Definitely on my watch list

This sums it up...

BAD RIDE BY SHIT JOCKEY

instead of getting a lead he looks around to see whats happening before securing his position....

If you noted hosre did have front wraps on....so he was a GO

Thats how you start off. I guess I wasn't the only one who also thought Benefactor was live. Went off half the ML but $22 winner to begin.

I'll stick a 5-spot on Ragtime, in case Trainer Lenin Cruz (yes his first name is "Lenin") can get it done.

Good luck,

Lenin Cruz is the father-in-law of Orlando Noda - so just think Noda if you see Cruz again. No agonies in terms of whether live-looking horse is live.

Good to know, BC....thanks. I didn't really want to comment on the other thread, about this incident, but from what I've read--Irad has a temper. I wonder if..in the heat of the moment, he obviously wanted the lead--but that brand-X no-name rider on Ragtime was ruining his plan. Could he have purposely done that? The way he looked back--and looked again to see the rider go down, suggests that may be exactly what happened.

Doubt we'll ever know...

TAMPA! YES!

Looking at bigger exotic profits--I only play the late pick-4 at GPX, AQ, SA/DM, and of course Tampa. Copied right off the Best-Five Contender sheet.
The reason I play the LATE p-4 is...it seems the bombs come in in the later races. I have no data to back that up--just a hunch.

Typical Raider game....stop the opponent ONE TIME-RIGHT NOW..and win the game--and they can't get it done

Remember that Highest-Speed last race spot play? The one that requires no handicapping whatsoever?

Scored again today:




*remember--double digits ML only requirement

I haven't won a dime at OPX--ever. Couple years ago, I simply gave up. I don't even get the data files anymore, despite having the unlimited data. Think everyone has a track or two they avoid--just doesn't fit your handicapping style. OPX and Turfway are two I avoid like the plague.

Thankfully...if you like cheap claimers (which I do) there is always Parx. Swear I almost had a HEART ATTACK watching the late races there, today.



ARRIVEDERCI won the first--okay off to a great start. GRIMHILDE in the 5th tanked--but the next two: THE GREAT GAZOO 7-1 in the 8th, and CANT STOP THIS MAN 14-1 in the 9th--BOTH just missed by a short neck in the last two races.

I feel the same about OP, I could never win there. Thought I would try something different with the new Demon power # and the trainer spot play and so far so good.

Horse Watch

Horse name No Pasa Nada
Notes sitting on a win
Activity date 12-07-2021
Track Turf Paradise
Surface Turf
Distance 5 Furlongs
Race number 8

Anyone familiar with the "odds pop" theory will notice today will be the 4th consecutive odds drop--after coming off a 3-race odds pop. Rarely see a horse with no win under these "conditions"

What is odds pop theory?

Is that one of the early tom worth tips methodology?

Off-hand I can't remember his name...but he and Tom Worth, in the beginning combined forces to jointly create the Pops And Tips methodology. They may have had a falling out, later--because the "Pops" part was eliminated from the method eventually.

After having studied the TIPS (trainer angles and signals) for many years, along with the ODDS POP...the first thing I look for with PP's are the trainer tip-offs, and any odds pops.

I can say, without hesitation...I learned to handicap from the late, great Tom Worth.
