Smile My Grain of Salt Picks

Hi everyone

Considering that my track record at various tracks in the US and Canada (i.e. Woodbine) is spotty at best, I don't even know why I'm here. I don't do daily doubles, or exactas or pick 3's or 4's or anything like that. Just straight bets.
So without further ado, here are my picks for Woodbine, Sunday July 17.

I am definitely not a professional handicapper.



First Choice Second Choice

Race #1 Il Malacchio Musical Ride

Race #2 Mr. Rudy Armstrong

Race #3 Velocitor Poulin in O T

Race #4 Cerebro Mt Logan

Race #5 Bright Devil Grandson

Race #6 Souper Watson Lucky Curlin

Race #7 Hidden Honor Tour of Duty

Race #8 Downy Boy There's No Joe

Race #9 Uncle Joe Long Pond

Race #10 More Than Happy Kodiak Mamba


I'm going to base the payoffs (if there are any) on $2.00 WPS (to keep it simple I guess).


I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people looking at this would disagree with me, and that's o.k. If you like, you can laugh your heads off right after Woodbine is done with their races.

(Sorry about the set up. I don't know how to center everything.)

Thistledown July 18

Didn't do so good at Woodbine on Sunday, did we? One win, and that was Poulin in O T in the third in our Second Choice column. $14.50 on a $2.00 WPS bet.


Let's hope there's more at Thistledown today:


Race #1 Reinsure

Race #2 Mannford

Race #3 Purchase Point

Race #4 Surf and Turf

Race #5 Kennedie Sky

Race #6 Blazing Desire

Race #7 I Wanna Win

Race #8 Chillville


Yeah, I know, just one column. Maybe I'll keep doing that.


(Wonder if anyone will take a look at my picks and shake their heads at my ridiculous choices.)

Smile Parx July 19

Maybe I should call this Horses not to Pick. One winner at Thistledown yesterday, and that was I Wanna Win, and I guess he did want to win.
I'm posting my choices in this forum because I have nothing better to do.

If you want to find a winner, do not come here. You will be disappointed.
And now, let's find some losers... er winners at Parx:


Race #1 Enforcer
Race #2 Ambitiously Placed
Race #3 Irish Exit
Race #4 Verrazano Bridge
Race #5 She's Got Game
Race #6 Hidden Cache
Race #7 Puttheglassdown
Race #8 Alfatei
Race #9 Gone Inzane
Race #10 Fortheluvofbourbon
Race #11 Arrivederci


Pretty bad, isn't it? Well, we'll see when I come back here tomorrow.

You're fine.
I never saw anyone come out of a casino after dumping $50 in the slots or buying losing lottery tickets forcing themselves to explain why.

Yesterday, Ambitiously Placed in the second looked like a lock and was really the only favorite that was not worth taking a stand against. Try this, make two sets of picks, your regular picks, and another set where you only pick horses that are 4-1 or higher on the morning line. See which one has the higher ROI.

Hey, maybe I'm being a little hard on myself. My pessimistic nature, I guess.

Spunky Zoey
Our Sweet Girl
C C's Warrior
Fifth Element




Champagne Toast
Button Candy
Bourbon Currency
Arctica
Abby the Bull Dawg

Charles Town July 21

There is bad news and good news. Yesterday I picked four winners at Penn National. Princess Runaway, Hard to Be Humble, Allison K, and C C's Warrior all won. Cheapo prices, but a win is a win. In the second column... well, the less said the better.


Let's travel to Charles Town today. Maybe we'll have better luck in the second column:


Dial Me Maybe
Got Floffy
Lookingforanewspot
Change Your Luck
Stretch the Truth
Taxit
Love to Zoom
Sayyestothelady




Hot Carol
Bucks Lodge
Dimitri's Romance
Cristiano's Boy
Scaredy Day
Rocket J
Power Sonde
Church Key

Back to our regularly scheduled program tomorrow.

Unhappy Death in the Family

This is Laureen Sanderson, wife of Martin Sanderson. My husband passed away at the age of 72 early this morning, so he will no longer be coming to this forum. He loved horses, and he loved handicapping. Back in the late '70's when we got married, he told me he was thinking of going into the racing business, but it just didn't work out.


Good luck to all the handicappers and continued success with Pace Advantage. I will now sign out.

I am so sorry for your loss. I am happy for the time when he was with us and share his horse selections.
R.I.P.
