HORSE RACING THREAD - Page 59 - Sports Betting - SportsBetting Strategy and Forum

God, I'm having trouble getting this ticket down to around $200. I'm a little uneasy keying around Between Us on (3). Wondering if keying around the 3 (lucky express) on (7) is any better.

Funny you say that.. if Woodard would have scratched one of his entry horses, I wouldve singled Lucky Express.

My notes say "Fresh n logical" for Lucky.

My concern is that Western Night duels him to death and Yuranga/Woodard pick up the pieces at a price.

I narrowed it down to those three.

betting on horses is fun.

alas, i only do it 3-4 times a year. but it's pretty awesome sitting here drinking a beer and picking a random horse to win every half-hour or so..

Good luck Wyman, if you hit, i hit! (unless the #2 wins the last leg)

I liked the 2b a little bit but, he scratched. The plain #2 has been on the shelf awhile and would need to be very sharp to beat these.

But, posting it now. I got what I wanted with the Woodard entry in the first leg, he named Rechy as the rider of the 1A and Yuranga on the 1. Exactly what I wanted. The #1 "Between Us" is controlling speed, imo and Yuri holds them together wonderfully.

If we survive our single, we have lots of coverage.. *crossed fingers*

3) 1
4) 1-4-6-7-8-9
5) 2-3-5-6-8
6) 2-3-5-7-8
7) 3-7-8
8) 1-3-9-11

1800 combos x .25 = $450 invested

YTD (-3030)

I hate doing this because if it comes back to bite me, I'm gonna junkpunch myself but, I just watched the first race at Beulah and the track is not a slick slop surface, it is a plodding muddy surface. I do not think the Yuranga/Woodard runner in race 7 can close in it. So, I am taking him off the ticket and adding the Charles Lawson entry who are a combined 7 for 13 on wet tracks. And more importantly, stay close to pace.

Amended ticket:

3) 1
4) 1-4-6-7-8-9
5) 2-3-5-6-8
6) 2-3-5-7-8
7) 1-3-7
8) 1-3-9-11

1800 combos x .25 = $450 invested

YTD (-3030)

Looks like the front is continuing to stall, now rain right up till posttime with the heaviest rain around 5:00

Nice stretch drive.

One down, five to go.

EDIT: ugh, six deep to catch the even money chalk... better than losing, i suppose.

Two down, four to go.

Favorites getting slammed at CD, speed is no factor, synthetic to dirt also not much of an issue. Really not going to be a clear cut favorite today. I hate the post position, but I am going to play the 20, paired with 11/1/4 in a bunch of exotics.

Getting wetter and speed may well start looking good again.

As of now I'm on the 14/2-16 with a slew of crap underneath. Heard from a trustworthy insider that the 6 had some wierd undetected sickness that they treated, which is why he freaked last race. So there may be further upside there, just as a random ass tip.
