Yeah...there ya go, KF. I looked it up afterwards.

I think New Orleans was a new franchise around the time they drafted kicker Russ Erxleben #1 (he may have even been top pick overall that year)

Boy did that blow up in the Saints face. Hard to figure how a guy can kick so well in college....and a total bust in the pros.

If you ever decide you want to make some EASY money...my Dad, God Bless him--he was big in the porta-potti business--sh*t houses he called 'em.

Anyway a few days before he passed on, he called to me to come closer--he was finally going to tell me how he got rich in the sh*t house business.

He said "son..here's the secret....DON'T EVER EMPTY THEM"

Your Dad knew a sure thing when he saw one. 😎

What do you think of changing to a low Pct. jockey?

[NorCalGreg]

Yeah--the jockey was a concern, but not knowing the trainer and his +$1.51 ROI in this situation was encouraging..(1st after claim)










Mt Haynesfield, on the other hand dominated this incredibly weak allow1 field. I once played 100 races, betting only horses like Mt Haynesfield who topped the EARLY AND LATE POWER categories.

It took awhile to get to 100 races, but yeah it was a profitable, positive venture.

I just want to say, Greg. You software is great.

Have been using profitably on the New Jersey exchange for a long time laying horses

Continues success.

Great, Al! It's supportive friends like you, Trace and everyone that makes this enjoyable. 😎

Since I've been gone awhile....seems like we have newbies, or probably lurkers who decided to join in.

So...I wanted to let ya'all know how you can make it a lot easier on yourself with a couple of these tools I'm about to show you.
I made them smaller than actual size because Mike will say something, eventually--and I guess it's also just a little bit tacky.

This is my program for Exotics. I'm pretty proud of it, and have won more than my fair share with it.

On your left are the "Pick-9all" and if you're in a Tri, super or whatever mood--and you like a horse say in the first race--just click that button for the contenders, and construct your tickets that way.

Now the PICK-9 ALL...Is just what it says. Playing a pick-4?
Exotic bets handicaps and arrives at 3 contenders per 9 races.
I cant do it here--no room--but at home or at the track you can print out 4 different PICK-9 cards. Handicapped bu ABILITY, T/J$, PLATINUM POWER, & finally PRIME POWER. Trust me--the entire card becomes very clear when you can see everything at a glance.It's almost like you're playing a Pick-5 or whatever for the first time LOL I just realized I had Gulfstream data--they run 10-11 races a day. The PICK-9 stops at...well, 9. Not to worry--you just click on race 10 and get the final two races

On the next box I'll show you just two of the PICK-9 contender cards and you'll see what I mean.

[NorCalGreg]

well this wasn't that easy, but you can get a feel for what it's like. and what a help these cards can be



Well dangit I realized I put the same card up twice LOL. BUT---THE BEST IS YET TO COME.

[NorCalGreg]

We also have the TIP SHEET, which includes the HOT LIST(like stealing money) the COMP REPORT, VALUE PLAYS, and a very solid CONSENSUS.

[NorCalGreg]

Consensus is already hot

Could you clarify this statement for me. Horse was op no. Power and Late but was 3rd on ES 1 and 2.
Thanks in advance.

Go down the screen and look at SPEED BLAST, & EARLY POWER. He owns those categories.As well as LATE POWER. Usually a horse appearing that dominant... may have seen better days and is in for "fire sale" today. MH was claimed last out by a trainer who makes his living in this situation. He went way up in class--still dominated this lowly field.

Best,
