Results from 10/1/16 -- HANDICAPPING HEROES

The Handicappers took on the final five races at Churchill Downs Saturday and had pretty good luck with their selections. The 11th. race stumped everybody...with James Graham knocking home a 24-1 shot and Runhappy didn't run too happy in the 9th. race but the fellows made allowances in that one. Let's see how they did: 

ARCHIE KAREL had 18 of his 20 selections break from the gate...because of a couple of scratches in the 7th race...but got 10 of his picks in the money...for 56%. Give Arch four winners, two seconds and four thirds on the day. He also had a exacta and trifecta. He scores 25 points in the selections before we look at the bonus opportunities. 

-- His Best Bet of the Day did not win...in Runhappy ran fourth in the 9th.

-- His value play...Seeking the Soul...ran third in the 7th race. 

-- His top jock selection for the five races was Julian Leparoux..who did win the 10th race...so he picked up 10 points there.

ARCHIE ends with 35 total points...enough to take the day.

SCOTT HARRIS gave him a run for the money. Scott also had 18 of his twenty picks leave the gate and 9 of his picks hit the board for 50%. Scott had four winners, two seconds and three thirds on the day. He, too, had a exacta and trifecta. Scott scores 24 points in the selections before we take a look at the bonus plays. 

-- His Best Bet of the Day was Runhappy. Out of the money in the 9th.

-- His value play...Bondurant...got scratched in the 7th race.

-- His top jock for the sequence was Corey Lanerie. Although Corey did have a couple of winners on the day...none of them were in races 7-11...so Scott does not pick up any points here either.

SCOTT finished with 24 points.

PAULIE gave you five horses he thought might win yesterday. Of those, three won and one ran third....for a 75% success rate in the money. 

-- His Best Bet of the Day was Noble Bird in the 10th who won...

-- His value play was Tiz A Curve...who ran third in the 11th. 

-- His top jock was Brian Hernandez, Jr. who did win the ninth race on Tom's Ready. 

Paulie doesn't participate in the points totals...but based on just five horses selected, his best bet, value play and top jock...he would have had 30 points. 

(Although he did not get to the track because of extensive UofL sports coverage Saturday...Paulie managed to get a few things down with TwinSpires...including Tom's Ready's win ($11.80), Noble Bird's win ($7.40), a late Pick 4 at Churchill (which blew up in the 11th race) and a late Pick 4 at Santa Anita...where he turned a .50 cent late Pick 4 ticket that cost $60 into a $770.95 winner!)
