Day 29 Recap At Saratoga — A Reversal Of Form And Fortune (8/30)
Aug 31st, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Saratoga, Today’s PicksJust like horses, handicappers can have dramatic form reversals which can lead the way back to profitability. After starting out the week very cold, I got hot very quickly on Sunday’s card. No Travers hangover for me. After not even being close in races 1 and 2, I listed winners in 8 of the next 9 races, including 5 on top, and had a flat bet profit of $42.20! From races 3-8, I listed 5 doubles, 4 pick 3’s, 1 exacta box and 1 cold exacta! Prices in the pick 3’s ranged from $83 to $374 — some nice payoffs due to listing a 10-1 shot in race 4.
After being beaten a nose in race 9 which broke the winning streak, I came back with a cold late double for $155, a cold exacta in race 11 for $147 which included a $35 horse on top! The pick 6 came back over $36,000 and I was a nose away from listing my second pick 6 of the meet. On a day like this, I guy can dream, but I’m only one bad day away from a nightmare!
