You are a good student of Psychology Thask.

to keep an eye on the number of furlongs the horse worked out ..vs the number of days

on Sunday, Churchill, MCL 10k, last race of the day, long shot came in 2nd place...on cheap mcl, trainers shy away from working out the horse, thinking that the horse might break down during training...so if the horse actually works out,like 3 or 4 times over the last 3 weeks, it is actually a sound horse.
This was the only horse that worked out few times.

Amoss horse won the race, but it was a huge dropper from mcl 30k to 10k...

Horse was ITM 3rd race back, last two races out of the money. Odds 9-1 minimum, preferably last race finished within 8 beaten lengths, preferably both last two races. He wants last race to have been in a month more or less.
He sits likes a sphinx until he gets his odds. Seen him cash prices in the 60-100+ range. Will play wps if odds warrant it. He's a patient guy and has all his possible plays written in a notebook along with his Daily program.
He also uses this play for simulcast at Chile.

Gonna try this angle on the in the upcoming Race 9 at Belmont. Contessa/Castellano gives me hope in what looks like a wide open race. Will report back with results.

Ran 2nd for most of the race, was passed in the final 1/16th to finish 4th.

Another one of fav angles

3 year old

1 start at 2.

Bet down in that start past 5-1 at a major track.

And ran out.

First start as a 3 year old should be well meant

Today in 1st race at Parx. #1-Refuseing-laid off since April and claimed for 12500 in Tampa. Today's race for 20,000 at 6f. My handicapping pointed me to the #4-Bud Fox at 2.4-1.

They ran #1-$41.40-14.60-9.80
#4-placed 4.40
Exacta paid 176.20
I forgot to add, that Klesaris, put a 16% jockey on. Vargas kept him on the rail the whole trip, slow start, got steadied on the turn and surged in the stretch to win by 4-1/2l's.
Would be glad to buy RR a drink or two after that one.

That's my angle. I'm betting it blind at Churchill on Twilight Thursday.

I did glance at the entries and boxed the 5, 7 in the exacta in the same race. #7 is Uncle Mo daughter.

Crossing my fingers...

Horse wins or places at a mile and a 16th, cuts back to 7 Furlongs next out.

A 27-1 shot wins at Belmont. Fits this angle. A shame I didn't use him

[thespaah]

-Blinkers on/off first time
-Sprint to route going longer first time
-Turf pedigree. dirt to turf first time.
-Off track success pedigree. Off/wet track first time
-7f to one mile. Lone speed.
-second off claim, same or one level higher/lower/
-Second off layoff if first was off the board finish or in money but beaten more than 3 lengths....The idea behind that one is the first off the layoff was a 'tightener'...Must be same level or condition
