair account I'd also be laying all your losers!!!

Betting exchanges are great for a wide variety of reasons. In a lot of cases, laying the bums to place would be the way to go.

In terms of how draconian the game is setup against the bettor, Horse Racing in the United States is an absolute pathetic embarrassment. We are 50 years behind the year 1890. Our glorioust of glory years, the 1890's.

There are several horses scattered throughout the country who have the look of sure thing standouts.

A few of them look like types who'll flirt hard with even money or better. This one won't.

I hate to do it, but Gantry in the 3rd race at Louisiana Downs is facing just four rivals ... one of which (the only capable of applying pace pressure) is cross entered in a richer stake race at Kentucky Downs and figures to scratch.

Gantry has won 5 of his last 6 starts -- the lone defeat was a 3rd to Shackleford and Amazombie on the Kentucky Derby undercard. He won the Grade 2 Smile by 5 lengths last time out at Calder -- and drops in to a 50K stake here for trainer Ron Faucheux -- who is winning 53% at the meet and 30% for the year.

Standout of the day: Louisiana Race #3: Gantry

Delaunay scratched at KD. Looks like he is staying in this race.

Soundly beaten second at 1/5. You were right when you started this quest. It is so much harder to pick ten winners in a row than to pick any number of losers. Still, I hope you try again as this was great fun to follow.
