Saturday Racing

There is some real good racing at Gulfstream, Fairgrounds & Oaklawn today. Tyler won the first 2 races @ GP on chalky horses & Luis Saez was en fuego yesterday winning 5 of the first 6 races. Here we go....

FG Race 1 DD 7-10-11 with 1-5-7

BOL to all today

Dead in the FG doubles.

Tyler has won the first 3 races @ GP.

Exacta 1-5 paid $42.40

FG Race 3 WP #3; DD 35 with 37

OAK Race 1 DD 38 with 3 &12

No good @ Oaklawn but at FG

#3 won on a great ride by Geroux

Paid $16.20/$6.60

Alive in the Double with 3 & 7

GP Race 6 #8 Folklaw..love the Tyler/Brown/Brant connection but small price @2-1

AQ Race 6 #8 Ragtime Blues..I put this guy in my stable because in his last race he got slammed by a horse ridden by Irad Ortiz costing him a 30 day suspension. He went off @11-1 that day & today he is 38-1 which is a WPS play for me here.

Folklaw didn't run a lick @ GP.

Also didn't cash the Double @ FG.

Ragtime Blues ran 4th @50-1

I enjoy your picks   keep it up

FG Race 6 tri key 14 with 237 & 11

#14 ran 3rd in a 3 horse finish at the wire & I didn't have #13 who ran 2nd.

Had the winner & the 3rd place finished but no cigar. Getting real chilly here.

FG Race 8 tri key 2 with 567

Junior Alvarado with a great ride on #6 Lovely Luvy saving ground on the rail & catching the chalk winning going away.

OAK Race 7 tri key 4 with 1-8-9-10

GP Finale Boxing 3-5-6-7

Javier closed on #3 coming from next to last & got the cash. Tyler made a good move between 4 other horses to get 2nd.

Exacta $62.40

OAK Race 8 tri key 5 with 1467

@PartyinJoe

 Glad you enjoy Joe!

It's always good to hit a race early. But then again, it's always good  to hit a race anytime.

#5 never fired @ OAK

Gotta play a Midnight Double...

FG Race 13 # Midnight Bourbon

FG Race 14 # 8 Call Me Midnight

This one is a no-brainer for me.

Ahh Midnight Bourbon finished 2nd; dead double.

FG Finale Boxing 1-5-6-8.

Last play is Turfway Race 5 # Rich Strike WPS 

# 8 Call Me Midnight

Paid $59.00/$13.20/$5.20......best hit of the year for me so far.

Exacta 8-5 paid $182.60

Drinks are on me!

Back when we chatted about making a stable, I put Pioneer of Medina in mine.  He won his maiden by 13 lengths and is related to Medina Spirit and American Pharoah.  I was surprised he was 3rd or 4th Choice today but that that was a nice payout.  I see you were on that as well.  Call Me Midnight came out of nowhere to win.  That was a great finish.

@Surfer2

 Yea, Pioneer of Medina had to repel 2 different challengers on the lead & he was the 4rth betting choice in that field of 7. Rarely do you see a Pletcher colt go off @7-1 odds.

Glad you mentioned & cashed on this guy.

That Call Me Midnight race was crazy. He wasn't in the picture & it's not like Graham pushed his button. Once Graham got him to the outside, he started picking up horses & just caught #5 Epicenter at the wire.
