I'll try a EX (PWHL)5, 6, 8, 10, 12 / 11 in the last race @ Parx.

Then maybe look at MNR this evening.

I've looked at maybe a million pace lines...I actually think I can make decent picks, just by the last 3 pace lines. I'm probably dead wrong, I've never really tried it. I'll give it a shot tomorrow, maybe.

I'm half lit up right now--maybe tomorrow I'll realize that was just the FOUR LOCOS talking. If you don't know what "Four Locos" is...ask the first bum you see on the street.

heya Bob:

I've sent you 3 emails-they all bounced back. Where did you get that address?

Have had problems with it for quite a while-off and on.


Please get a decent address--you know they're free, right?

This is just an experiment with last-race pace numbers. I have a hunch horses that ran almost identical figs (within 3) at each call, could be an indication the horse didn't have to exert himself, and may run even better today.

Of course it depends on the usual fundamentals of handicapping. A horse that's been off for a year, can't qualify. If you simply insist on a Platinum Power number for qualifying...your horse is OK.

Remember this is just a test, -not for betting. Just throwing this out there.

I see my "mystical" pace method wasn't all that mystical. Or good. The spot plays ran either 2nd, 3rd, or out, besides 1 small winner.

Ever notice Mon thru Wed or Thurs there isn't much to get excited about in horse racing? May be a good idea to just take those days off--to avoid burn-out and complacency. Hmmm

Just a couple Horses that may be better than they appear-@GPW

Haven't had much luck today. I'll finish up with Exacta Boxes @ MNR & CTX -picked right off the 3-horse Consensus selections from the BEST-FIVE program. They're posted here-you're welcome to follow along

Also found a long shot in the 2nd @ CTX

2ND RACE JOVIAL JOHN 12-1 I exchanged that one in place of HE'S A GOLDDIGGER

Forgot to mention these are entered in the Horse Tourneys Exacta contests.

Been on vacation and not programming a lot. And haven't felt too great on top of that either. So, since Greg has been so supportive of me, I decided to have some fun and play along with him at CTX tonight. Started in the 4th race.

Having a ton of fun and so relaxing to be playing someone else's picks...

Have played 5 races so $60 out $158.80 back. Not too bad... Still have race 9 to go. The 10 has been scratched so just a box of the 7 & 8.

Thanks Greg Buddy.

Handi:

Awesome Job!! I hope that you are continuing to feel much much better.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[Vinnie]

Late P3 at CTX on 11-25 was $201 for a buck... Very Nice Greg!

[NorCalGreg]

Thanks, guys...and pleasant wishes for happy holidays. Covid already is paying benefits--there were NO trick-or-treaters this year!

Not much today and very little time to spend 'capping. I'm definitely putting Tampa back in the daily tracks to have a look at-thanks Larry. BTW Larry...Gene in Jersey wrote asking about you.
I just told him not to worry...he's probably just on week-long drunk I'm about due for a bender, myself.
