Turn Into A “Pumpkin” At Aqueduct (1/17)

Jan 17th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast but going to be raining later in the card so upgrade horses that like a wet track.  In race 8, The Affectionately, Pumpkin Shell (#2) likes the inner and can run on a wet track — I’m keying in all doubles and the late pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Yes She’s a Lady (#1).

In race 5, Talking Blues (#2) can get a good stalking spot from the inside and run down the leaders late.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing a exacta box with Royal Lord (#3).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 1 and 5

Race 2: 5 and 6

Race 3: 2 and 8

Race 4: 5 and 3

Race 5: 2 (Best Bet) and 3

Race 6: 1 and 7

Race 7: 2 and 7

Race 8: 2 (Best Bet) and 1

Race 9: 3 and 2B



Get The “Elusive” Win At Aqueduct (1/16)

Jan 16th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast on the inner track, but slow when it comes to value today at Aqueduct.  The card isn’t very inspiring and I would rather concentrate on Gulfstream.

In race 8, Elusive Gift (#5) is the absolute speed and should wire these at 6 furlongs.  I’m keying in all doubles and the late pick 3.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 2 and 9

Race 2: 3 and 1A

Race 3: 1/1A

Race 4: 5 and 9

Race 5: 7 and 2

Race 6: 4 and 5

Race 7: 1A

Race 8: 5 (Best Bet)

Race 9: 3 and 1A



A “Swell” Card At Gulfstream (1/16)

Jan 16th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast and firm at Gulfstream with a difficult card on tap.  Hope to build on last sunday where one of my best bets won at a $76 payoff!

In race 10, Thou Swell (#6) can take advantage of a slow pace and be there all the way at 1 1/8 miles on the turf.  I’m keying in the late double and pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Pinkney Hill (#10) and Rock in Bage (#8).

In race 6, Bim Bam (#7) benefits greatly from a fast pace and can make the last move late to win this turf mile at a price.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Our Champion (#9) and Nordic Truce (#4).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 8, 1 and 10

Race 2: 11, 2 and 9

Race 3: 3 and 5

Race 4: 7 and 2

Race 5: 3 and 12

Race 6: 7 (Best Bet) with 9 and 4

Race 7: 6 and 4

Race 8: 1 with 2 and 6

Race 9: 11 and 2

Race 10: 6 (Best Bet) with 10 and 8



Take A “Vacation” At Gulfstream (1/10)

Jan 10th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Wet and off the turf at Gulfstream — however the races are still competitive.  In race 9, The Ft. Lauderdale, which is now off the grass at one mile, Vacation (#6) likes it wet and is better on dirt — I’ll key him in doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with Kiss The Kid (#7).

In race 10, another off the turf, Pizzi’s Pride (#2) can sit a good trip behind the speed and get up at a price.  I’m keying in the late double and pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Rapid Mon (#6). Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 5 and 3

Race 2: 10 and 9

Race 3: 6 and 10

Race 4: 4 and 1

Race 5: 1 and 10

Race 6: 1 and 4
