Three weekend cards left in the season, including tonight. 10 races tonight, turf firm, two races (1st and 4th) on the all weather.

Good luck, everyone!

Race 1: Class5, AWT, 1200 meters

Tough race on paper. Gonna play the :9: dog, swinger savers with the :1: :7: :12:

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 1 results: :4: :1: :8: :5:

Winner parked outside, came down the outside at 22-1.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 2: 1000 meters, turf, Class 4

Looks a bit chalky. Will try to split the top pair with some longer prices in a cheap tri.

:5: :7: with :1: :2: :3: :10: :12: :13: with :5: :7:

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 2 results: :11: :14: :13: :6:

Hmmm. Figures. Chalk fades, 42-1 shot on top, nine year old. Tough to figure.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 3: Class 4, 1400 meters on the turf

Gonna try and beat the chalk with the :5: who likes the distance, and the :8: who's getting action on the tote (with jockey change) after doing nothing much in three starts. Cheap tri part wheel:

:5: :8: with :4: :5: :8: with :2: :4: :5: :8: :10: :13:

Small each way on the :5:

Race 3 results: :4: :6: :5: :12:

:5: got a nice trip, but not good enough. Chalk wins after long shots in the first two races. :6: a nice price at 30-1, :5: at 22-1 and pays 3-1 to place.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 4: Class 4, 1200 meters, on the all weather

Chalk :9: looks tough is there is an outside bias, as he's in the 12 post. Kinda like the :6: , but these all weather races are not my strength. Small swinger :6: :9: , small each way on the :6:

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 4 results: :11: :3: :9: :5:

Exciting finish. Three chalks. :6: wound up last.

What's with all the 中文 on the telecast tonight? I speak a little Chinese but having both at the same time is a little overwhelming :confused: Anyone else getting the feed with both Chinese and English? Good luck to everyone playing tonight!

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 5: Class 4, 1600 meters on the turf.

Like the :2: . Saver swingers with the chalk :4: and the :8: coming back after a freshening and getting bet.

yeah, that's a problem that happens now and then - twice in the last three weeks I believe. :(

Here's the link to the race radio in English. Lags about 10-15 seconds behind the video, but worth it for the lack of mental stress....

Looks like they fixed the feed.

Race 5: :9: W/P

Good luck Pirate!

Oh. Looks like it's fixed now. Single audio stream in English on both Twinspires and TVG. I've always wondered if the TVG coverage on DISH has this issue. I don't have satellite or cable TV, so I don't know.

Good luck to you CorE.

Race 5 results: :4: :5: :8: :9:

Chalk wins drifting out, the :2: got chopped a bit at the top of the lane and didn't get a clean hole. Doesn't look like any swoopers are making much headway tonight.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 6: 1000 meters, class 3 on the turf

Gonna take a small each way bet on the :7: , trying the HK circuit for the first time, and getting a favorable outside post. Clocker isn't crazy about him though. Saver omni with the :1:

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 6 results: :9: :4: :2: :10:

Winner at 15-1, chalk nowhere.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 7: 1400 meters, class 3, 1400 meters.

Like the :2: . Chalk :1: looks tough. Playing the :3: as my longshot.

Cheap tri p/w:

:1: :2: :3: with :1: :2: :3: with :1: :2: :3: :4: :5:

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 7 results: :1: :8: :12: :3: :2:

Argh. Magic Man wins again.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 8: 1200 meters, class 3 on the turf

Playing the :3: at 3-1 to outlast the chalk :6:

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 8 results: :1: :10: :12: :11:

winner got come late money, went off at 5/2. nice looking win. :3: takes back, rank, and was never in it. ugh.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 9: Class 3, 1800 meters on the turf

Gonna key the :7: in my wagers, with saver Qs/Omnis with the :5: :12:

Very tough, wide open race.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 9 results: :2: :12: :7: :13:

On a day when speed is holding, my selections sure have had a bad habit of going to the rear and trying to come from off the pace. :7: charges late wide for 3rd.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 10: Class 2 on the turf, 1400 meters

Chalk :14: looks tough, but it's the "get out" race, and this week I'm in the hole a bit tonight. I'm gonna take the :12: at 19-1, who has some back class and is cutting back to 7F, after fading late at longer distances.

[Parkview_Pirate]

Race 10 results: :14: :1: :4: :6:

Chalk wins easy, tight for 2nd, :12: gets sixth about another length back - another horse taken back and left with too much to do in the lane.
