Home Forums Sports Picks Central Trackside Picks Anyone out there playing the ponies today?

You guys wanted auto racing and horse racing topics, but no one talking about it....<P>I am betting Aqueduct's card today then Hollywood's, if anyone is out there doing any action today, let's chat.<P>I hit the first race at Aqueduct ran third in the second. <P>In the third looking at Thunder Chief and Gallant Skip, Skip 12-1 on the morning line, rates a good hard look, ran 3rd in last out in much tougher competition.<P>

Thunder Chief won by 7 lengths and crushed the field.<P>Gallant Skip got up for 3rd.....<P>4th race at Aqueduct, looking at Nun Left, this horse should run rather nicely today and bring home the bacon.<P>To fill the exata looking at Tanallover and belongs to me<P>The scratch of Deb's spirit will leave the nun the favorite probably around 3/2 odds.<P>tan will be about 5/2 and belongs to me about 4to5-1<P>Back for the 5th shortly

Ouch 4th race was bombs away....<BR>16, 17 and 31 to 1 in order....<P>tri had to by a few people because it didn't pay as much as you think it would. $8587<P>Exacta paid $599 rather low I would think...<P>5th<P>Boils down to 3 horses here.....<P>Catchat, Quick Blue and Cleverly<P>Some odd lines for a few, Quick Blue won by 18 lengths last out after long layoff.<P>I am laying the green on Catchat will probably end up the chalk, but seems to me to be the best of the 3 with the legitimate shot in this one.<P>

Catchat a winner in the 5th followed by quickblue and cleverly.....<P>In the 6th take four alert to show....

Ahhh nothing like talking to yourself, at least your never wrong <P>In Aqueduct 7th, looking at John N Tom should be in the mix early, and if right will win this race. Going at a good price odds probably 5-1 on up...<P>Wide open race here.....

John N Tom a winner paid 11.60, nice race there, wire to wire and never in doubt.<P>Aqueducts featured 8th race....<P>Going with Dat You Miz Blue...<P>Will go off around 2-1 or so, a good price on a very good horse.<P>Will skip Aqueducts 9th and get ready for Hollywood's 2nd.....

Dat you Miz Blue off the board....<P>Not lots of time but Lugo Lake in Hollywood's 2nd...

Lugu park ran 2nd to the 3/5 shot....<P>Going crazy with an 8-1 shot here in Bombard in the 3rd

Light up the totes, Bombard wins paying $25... much better than the 8-1 it was when bet....<P>In the 4th....<P>Going against the heavy favorite fairhope here and going with raise the tempo... If the favorite chokes, this one will be there at the finish in front....<P>Look for morebubble to be coming late in theis short sprint.

Raise the Tempo wins and paid $6.40 up for second was more bubbles....<P>The favorite faded heavily at the top of the stretch and finished 4th.<P>This 5th race is tough you have some top notch trainers in here baffert,mcnally and drysdale...<P>Baffert has the favorite Tournament play, Mcnally with Deputy country the second choice and drysdale on a longer shot currently 7-1<P>I am not going to be on any of the 3 and I am going to back a horse by the name of Enchanted Oak. <P>This horse shows some good workouts and if can run anywhere near those will be dangerous indeed.<P>What's really nice is the ML is 10-1 and the odds are still at 10-1.... Will take the chance, can't hurt here, showing profit and who knows can be another Bombard...

Enchanted Oak went off at 20-1 ended up 3rd.<P>Paid 4.40 to show....<P>Still a good day going at Hollywood and overall...<P>In the 6th once again going against the chalk, going with a horse called Kiznitti.<P>Should go off around 5/2 or so, and will be up in the thick of things.<P>If your looking for a longer shot Ocean of Storms should be around in the end.<P>Playing a quinella as well with the 2 mentioned above.<P>

Kiznitti ran 3rd. Horse could have own if it wasn't for a stumble at the gate that cost 2 lengths to the field. That was the margin of defeat..<P>In the 7th....<P>I just have to go with e favorite here.....<P>#7 Khumbu... With pincay on top, and coming from a great barn, this horse to me is the one to beat.<P>Good Luck for anyone that is following

AY KHUMBU !!!!!<P>RRRRRR<P>Loser..... <P>8th and featured, my best bet on the card... will be a short price more than likely in the 5 horse field.<P>SARAFAN <P>CRUSH EM !!!!!!!!
