Day 36 At Saratoga — I Reached My “Limit” (9/7)

Sep 7th, 2009 | By mircon1 | Category: Saratoga, Today’s Picks

Finally — the end is here.  I achieved my goal to handicap every card at the Saratoga meet and post my picks for my avid readers.  It has been a physical and emotional journey, with so many ups and downs I could barely catch my breath.  But it was worth every minute and I have one more day to show my handicapping prowess.  I’m sure other people would call it something else — nothing I would like to print here. We will see in the final statistics!

Fast and firm, with another difficult card to get a feel for a make picks with any conviction.  In race 3, Credit Limit (#1) can stick close to the pace and should win with a good trip.  I’m keying him in all my doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Uno Peso (#5).

In race 10, The Hopeful, Dublin (#12) loved the local track and is working well for Wayne Lukas.  I’m playing him in an exacta box with Grand Slam Andre (#4) and Backtalk (#13) and using in doubles and pick 3’s.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 4, 5 and 1A

Race 2: 2, 6 and 1

Race 3: 1 (Best Bet) and 5

Race 4: 7 and 6

Race 5: 3, 5 and 8

Race 6: 9, 1 and 6

Race 7: 7, 1 and 3

Race 8: 8, 7 and 5

Race 9: 3, 5 and 7

Race 10: 12 (Best Bet), 4 and 13

Race 11: 3 with 5 and 9

    final day showed a nice job of handicapping by the dragon-the end of the meet couldnt come soon enough for some-just glad its finally OVERRRRRRRR—–was not able to catch a break over the entire six weeks-even the last race on closing day cost me an an exacta with a ten to one shot on top as i ran third with the jimmy toner horse-TIME FOR A LONG BREATH AND READY FOR A NICE RESPITE FROM WHAT IS THE TOUGHEST GAME IN THE WORLD-PICKING WINNERS ON A CONSISTENT BASIS———ENJOYED ALL THE BANTER AND FINE PROSE AND POETRY-HOWEVER,GLAD TO BE BACK AT BELMONT WHERE A LOSING DAY IS ONLY TWENTY MINUTES FROM HOME AND NOT THE FOUR HOUR RIDE ON 87 SOUTH-AGAIN GOOD LUCK TO ALL,AND SEE YOU AT BEAUTIFUL BELMONT PARK FOR THE FALL CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON–
