I was using the first one we got and saw a post and everything was different.

Good evening Everyone:

Greg, I hope that you don't mind me posting this. It is simply in testimony to your Best 5 Program (The Big Purple!!) In all honesty, I didn't have the chance to look at it until after the fact. Just took out the scratches and voila. To quote Russell Crowe from the movie the Gladiator "Are you not entertained"? Ha! Hah!!

8 out of 9 race winners including the Late Pick 5 which came in at $795.00 for the 50c play. Not at all too shabby!! How many times have you seen this? Excellent program and virtually no capping at all as Greg has said so many times before. FG012821.pdf

I have a spreadsheet each day I decide to play the horses and have split it up into what i get out of Trainer Moves, Best 5 and Platinum Power.
So many time the Best 5 is on fire like you mentioned and the other 2 I use to look for some good odds and when I see The Big purple agreeing with me I bet it....
Am just starting to play around with some pick 3's and 4's lately to see what I can come up with doing comparisons between the 3..... I have hit a couple to keep me very interested indeed.
These tools are definitely great and point out plenty of things I would never have looked twice at....

[Vinnie]

Hey OzYank:

Excellent and wise post. Review yourself constantly with the tools that you use, determine what is working at the ovals that you most like to play, and, if you feel very confident and arrive at the positive affirmation you seek in the way that you handicap, POUNCE!!

Vinnie !
You got 8 out of 9 winners . Was that first place winners or one out of the top 3 picks ?

[Vinnie]

Hey cloud9:

That was out of the Top 3 selections.

5 Top program selections won.
3 2nd program selections won.

Race #4 was a loss where the winner failed to appear in the Top 3 program selections.

Okay....I'm back from my little vacation and it's business as usual.

Good work, Vinnie...and Oz, I can tell... you will be--if not already, a successful horse player. You aren't afraid to study-keep records--AND think outside the box.

Anyone who has TM ver. 14 or lower...shoot me an email with your
current e-address...and I'll get one out to you ASAP.

One other thing: if you're expecting an email (from me or anyone else) have the sense to check your SPAM FOLDER. Half the stuff I get is in spam...and much of that I WANT.

I find it difficult to understand, in this day and age, for someone to order a digital link via email--and never bother to check their spam folder. I'll get a notice a week later that they never got it--although I have software that tells me when the link was delivered.
I'm not speaking about the guy from a week or so ago--this occurs regularly.

Okay, I had to get that off my chest .

Good luck,

-NCG

So did you win on your casino vacay?

[Vinnie]

Welcome back Greg:

Hope you had a great time while on vacation! Now, back to the business at hand of making a few extra bucks on the ponies!!

Big Purple Strikes again. I apologize for posting the card again Greg . I just got in for the Late P4 this evening at CT 01-30. I'll be damned the Best 5 Crushed the entire card once again at Charlestown this evening literally running the table and going 8 for 8. I only wish that I had gotten in on time to play that Late P5. Of course, God willing there will be other days for such things!!

This included a Late P4 for $1 that paid 603.80.
A Late P5 for a $1 that paid 3,269.50 and a
$1 dollar P6 that paid 2,939.00

Very Very Nice Greg!! On Race #5 the #7 was scratched and on Race #6 the #2 Delayed Engagement were each scratched. For some reason if the race is less than five furlongs I don't have the ability to scratch the horses that aren't participating.

Wonderful Stuff Greg! When Best 5 is Hot it kind of reminds me of the old Jerry Reed song, "When You're Hot, You're Hot"!!

I'll give you a tip Vinnie on those 4.5 furlong races that you cant scratch the horses. What I discovered is if you select a different race that has the same amount of horses or more then you go back to the 4.5f race it keeps the horse numbers in the scratch box.
Then you just doubleclick that number and you will notice it treats it as a scratch when you run your consensus report etc.
Only time you are out of luick is if one of those 4.5f races has more horses listed than any of the others.

Nah...I didn't do much in the casinos. First day (Tue) I hit a $1400 signer on a slot machine. I took the cash I brought with me and put it in that little room safe hotels have in your room closet.

My plan was to just use the house money after that.
By noon the next day I was back raiding the room safe. I had almost gone through that windfall in less than a day.
I gave up the one-armed bandits and , with my laptop, I sat at the race book without adding to my bankroll before they closed up.

Anyone play this spot play at Aqueduct today? I wish I had...
It seeks out Trainer/Jockey teams that are profitable together. Take a look at SEVEN LILLIES in the 8th--WOW! $40 payoff!

One tip: If he checks out otherwise---consider strongly a horse with a 300+ Platinum Power Number at any price over 4-1.

[NorCalGreg]

Thomas, Pandy, and BigAl99...you have unopened mail. If you received your upgrade previously--do the Christian thing and buy another program
