These races have become bullshit. The West Coast horses figure to win on the synthetics and the East Coast horses figure to win on the dirt. Class, form, and everything else means nothing.

I am going to have to go with diamond stripes in this one. just too much class. Gotcha gold is interesting as well. I doubt I make a bet becuase I won't like the price on diamond stripes.. but I think he's too good to bet against here

I think whomever wins this race is going to need to be on the lead, or very near the lead. Taking 2 inches of garbage off the top of that surface is going to make it very fast. I think all winners will be front end today. Ill take Bilo. GL

if i'm going to get this I am not going to waste my time posting anything. you are new here, I dont even know you.. dude this is what I do for a living. you have no idea of how I bet obviously if you think I took diamond stripes at 5/2.. i skipped the race.


at 5/2 he's not value.. at 5 and a half to 1 he is.


also I could have sworn he got clipped coming around that turn by a horse on the far outside.. was waiting for an inquiry.

the only wagers I made today were the ones in the sprint, which I lost to Benny and the ones in the F&m sprint, which I also lost. that's fine, you have days like that. it's like the stock market.. sometimes you are right sometimes you are wrong.. i have no s hame in that, and only an idiot would think that you are going to win every race you wager.

this isn't even fun anymore

Yep, he trains War Monger.

I admit nothing - Bill Mott, until last year, had mostly turf stock to train. If Cigar wasn't enough to convince people that he could train on the dirt, Court Vision, Mushka, Z Humor, and all his other current dirt stock should convince people otherwise. He's not training a bunch of Paulson Theatricals any more.

Hey dude, you say you do this for a living, I don't care what you post here or do not post, what you have indicates that you do not know what you are doing when it comes to handicapping. Horse racing has never been close to how the stock market works, nor is it anything remotely connected with how you play poker, but you seem to think so, you are entitled to your opinion, and if you do not like the flack from posting losers, don't post. Where do you get the idea that everyone here cares about what horses you like or do not like?

I may be new here, but I know one thing, for almost every subject posted you have been there and done that, at 23.
