Jockeys and Trainers and combo weigh into my picks wagers often. LUCK is a big part of this "game" and there's nothing wrong with it.

“ HOT SHOT KID “
Might be a good nickname for Roamin

He And The “Colorado Kitten” Oughta Team Up At The Track

We Do Love Our LoooooooooooongShots

Unfortunately this week the Horses I Chose To Win
Preferred To Graze instead

He likes Jockeys
I Love Names, Grays, Sires

As Long As The Methodologies Works
The Method Doesn’t Really Matter

Roamin, I hope that your hot hand continues until the Breeders' Cup. Then you can often get very generous prices on horses that based on their form don't really deserve to be "longshots". I know that you can get just as juicy a payoff on a race at the Finger Lakes on a Tuesday afternoon, but somehow that big hit on a big race day is much more memorable.

Very nice pick on Hot Shot Kid. It's always a plus when the bettors allow your horse to go off several clicks above the ML odds.
