THURSDAY RESULTS

I handicapped all 11 races and had an OK day. Out of the 44 horses I gave out, 33 had the
chance to "make money"  (win, place or show).  20 of them did just that, for an average of 60%
"in the money"

Six were winners. Based on $2 wagers, they paid $10.40, $8.40, $11.40, $4.80, $3.40 and $7.00

I also had seven horses run second and seven run third.

I hit five exactas. Based on $2 wagers, those paid $42.20, $74.40, $13.00, $17.60 and $43.40.

I don't play trifectas...but I selected two of those, For what it's worth.
