[positive4th]

........and my tickets came in at I believe $490, so I guessed just about right before-hand..............here's to hoping!!

[positive4th]

OK, let's do a live follow along...............

The bettors are POUNDING the :9: in R9, and I have that one as a back-up, but still would like others to beat it. But just in case John Q. Handicapper is right in this case, I'm putting 2.5 Units to WIN on the :9: in R9...........if she wins, I'll turn an OK profit and still have several tickets alive.

[positive4th]

OK, the good news.................we got an $11 (or so) winner home with the :1: in R10, AND we're still alive to every single horse in the Travers.

The Bad News: In order to get there, we MUST get the :4: home in R11. That's the only route to the pay window from here.

I guess that's why its called gambling.

So here's my hedge:

1 Unit Daily Double (R11-R12)

:3: :5:
:2: :4: :7: :11: :8:

5 Units to WIN on :4: in R11

If the :4: wins, those bets will about wash out and I'll be alive to everything in the Travers.

If the :3: or :5: wins, I should be alive to a decent Overlay in the DD with my "A" Horses from the Travers.

If anyone else wins, I'm out that much more $$$, and I miss the P4, DD, and my Win Bet.

That's life!!
