DEL MAR 8/26

[positive4th]

This is, at least in my estimation, one of the toughest DMR Cards at this meet so far.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I see alot of very tough races, and especially with Pacific Classic/Travers Day coming up, I'm definitely not going to bet heavily into a goofy card like this one.

But I love this meet, so I will bet into this card, most likely the Late P4 and a few rolling doubles depending on when I get either home or to the track. :)

The only thing I'm settled on after some early looks at the card is that I'm taking the :2: and :4: in R6 for the Pick 4, with no back-up safety net, b/c I'm gonna need that net in other places!!

[positive4th]

Also leaning toward a single of the :9: in Race 7 with an army of back-ups if I can get to them...........

............Races 5 and 8 are bonafide DISASTERS :) Check out R5.......the entire field has 2 COMBINED starts on Turf, and they're both sprints @ HOL - - the same race 52 days ago, to be exact (BUT its 8f today) :eek:

[positive4th]

the two and four will have to watch out for a late moving :5: or :6: in that one

[spicytomato]

thanx for the warning
this is one of my better tracks to wager
however, i am not an ace handicapper so,
thanks i will spend the day doing something else.


:cool:

[positive4th]

the two and four will have to watch out for a late moving :5: or :6: in that one

yeah maybe, but I can't reasonably account for every pace possibility in every race and do so while keeping costs down..........fact is all 4 of these races could potentially be scrambles to the end, I just felt surer about this one than the others

[positive4th]

taking one extra back-up ticket:

Back-up #8 ($2 base)

:4: :5:
:5: :6:
:7: :9:
:11:

$16

total P4 cost is now up to $238 :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

OK, here's my one live ticket to a MISERABLE P4 that I'd just assume forget :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

It's alive, by the way, to a $2 payout of about $122.............I'd rather light the money on fire then put in that much work and get that little out of it

[positive4th]

BOL man..........this is gonna be one tough Pick-6 to hit, I'm sitting it out in favor of the P4, but I sure hope you hit it!!!


Turned out to be pretty damn simple through 5 legs :)

Not sure if you played this ticket or not, but I hope it hits for you either way!!

[Phantombridgejumpe]

Just for fun and learning how to do P-6's in general.

I know the money might seem high, but when I play I play big so it is realistic for me.

Just watching tonight - the 6th leg was going to be my hardest all along.

[Phantombridgejumpe]

I'm practicing picking on days with nice carryovers...

I have to get better both with ticket set-up and pricing.

The 1 in the 8th was one of the 5 horses I cut when my ticket was too big, but I wouldn't have made a profit if I included them all. My late cuts...

3 in the 3rd
2 in the 5th
6 in the 7th
1 and 5 in the 8th

I'll learn my lessons and be ready when I play for real.
