“Expand” Your Winnings At Gulfstream (2/28)

Feb 28th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

A drying out main track and a good turf course — I’m handicapping without the benefit of scratches and with the assumption that all races with remain on the turf.  Disregard any of the last 4 races if any they are switched to the main track.

In race 9, The Mac Diarmida, Expansion (#8) is in great form and can repeat at 1 3/8 distance on turf — I’m keying in the late double and pick 3 and playing an exacta box with Winchester (#2).

In race 4, Brown Dirt Cowboy (#4) is the in-form closer in a race packed with speed.  I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Captain Backfire (#3) and The Midnight Skier (#8).  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 3 and 6

Race 2: 8 and 1A

Race 3: 6 with 3 and 5

Race 4: 4 (Best Bet) with 3 and 8

Race 5: 1 and 6

Race 6: 7 and 5

Race 7: 9 with 2 and 14

Race 8: 3, 6 and 8

Race 9: 8 (Best Bet) and 2

Race 10: 4, 1 and 3



A “Platinum” Setting At Aqueduct (2/28)

Feb 28th, 2010 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Clear and fast as Aqueduct reopens after two days of snow removal!  A very competitive card for the inner track — but please note that these picks have been posted without knowledge of scratches so play accordingly.

In race 6, Platinum Couple (#5) has won going from route to sprint and gets a good pace to run at — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Nikosi Reigns (#9) and Crazy Coyote (#7).

In race 7, Stopbluffing (#1) is not a win machine, but had an excuse in last and likes the inner track — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3’s and playing an exacta box with Mighty Morris (#3). Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 6 and 4

Race 2: 3 and 1

Race 3: 3 and 2

Race 4: 2 and 7

Race 5: 3 and 6

Race 6: 5 (Best Bet) with 9 and 7

Race 7: 1 (Best Bet) and 3

Race 8: 5 with 4 and 2

Race 9: 7 and 3
