Robin's Destiny (#8, 15/1) is entered Parx Racing on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2020 in Race 10.

[NorCalGreg]

I know I show this play alot...but I gotta tell ya it's soooo sweet to win without doin' nothin!
...on most of my programs you can sort the top-2 Platinum Power into a list of the top-2 power horses per race. The method is simply look for anything 10-1 or better, on the list. I've tweaked it a little to attempt better accuracy but it stands alone with no adjustment necessary.

Today was sweet @ Parx--was only one play (in the 1st race) DONNIE BRASCO who (as the only method play) paid an even $15.00 to win.

[NorCalGreg]

After all my misspent youth @GGX...see if I learned anything.

LONGSHOTS WITH A CHANCE:

1ST JAZZ STREET 12-1
2ND WATCHFUL EYE 10-1
3RD REGAL LADY 5-1
4TH HAWK'S RISING 20-1
5TH GOPREACHIT 12-1
7TH ON ICE 10-1

MAIDEN METHOD SELECTIONS:

5TH MARVELOUS MARVELLA 6-1
5TH FICTIONAL 20-1
5TH LA REINE'S LEGACY 6-1
7TH ON ICE 10-1

Good Luck figuring out what to do with those 5th race maidens.

I keyed LA REINE'S LEGACY w/ the 3 others in (including longshot a 5th race tri.


ONE OF THE MYSTERIES OF HORSE-BETTING

You ever notice a horse that will look great (on paper)...but just refuse to win? They'll burn up a ton of money in the process. Then FINALLY...when the hapless bettors just give up on the horse-- he wins.

This isn't a handicapping method, so to speak...more of a gut feeling or intuition. There is such a horse entered today @ GGX:

7TH RACE #7 BILLTOWN BANNER 10-1

Another proven money burner--with no less than five 2nd-place finishes in his last 10 starts. If the crowd gives up on him, I'll take that bet. Besides Billtown's trainer is $$$$$.

[NorCalGreg]

Didn't do much at all yesterday. Did notice a couple of those Cramer Maiden plays today:

GPW 4TH GRAN PATRON 12-1

DM 6TH MOJO MARIA 12-1

[NorCalGreg]

Also take a look at CONFORTO 12-1 in the 7th @ AQ. This horse seems to have great tactical speed--so why only 2 lifetime wins? With new trainer M Maker & Morales aboard...he could turn it around, even at this high level.

Hey, Donnie Brasco-Nice hit! Forget about it.

Top E-1 E-2 for DM and GGX, just posting for amusement and see if we do any good.







Good Luck,

P1/P2 morning line play had a very good day at DMR yesterday, 3 plays, 2 won and the other finished a hard charging 2nd and is a horse to watch next time out

Race 3 - Rocking Redhead paid $33.40

Race 7 - Quick Finish finished quickly, just missed getting up at wire and is a horse to watch next out

Race 9 - Moving Fast did just that down the stretch and paid $19.20

I used to do well with that play at TUP, DM, and Parx. I went on an extended losing streak with the play @ TUP, and haven't used it much lately.

These figure to have a shot at Parx today:

3RD SHORELINE 8-1
5TH FOUR SEASONS 5-1
6TH SHERO 7-2
8TH NOBLE KENT 15-1
10TH TWO CARAT 3-1

[NorCalGreg]

Just so no one thinks ol' NorCal is pulling some slick sh*t:

I didn't realized the 3rd @ Parx was just starting...I posted as they were crossing the wire.

My plan was to post my selections and then bet --I was too late obviously to bet the 3rd.

Here's the spot play:

[NorCalGreg]

MAIDEN DROPPERS
CDX
6TH RACE #1 MEAN MACHINE 10-1
6TH RACE #4 SO DIALED IN 6-1

LONE SPEED
GPW
4TH RACE #1 FIGO 6-1

10th RACE #8 DANGEROUS EDGE 5-1

GPW
6TH RACE #5 PRINCESS BETTY 12-1

WOX
3RD RACE #1 NANTUCKET RED 6-1
4TH RACE #2 FIRST SPRING 10-1

Good Luck

Last race at Laurel has a Maiden/Rider Switch dropper:

9TH #7 FULL DINNER JACKET 12-1

+ maybe a saver exacta with the huge fav #4 REASSURED 1/5 over the #7

-NCG

[Harmonicaslim]

Full Dinner Jacket $45.00!

[NorCalGreg]

I usually avoid Laurel since I doubt I've ever won there, and seems like half the entries are scratched every day.

I have 3 spot plays I believe are actually straight up winners. Of course the plays are rare (maybe 4-5 a week) total.

It was pretty slim pickens for any of my method plays today-so took a look at Laurel and boom! there was full FULL DINNER JACKET in the 9th. Had another winner @ GPW...was 6-1 when I bet. He won and paid a whopping $8.40
