NHC Mandatory 8: Act Like You are There

One of my life's passions is to have a seat at the NHC.

And as they always say "Act like you are there". So...., here goes.


R2 Oaklawn:
An uninteresting race overall outside of it being contested between 11 horses. I see 5 to 7 free kicks. I look for max effort for and the Asmussen barn.
//


R7 Tampa Bay Downs: I like the claim and roll move with the . Maybe the for 2nd as my alternate?
/

R9 Gulfstream
Love the . Can't see anything else in this race.


R11 Gulfstream:
Race full of career Maidens that can't run a lick. Toss up between the and IMHO. Give me the better jock.
/

R9 Oaklawn:
Good race for barns sending out horses that win them money. Maybe the toughest race of the 8. Fell for the supposed "class" of the to get through here. Certainly not convinced. Good betting race.
/all

R7 Golden Gate:

Near bottom end claimer at GG. Almost assuredly chalk, but that is zero fun this late in the game.


R8 Santa Anita:
Nice race of next out Derby hopefuls. Who is worth a shit? Liked Emboldened's race the best. No way we get 7/2 here.


R9 Santa Anita:
Good race. Not the best animals, but good enough. I see the last waking up the on the turf last out. They are sticking to it, and so am I. Wide open.


In a nutshell, I haz


Much the best to all our friends on here playing live tomorrow. (I'm more than jealous).

What is the bet required for each race in this?

Sounds like a fun play-along, cranking up the furnace and pretending those snow piles outside my windows are palm trees.

No idea. All I know is a $10K bankroll and these are the mandatory races for each contestant.

I think it is a fun play along, because I'll be there some day.

oak r2 BESTED

Tough race. I picked this one because of the tote action in the doubles, and I thought he did more running than the in their last race.

Not to sound like Tony Robbins, but you are good enough.

I've tried to get into this field 14 times. 3 times I was right there waiting on my flight to Vegas.

We all lose. I'll be there. Just a matter of time.
