Apparently I am way to stupid to google the starting time for the main race of the Japan Cup in Tokyo on sunday, because I can't find it. Can anyone help out? Thank you very much!

HOL Race 9

Matriarch G1 Stakes:

#1 3 Quiet Oasis... presents value at anything 8-1 or above, IMO. some OK works, looked great off the turf his first race off the layoff at SA last time out. Mike Smith aboard. Think he could be maturing at the right time, and maybe be the horse to beat.

I'll be keying the 3, and playing it strong to Win/Place if odds are good.

The Matriarch was a great race today. Another good one today was the Grade II All American at Golden Gate Fields - race 8. If you didn't catch them definitely check out the race replays. plus you get a jockey spill in the Matriarch!

Is there anyone posting in here who does well? I just see kevroc posting mostly and he is down. At least he gives an honest assessment of results but have always wondered about Horse Racing. My friend likes going to the track but it seems like the juice in this arena is too much for anyone to really overcome longterm. Do people do it? I feel like there should be some correct bets or at least better bets. Win bets? Place bets? Show bets? Exactas?

Seems its somewhat situational. For example, a horse going off at 3/5 then it might make sense to play it to place rather then to win since the payouts are so close and you get an extra spot to cash. In the past if I went with him I'd normally just see where the late money goes and follow. Worked better then my old system of betting the favorite.

only the mentally demented can play horses their whole life.

Very Respectfully,

i don't bet the quarter horses but i do bet the 4 1/2f thoroughbreds at Los Alamitos, sometimes. those are pretty fun and go great with a few beers.
It was a quarter horse and AFIK the horse is fine. The gate actually opened normally, but the horse just broke towards right side and stood there after he hit the bars. It was truly bizzare.

kazor - kevroc plays a lot of pick 4/6. it can take a long long long time to get a good sample and start to realize expected value. you count heavily on the big score and that doesnt come often. variance is out of this world, really. you got to have a big bankroll and bigger sense of humor.

also, i'm sure others are running worse than me, but if a jock gets unseated, a horse pulls up and gets vanned, or loses in the final 10 yards - its highly likely i bet that horse. for ex., see race 4 at golden gate fields today (guess who i bet) :-(

Vann Belvoir continues to do good work training down in California, I see him picking up more horses every week off of other trainers....its only a matter of time before another northwest trainer is down south for good.... It was fun Vann!


Another Pegasus 2 year old in training sale will be happening up here in February. Last years sale featured 20 2 year olds, this year will have 30.

Mark Dedomenico who was half owner to Blind Luck (and bought her outright at the KEENOV) Has a large property out in Redmond Wa (suburb of Seattle, home of Microsoft) He has turned it into a state of the art horse training/rehabilitation facility. Really is a marvelous complex. I think its great the efforts he is going to to support local racing, and get more people interested in the sport.

Theres a few horses that were bought out of the local WTBOA sale, but most were bought at the KEESEPT sale.

Couple notables:

A colt by Elusive Quality that was a 55000$ purchase at KEESEPT
A filly by Hard Spun that fetched 55000$ as well at KEESEPT (very strong looking cross on this one)
A colt by Pleasantly Perfect purchased for 47000$ at KEESEPT (A++ truenicks, February birth)
