Hmmm...someone else just said they didn't have a consensus printer on the Best-Five they just received, either. Maybe I got a bad batch of them. I'll check the next one to make sure...and send it to you.

Platinum only prints spot plays--most people use the snipping tool--or you can get something free called "Lightshot" at the Google store -- if you want to print entire races or anything else.

Stand by for an email link.

my apologies

You know, Mike....I saw that beforehand and considered a rare (for me) attempt at a pick-6, but they don't offer that bet there.

So I just left the pick-4 in and didn't go any farther with it.

Always play PMX with Best-Five. They don't run often, but when they do you can pick up some easy cash, I swear.

Someone said SUNLAND was good, too--but I still haven't hit sh*t there.

One PLATINUM longshot today:

GPX 5TH --- SWEEPENO 20-1

Maybe I need to add PMX to the tracks I play.


As far as Sunland goes, it's works well with platinum and best 5. This month just playing the Platinum best bets you had 30 plays that gave you a 1.45 ROI, that is hard to beat. Just skip Fridays, that's QH day.

*Now that you have BEST-FIVE, Lefty....you can start tearin' it up.
I stopped counting long ago, the tracks Best-Five had every winner-every race.
The 2nd and 6th @ Turf Paradise--you could have singled, as they appeared to be overwhelming favorites.
By the time I even looked at the races...Tampa was on their 7th race--so I made a quick pick-3 races 8-10. Didn't really get to see any other tracks.
You can hit these little ones right off the sheet.

[NorCalGreg]

Okay 14 selections--who knows how many will be scratched--from a new method. A lot of short prices, but not all. You can get these plays from any program with the last 3 pace figs. If it bombs, we don't need to discuss it further, I suppose. But I'm optimistic, so we'll see.

I noticed at OP a lot of horses don't have a power #. What does it take to have a power number?

Mike,after all this time--I'm a little surprised you don't know this.

Horses have to show recency (a race in last 50 days), speed (the BL1 and BL2) connections (T/J%) etc.

Most of the horses running at Oaklawn have been on the shelf over 50 days--so they can't get a power rating.

They're still rated in other areas--so they can be handicapped--just not dependent on power numbers as most tracks usually are.

[NorCalGreg]

Still, with most of the horses not having a power number--after 5 races--2 top power number winners @ OPX

Ok, thanks, it was the 50 day rule that I was missing. Sometimes it amazes me what I don't know and still get by.


Just looking for something that works at OP, the Epower was working good-until today.

6 FOR 14--AND LOST MONEY

Anyone see that 5th race--10k Maiden claimer. That winner TOGA looked like Secretariat in the '72 Belmont. He was crossing the finish line while the rest of the field was turning for home. You think I'm BS'ing? (I am--it was like 13 length win)

AND NO ONE CLAIMED HIM!
