Great story, rough weekend for me.
I tossed 4 horses in the Derby and did Trifecta Double-Keys with Zandon and each of the top contenders (Taiba, Messia, Epicenter, Mo Donegal) With 16 in the 3rd slot in each position. [[ ZE/ZE/all-4, ZE/a-4/ZE, a-4/ZE/ZE, etc...]]
similar oaks derby (echo, Secret Oath/ most) similar oaks/Turf/Derby
had goofy horses like Summer Is Tomorrow, Jack, Crown, Tawny feeling that this derby was ripe for some randomness...
TBH didn't even put in my full due dilligence on Rich Strike... not sure that would've mattered (all button or not was the decsision and I may as well have gone that far with positionining myself to win 1000s on 'no hopers' like 2,4,18...
rough rough ... to rub salt, A guy sat down next to me and he's screaming that the
Jack $$$$$ won (never comfortable in the gate and probably not much chance but 21 kinda looks like #2), so for a second of confusion I thought I was good...
Then Sunday, I cut a $12.80 20c SA p6 to $6.40 because "no way i'm gonna be that exact anyway) by removing the winner of leg 1 at the window last second change... everything else comes in pays $2,100 , also miss the superfecta key of the turf race for cold/dismissed Peter Miller/ Ruben Alvarado Sunday ~$600 by 1 punch... frustrating weekend where I had some decent opinions.
Part of what makes the game great, but can be painful
