HANDICAPPING HEROES -- RESULTS FOR SARATOGA -- 8/5/18

The Handicappers picks were cut in half when Saratoga Race officials decided to not run on the turf Courses in the final two races on Saturday's card and postpone them for a more favorable racing day.  A wise decision, since the rains in that area of New York had the turf course in deplorable condition. Those two races will be run next week, according to track management. Safety first, right?

So, we'll watch for those. There was a lengthy delay between races 8 & 9 because of another storm in the area with lightning.  Here's how the Handicappers did.

All eight of PAULIE'S runners broke from the gate in races 8 & 9. Out of them, he had two seconds and a win. He also hit the exacta in the ninth. A 37.5% "in the money" percentage and 50% of the possible pays. PAULIE turns in 9 points. 

ARCHIE did well with the two races we handicapped, hitting the winners and place horses in each. That's a 50% "in the money" success race and 66% of the possible payouts. He also took both exactas. ARCHIE takes the most points with a nice 14 points total.

We'll see how our picks in races 10 and 11 turn out  and who the overall winner is when these races are officially run.

HANDICAPPING HEROES -- SELECTIONS FOR SARATOGA LATE PICK 4 -- 8/4/18

The Handicappers have quite a challenge in front of them today as they head back
to Saratoga to take on a VERY challenging Late Pick 4. Two Grade I's, a Grade III and
a challenging $100,00 stakes race on the docket.

Rain, rain....go away. These pick were made for a fast track and firm turf. If the weather gets messy, the accuracy here might be a bit off.

I did talk with Scott Harris' wife Jamie last evening. He won't be with us today here at the site or on the HANDICAPPING HEROES Radio Show. He's had another setback (He can't catch a break, it seems). In the hospital for a medical procedure, he fell in his room and may have cracked a few ribs.

Keep him in your
positive thoughts and prayers!

Here we go!
