This darn program is pretty good---I have to say. It's deadly at Santa Anita on longshots---bet anything 8-1 or higher seems to be the ticket.

This methodology for the 1-2-3 plays are NOT the same as PLATINUM POWER. I noticed a lot of the same horses are on both TOP lists--so put them side-by-side to see if perhaps when they both agree--it's a more powerful method.

This is for MVR today:

Both programs had 6 selections in common---three won. Not bad but the payoffs were so low--they broke even on the day.

Let's try PARX for Tuesday....keep in mind, although this program will hit a lot of lower priced winners---it's the longshots we want

(PS: I post the free tip sheet or power plays on my website now---look in the BLOG---FREE section)

Nothing at PARX yesterday with the EASTCOAST PONYPICKER.

One longshot in the 8th 10-1 DUDES ROCKIN LADY didn't hit the board.

Since I put up the Tampa TIP SHEET on the website--I'll post today's Pony Picker screen for Tampa

For longshots:

2ND RACE MY CANTATA 8-1

5TH RACE GET A ROOM 15-1

8TH RACE THREES ARE WILD 10-1

Don't see any longshot scores with the PonyPicker today @ Tampa. RACE MY CANTATA ran 2nd...GET A ROOM 3rd.

The TAMPA HOT LIST that was posted on the website had a few winners--no big prices though:

Another email today from my best customer--Carmen of NJ. Yes he's a real person with a facebook page, etc. Here's the letter:

"Hi Greg, this is scary. I use your exotics and compare and circle the numbers on the four horizontal picks. I am hitting doubles and pick 3's like crazy. Playing Penn National tonight and just the double . Didn't play the exacta but that hit too. Don't know how the trainer software will improve things but if anyone can I know my man can. Thanks Carmen"

What Carmen is doing is using EXOTIC BETS ---printing out the 4 PICK-9'S...circling horses on more than one sheet--and finding exotic plays. You can use the program in whatever manner you choose, but I've found this is the best way for pick-4's.

Pick 5's get expensive...and pick-6, forget about it. I've played pick-5's and 6's...but for very low amounts. It's more like playing the lottery to me.

Been working on a method the past few days (or at least ONE of the methods) I call B*O*S*S I just like the name...it sounds "intriguing" ...you want to know more about it.

Everything I do...I consider marketing a big consideration. A few people have mentioned all the spot play "buttons" on my programs---but there really is a reason for those, presented in that way.
It's because my customers want them--they like to click a button for a spot play, see what comes up. It's just natural and normal.
I've never seen the high-end stuff--but I'll bet they've got a button or three

So the method coming up is B*O*S*S....as soon as I get it into profitable range. That doesn't mean click the BOSS button and get rich--it means take a look at this situation--it may be to your benefit.
The best idea I've come up with is the HOT LIST. I have to say--that was pure marketing genius. All the marketing genius won't help something that doesn't work--HOT LIST works. It's great, popular, and helps make EXOTIC BETS! a big seller.

So that's what I got going on now---hope ya'all like the ROI calculator---you can thank Steve for that.

If I hadn't hooked up with him...Pace-View wouldn't exist. To tell you how lame I was in the beginning--The original name for Pace-View was Pace-Clicker

Talk with ya'all later--NCG

PICK-9 Prime Power for today @ Oaklawn. This is just one of 4 handicapping modes/with contenders for each race. Makes constructing exotic tickets very easy, with a view of the contenders in every race.

[NorCalGreg]

Anyone playing Santa Anita today? Couple good looking horses on the Hot List--figured I would take a shot.

There's actually a 50-1 ML horse on the Hot List! That might be a first.

Anytime I see a horse 8-1 or better--and ranks #1 in any category--that's usually good for a wager. Can hit some huge longshots with that method.

[NorCalGreg]

Nor real crazy about the thumbnail thing...but

There are three 8-1 shots worth a bet + a ducat on the 50-1 just for luck

5TH RACE---$1 Pick-4:-->> 6,7 / 4,5 / 2,3 / 1
Bets: 8 Total: $8

4TH RACE $1 Pick-3:-->> 6,7 / 1,3,7 / 4
Bets: 6 Total: $6

EXACTA 4TH 7/6,4 $4
EXACTA 5TH 7/4,5 $4

EXACTA 7TH 2,3/2,3,4 $8

4TH 7 $5 WIN
5TH 7 $5 WIN
7TH 3 $5 WIN

Good luck

I started to say---I don't solicit these complimentary emails I get occasionally...but remembered I do ask new users to let me know of any big winners.

Having said that...I'm always flattered by some of the really nice email I get.
