Kentucky Derby...and Beyond?

Wow Shark, awesome hit, congrats buddy!!

Also continues to confirm my suspicions that I may be the jinx haha.

Oh shush you. Haha. We both hit a nice exacta yesterday, so there's no place for that kind of talk.

It does feel great to hit something big after missing out on some big payouts the last few weeks. Cheers T. That race shaped up well on the numbers to try the super, though, since I was basically treating the #6 horse as a free bingo space. The #5 horse almost screwed me too, as he was right there with it at the finish and gave me a scare.

Haha mostly kidding Shark. More of these types of hits and bigger ones are coming soon my friend.

Damn rights they are. I think we have a really good system here, so as long as we use it right we should be laughing.
 
It does suck that I don't get to share the winnings with you guys, though. This is the 2nd time at this Delta Downs track that that has happened in the last few weeks.

Awesome job, T.
 
Do you have some preliminary thoughts on those @t6p? I literally just pulled my lazy ass out of bed.
 
They're running in the slop today at Aqueduct. I probably should have told you and Blunt this before, T, but I've also added the horse's off track record to the equation in those situations in the manner we do the other two things regarding conditions.
 
The late pick 3 is definitely an option there wouldn't you say @t6p? May be an easy and very cheap 2x1x2 type of ticket as well if we use around a 25 point cutoff.
 
Race 7 might be like so for me;

#1 over #2, #3 over #2, #3, #4, #5 in six different trifecats, and then focus on the 12/1 longshot that's ranked 2nd in straight wagers.

Hmm, not sure I follow you on this one bud. Maybe clarify in the PM if you have the chance?

You read my mind. It looks like I won't be able to watch any of the races unfortunately, except maybe race 6. So, I was going to ask your thoughts about a pick 3. Gonna give it some more thought now.

Well, we talked about it yesterday, and you managed to find 3 races in a row that gives us the opportunity so why not. I looked at a only a couple tracks last night trying to find a pick 3 to play, and didn't see any with my limited search just because maiden and turf races were thrown in.

Sounds good to me. I wish I could watch and play along. But since I can't and I want to make use of the numbers, here's what I'm thinking about going with. I hope it makes some sense:

Pick 3 (races 6-8)
#1,#3 / #1,#3 / #1,#2,#6,#9

Race 7
#3 W/P/S
Exacta box #1, #2, #3

Race 8
#6 W/P/S
Exacta box #1, #2, #6

Looks great, T. I just put in a pick 3 myself, but went a lot thinner;

#1, #3/ #1/ #1, #6

Played it for $2 each, so only $8 in total. I don't want that 8/5 horse in race 8 if it's only ranked 3rd regardless if it wins or not. And that 12/1 horse in race 7 is going to be my focus for straight wagering, so I'll have that one backed up as well since I didn't include it in the pick 3. I'll leave the huge pick 3 payout to you if that one hits since you did the work on these.

Best of luck, T. Hope you crush everything today.

Currently sitting at 22/1 and around 5% of both the place and show pools with just over 10 mins to post. He'll come down from that for sure, but might be worth a stab.

Awesome, thanks. Best of luck to you too. I just threw that 8/5 horse in because I'd hate myself if the pick 3 got that far and I lost because I didn't include it.

I'll be headed out soon and won't be back on until later tonight. Hopefully, I'll find out that we cleaned up!

I completely understand that thinking, T. It's probably even the smart thing to do, especially if you get a decent price home in the first two legs. I'd love to see you crush these races today. I finally got my payoff last night, so it's your turn to get one of those.
 
I went with a $5 place bet here with the #2 Glennrichment, and then a $5 exacta box with the #1 and #3.
