Although TUP BOSS - and NEW BOSS were the same at TUP today...here is MVR:



I'm pretty certain the ROI has improved, but will need stats for both, to be positive.

Beautiful...we've been winning so often at Parx, is there any reason to look elsewhere? This tracks runs almost year-round.

Here's the Trainer-Angle spot play for Parx, courtesy of SPEED DEMONS

Sweet Greg!! Sweet!!!

[green80]

yea, you can quit your day job

A little weird there at Penn in the 3rd:

They ran the race--then before they posted official results-they cancelled and refunded the race.

The comment:
After reviewing the replays the stewards declared this race a NO CONTEST because the one, two, three, and
five stalls did not open with the rest of the field

Track announcer didn't mention anything had occurred at the start.

I thought the start looked a little awkward live but watching the replay some of the gates opened a fraction of a second slower. You really had to be looking for it even on the replay, no wonder the announcer didn't pick it up.

The horse is still "live"...rider getting thrown notwithstanding. Depending where he's entered next, should be a good price.

Definitely on my watch list

RAGTIME BLUES reappeared at Parx today:

May be a winner here-can you find it? I chose the two "ET" horses...we'll see

Hey Greg!! I hope that you are well?! Played with the Big Purple over at TAM today (02-02) and the Best 5 was all over it. Won 8 out of 9 races. The only race that it didn't strike was Race 5 which was a "dart throw" of a race with a bunch of Maidens (non-winners) all out of form where the #6 came streaking down the stretch for the win. Excellent Stuff!! Didn't play the Late P4 but, it paid a nice $260.60. Super Stuff!!

Are you talking about the winner from the top three picks of a race ?

Yes, Dennis...you get 3 contenders per race. Thought you have Best-Five? More on that in a minute.

Although I whiffed today...the DOUBLE-BACK and UP AND BACK are a good source for finding longshots.

Also...the EASY MONEY spot play is basically designed to list entries that should be well-bet. They win often, but not often enough to show any long term profit. Here's the deal, though:

With Speed Demons-whatever data for the day you have, always check the Easy Money plays for anything over 5-1. They may simply be a horse that is overlooked by the public-it happens.

Was only 1 Easy Money play at Tampa today:

[NorCalGreg]

Okay, back to Best-Five. One thing real quick-the Top E-1 E-2 spot play also found on B-5, works well at Parx and Tampa. Give it a try.

Vinnie you are the undisputed KING of Best-Five . I mentioned previously, I use the top-2 from the last 4 races at Parx, Tampa, SA, and GPX. Even still, this method hits under 10%...so wager judiciously [don't go nuts]. If you can single any in the sequence-go for it.



Remember, you can easily lose 20 or 30 in a row--until you hit, so gotta keep the wagers as low as possible. This pick-4 at Tampa returned 32 💲8.00 betting units, so keep a separate bankroll for this play.

[Vinnie]

Thanks Greg!! I just know that when you have a longer priced horse in your TOP 3 on a given race, exclude that horse at your own peril. Awesome Stuff the Best 5 Greg. Always keeps you around and right there as far as your general contenders go.
