so its 920 here in so cali its sprinkling and more rain promised tommorow i wouldnt be surprised if we dont get good rain on friday which means the race might be taken off of the turf friday night for acclimation. put that together with its his first race off a lay off first race off injury and i think a 5 to 8 pound difference. The only thing he has going for him is he only has to face 4 others who are not on his level from last year you will get good odds on the empire maker horse but it could be a toss up

are you actually suggesting Acclamation can't win off turf? lol, remember the Pacific Classic at Del Mar last summer?

this is a 5 horse race and its not a real good field. and he is the only horse with any early speed. he'll either get an easy lead or press whoever winds up on the lead in a real slow pace. and he's won his last 5 - 3 grade 1, 2 grade 2. this is a grade 3.

i mean i hope you are right and he doesnt go at super short odds, because i'll unload the clip.

Im looking forward to see the Louisiana Downs in bossier city, la next weekend. It will be fun to watch

Hi guys. It's good to have 2+2 back. Was wondering if someone could pm me about how to post pics from your phone onto the thread.

Been playing well of late, but wasn't taking tixpix during the blackout. I'd like to start now as I sense I'm about to get hot. Terrific mindset to have that tends to be self-fulfilling. I'm gonna win.

razztapes - awesome job man.

i did the honorable thing and donated. i did hit the the 3rd-5th spots though!

bet on horses for the first time at Pimlico(Home of Preakness) because my internship sponsored a Lunch and open bar lol Lost the daily double($2) lost a $5 bet on a horse to win and won a $14.40 for a $4 bet. which they challenged because the horses were neck and neck at the final

i was exstatic because it was a 9 to 2 so i thought i had won $18 but come to realize the odds change up to the minute of the race and the track takes a cut. You can never win at any sort of gambling the house always wins when the gambler wins

Was fun and hope to do it again soon

any decent bets to make on the preakness? Trifecta of some sort to make a few dollars? Too soon?

blah45 - a winning day betting horses and free booze...........trade lives with me.

Long-time lurker, figured with the reset I'd start posting more.

Anyone playing Presque Isle Downs opening day tomorrow? Lomax (running in the Tom Ridge S. won his career debut at MNR by 23 lengths (and earned a 96 Beyer). 10-1 on the ML, I'll be taking a look at least.

Black Eyed Susan card Friday at Pimlico looks pretty decent too.

lol my life isnt that exciting that was actually the most excitement i had all weekend and it was my last official weekend of college

Bet Bode at +300, +250 to win Preakness online yesterday and today at sb, ting, etc. Seemed crazy high.

All bets are live, so no start = I lose.

Probably single him up top for all exactas and tris.

I hope Watchmaker's line is off and I get that on Saturday. Anyone like one of the new shooters to complete the exacta or tri? Zetterholm maybe?

i like Went The Day Well a lot. i liked him going into Kentucky and I like him now in the Preakness. He got a crappy trip and got up for 4th in the derby. I think he'll be right there. He's an up and comer in my book. But, not a ton of early speed so pace should be a little slower. So we'll see if anyone can hook Bode.

Naj: those seem like really good odds on Bode.

wheres the best place to place a bet online for preakness? how easy is it to get winnings off the site lol to where also

$20 Win, Golden Gate Race 5, #5 Trapper's Reward(6-1 M/L).

Won for fun with a powerful :24 flat burst after being stopped twice Sunday, May 6 at the 6250 level. I was there watching through binoculars, although I passed the heat. The fig and last race level don't belie his ability, imo.

Sherman put in the claim for Jr Racing and Bone. 4yo bumps up to 10,000 on an 11 day wheelback.

Hollendorfer/Baze have the heavy fav dropping precipitously, 4 levels, off the 45 day lay with backfigs that win it easily. Problem is: The tab is synonymous with Dorf horses who more often run worse after the lay than they did before it. The Mandella shipper looks suspect too dropping 3 levels as the second choice, again with a tab that doesn't fit his profile for success. Both steams have the "please claim me, you're getting a bargain" look that as a lover of low level races, I dislike.

I prefer to follow the money and the strike while the iron is hot m.o. for win now connex that like to bet.

Gryder takes the ride. Best turf jock on the grounds.

Prime power has him ranked 4th & he's not ranked in the top 3 of any brisnet categories. Therefore, an honest price can be hoped for. Wonder if any of the drf selection brats pick him. Playing at 4-1 or better.

Well, that was a bit unlucky. The 6 horse bore out badly when Trapper's Reward was moving between horses, forcing her head to jerk sideways to the right, stopping her momentum. She regained her mo several steps later, came running again and narrowly lost the photo for place. If unimpeded she had a chance to win at 7-1. There was an inquiry, but since the 6 finished behind all the horses she impeded there was no change to the order of finish. She ran good. I'll not know if it was good enough.

I have used Twinspires.com and have never had a problem collecting winnings. Drfbets (the Daily Racing Form site) has a pretty decent first bet bonus running right now.

it obv wasn't

I always used twinspires.com but before the derby I signed up for drf bets and received my $100 bonus instantly as soon as I made $100 in bets. I prefer twinspires platform a little bit more but either work great for me, and never had a problem with getting my money out.

HE'S BACK!



The great Frankel returns to action today at Newbury.

Any opinions on the preakness today?

Assuming no issues with Bode coming out of the Derby, I can't see how he loses today. He's the only speed.

I have Creative Cause +665 to ship it and Creative Cause -125 vs WTDW fwiw. Let's gogogo gray horse!

What a horse, just destroyed the field again. He might be getting better which is a scary thought.
