On a day where I thought you could toss darts at the tote board and be as good a handicapper as someone who studies the racing form intently, I ended up having one of my best days at The Spa.  It was a situation where having “seconditis” almost made me an incredible winner. It started with the early double, where both my second choices won for a $67 payoff.  Then, after a two race win hiatus, I started an incredible run in race 5!  It included listing:

* Four doubles ranging from $36.80 to $78

* Three pick 3’s ranging from $215.50 to $344.50

* Three exactas ranging from $20.60 to $54.50

* My best bet exacta box ($54.50)

During the streak, all my winners were my second choices except a 4-5 shot that I listed on top! I was also alive in the pick 4 and pick 6 with two horses in race 10, both over $2500 in the pick 4 and $8,000 in the pick 6.  Ironically, my second choice made a big move on the turn but ran second to end the streak.  I even collected a pick 5 consolation.  What a day to be second best!  I hope it made you a winner!
