Hey y'all...the other day when I posted of the tracks that I like to play most frequently, I mentioned a favorite angle of mine that works quite well at 5/8th of a mile track, as well as other size ovals.......
I dubbed in "EAL"...Early & Lingering"....The angle is quite simple....Take a horse that was up front/near front within 2-1/2 lengths of the leader for at least the first 1/4 and better yet the 1/2, AND lost 2-4 or more lengths to the leader,by the 3/4 mark, AND, then in the stretch-call to the wire, gained or lost no more than 1-length, through the drive......
Today, Sat. 8/16/08.....It popped up in the 2d Race at Pocono Downs....
The horse "CLOS PEGASE" had a line that was all EAL.....
#5 PP today.......Last race 3 2ns 4-23/4 8o-7-1/2 8-10 6-11...Do you see it.......?
He was up close (within 2-1/2 lengths at the 1/4 and 1/2, then lost 5 lengths to the 3/4, then stayed even in the stretch....
Here is a horse that is well meant, battling for the early lead, getting jumped, then shuffled, and then had steady good pace through the stretch.....Now if his last race or two showed good Form, or if a nice Back-Class horse is beginning to stir again, then you have a very live horse going for you today......
As it turned out this horse was claimed in his last race, FOR HIMSELF, by Mickey Petersen, a top trainer anywhere, and this horse had previously won his last four starts before this EAL race.......and, he is 6 for 22 this year on wins.......
He won and paid $10.20 for win and the ex=$31.80 with the co-second choice, and the 4/5 favorite was off the board ( a closer that was in a race, on a day, when if you weren't up front early, you could forget about closing at all)........The crowd was lukewarm on this horse and went for the closer...haha

Also, the other day the 1st Race at Hazel Park,(Friday 8/15) came up for further scrutiny, and I had suggested a horse, other than the one that was being scrutinized, and he ran well and finished 2d.....but in that race, I had overlooked another EAL horse...The horse that won this particular race.....
The horse that won that race, was #6 HAPPYVILLE. driven by top notch Kevin Wallis.......
his line in last race;...2 2-1 5-3 6-4-3/4 6-4-1/2 3-3/1/4....do you see it ?
This horse was well meant as he made his position, and was within 1 length of the leader at the first call, then at the 3/4's he lost 3 and 3/4 lengths, and then thru the stretch, stayed even with only gaining 1-1/4 lengths to the wire......The race before that, he had the 9-hole, and in his 3d start back, he was up there eary, behind the leader, and got loose too late to get 2d by 1/2 length......So there you have it.....a formful horse with a nice EAL.....
Now in this particular race, He wasn't fooling too many, as he won and paid $5.40 to win and ex- with my previous (before I noticed this EAL) pick @9/5 came back, I think $18 and change.....The price is not the point, as there will be other goodies like this, that will pay way more than these two.....be watchful.........
You can bend the rules a little, but not too much, as it will lose it's content......which is a horse that got into trouble, and showed he still is good , by his even finish........That's the Dish.......
GL with it.....Please, anyone, let me know how you may do with this.......I can't do all the tracks, and as you can see, even when I handicapped this race before hand, I overlooked this horse, as this type of line is easily missed by many, including myself at times......It is one of my best plays, if all other factors are in place.......
humbly....
