SARATOGA SUCCESS !!!!!!

If you played my selections for the late PK. 4 at Saratoga....CONGRATULATIONS !

We hit that .50 PICK 4 for $1290.25 and spent $144 to do it. A nice return on initial investment, no doubt....getting back $9 dollars for ever dollar wagered.

I gave you four winners in the four race sequence, two seconds and two thirds. That's a 50% "in the money" percentage -- eight of sixteen.

Race 8 I had (6) PEACEFUL, who paid $7.40 to win. I also provided (7) FIRST WAVE who finished second

Race 9 I had (4) SISTER CHARLIE on top and "the sis"  returned $5.80 to win. I also had (2) Rushing Fall, who finished second and (6) Homerique who ran third.

Race 10 we got a price on (7) RULER OF THE NILE who pulled away in the stretcch after following the pace and won at $27.40 on a $2 dollar wager. (5) Payne finished third.

Race 11 we got lucky with (8) PATRIOT DRIVE, who also used a stretch move from pretty far back to pass them all and  paid $12.60 to win.


As we've said here before...sometimes, it takes a little money to make a little money to make a little money. Don't be afraid to keep a few horses in your betting mix instead of being "cost cautious".

SARATOGA SATURDAY

Opening weekend at Saratoga. The Spa. Maybe the best racing of the year at the Saratoga meet and a great card for this Saturday !

The first two days have provided a slew of upsets at the New York track...nine of the 21 winners on Thursday have scored at odds of 5-1 or better.

I will try to hit the late Pick 4 today at Saratoga. I've produced two days of 3 out of 4 winners in the sequence so far, so we'll see if I can get add just one more winner to the four-race sequence today. A nice maiden allowance race on the turf, the Grade I Diana, a competitive allowance race and ending with a wide open claiming affair await us. Three out of the four on the turf (depending on weather, of course) but clear skies, 0% chance of rain and temperatures in the mid-eighties are PREDICTED...so it should be a grand day for racing around the canoe lake.

Here's the picks: 

RACE 8 -- 5-1/2 FURLONGS (TURF) MAIDEN $92K 

6 - PEACEFUL
7 - FIRST WAVE
4 - SO GRACIOUS
1 - BLAHNIK

RACE 9 -- 1-1/8TH MILE (INNER TURF) THE DIANA $500K

4 - SISTER CHARLIE
2 - RUSHING FALL
6 - HOMERIQUE
3 - MITCHELL ROAD

RACE 10 -- 7 FURLONGS (DIRT) ALLOWANCE $92K

5 - PAYNE
8 - HERSE
4 - UBER KIRK
7 - RULER OF THE NILE

RACE 11 -- 1 MILE (INNER TURF) CLAIMING $25K

7 - PROGNOSTICATION
9 - SYCAMORE LANE
11 - BATTLE OF BLENHEIM
8 - PATRIOT DRIVE

Good luck today, play 'em however you want and remember the objective...to end the day with more money that you started with!
