Spot Plays Part Deux

[Dahoss9698]

Same idea as last time, with an addition. 100 plays over the next few weeks, each play will represent a $2 win bet on the horse selected.

When applicable I'm going to try and include horses I think to use with the plays in exactas, or if a pick 4 seems manageable.

Just a note:
The 3rd at Belmont - Pelago is the :8: horse.

Good Luck on your picks.

[eastie]

i suggest betting these 'hoss hosses Win & Place, as the few that don't win usually run second at a good price. At this rate I will remodel the other 2 floors of my house, as new paint, ceilings, window treatments, wall to wall, ac are all courtesy of mr Hoss. Stay on the good foot Hoss

Good Luck with this round! :ThmbUp:

Indiana Downs

6th- #:5: Al Basha (turf only)
8th- #:1: Edisto Beach (turf only)

[Dahoss9698]

I knew I blew that pick 4 the minute I put it in. Leaving the winner of the 8th out in (who loves the mud and has a rider that can actually get out of the gate) was beyond stupid. At least the winner of the 7th made up for it.

Both races at Indiana Downs off the turf. So I'm changing the plays.

[Casino]

7th race Grand Roja-one of my favorite angles in racing,breaks maiden ,trainer enters in a race way over his head(horse still maintains form) horse doesnt pick up his legs,drops back to a realistic class and romps at 9/1.Go dahosss!

I for one appreciate when someone posts their picks, for those of us still learning how to handicap it helps when you try and see what it is they like about a horse. It has helped me expand my thought process and speed up my development, if it wasn't for threads like this and forums like PA, i would still be leaving the track swearing under my breath......... now it's every other time!

[newtothegame]

at least your down to "every other time".... lol:faint:

[Tony L]

Hey Dahoss where you at? I hope you weren't raptured?

[HoofedInTheChest]

Someone on here managed to piss him off, so he stopped posting his picks....

[MONEY]

Someone on here managed to piss him off, so he stopped posting his picks....
It was Bigmack. The posts have since been deleted, but Bigmack posted some childish name calling on the Disappearing Thread? (showthread.php?t=83350) aimed at Dahoss9698. Bigmack then came on this thread and began to harass Dahoss9698.

[Tony L]

You must be kidding. Dahoss come back, we need you to make some money. I do, anyway. Betting your plays is the only way I've been able to make any money betting horses. :bang:

[RichieP]

Hey Dahoss
I hope all is ok with you and yours, come back and make some selections man.

I don't bet anyone's picks but my own BUT one thing I learned from my mentor Jim "The Hat" was to pay attention to anybody who was SUCCESSFUL in their particular field and that includes racing. He said there is MUCH to learn from successful folks who do things differently than I might and to always keep an OPEN MIND because learning never stops.

When I have time YOU are only 1 of 3 people who's picks I will studiously go back over and dissect to LEARN things to improve my play. Thank you for that!

Agreed, if he reads it. One of the very few I will take a second look at. Have learned to never leave his picks off my tickets completely too.

This section just won't be the same without.

first thing i know about horseracing is that god has it in for all horseplayers.

you got nothing to be ashamed of, the horse selections that you make can have long losing streaks in them, but in the long run you will overcome it. i looked at your picks the last few days and they all made lots of sense to me except you wound up on trainers that hardly ever win. from past experience those guys tend to make lots of mistakes getting a horse into a race and they tend to need much the best horse to get to the camera.

I don't really agree with your point here, but it also speaks to how I play. I'm not looking to smoke out a $4 Pletcher or Baffert horse.

i have always said whatever you think about you bring about

just make this a great day

[thaskalos]

Apologize?

According to my calculations...Dahoss is still showing a +14% ROI, even after this "losing streak".

Since when is a 14% profit a reason for an apology?
