“Oak” Is Mighty At Saratoga (8/6)
Aug 6th, 2011 | By mircon1 | Category: Saratoga, Today's PicksFast and firm for the Saturday card — one of the most competitive and difficult cards I’ve every had the pleasure of handicapping. I’m still recovering from my week at Saratoga, where I had my ups and downs, but came out a winner. I want to thank Lois from Pucker Ridge for the great seats and for my time with her horses and I also appreciate my friend Brian and his friends for getting us a great table at the track and for their company!
On Saturday, I listed 5 winners (2 on top, both best bets!) and had a nice exacta boxes in race 2 and 4 for over $80. Let’s see how I do today! In race 10, The Grade 1 Whitney, Giant Oak (#4) has a great closing kick when right, wasn’t beaten much in last grade 1 when marooned from a bad post, gets a very fast pace today and is working bullets for this — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with #’s 8 and 2.
In race 11, Southbeachsandy (#11) gets a great stalking post and cuts back to 7 furlongs for hot connections — I’m keying in all multi-race wagers and playing an exacta box with #’s 8 and 9.
In race 5, Five Sigma Event (#8) will be in perfect stalking position turning for home and take this — I’m keying in all doubles and pick 3′s and playing an exacta box with #’s 7 and 4. Here’s the entire card and good luck!
Race 1: 9, 10 and 6
Race 2: 9, 6 and 1
Race 3: 5 with 1 and 8
Race 4: 2 with 6 and 10
Race 5: 8 (Best Bet) with 7 and 4
Race 6: 2, 5 and 1/1A
Race 7: 3 with 8 and 4
Race 8: 6 with 3 and 10
Race 9: 6 and 2
Race 10: 4 (Best Bet) with 8 and 2
Race 11: 11 (Best Bet) with 8 and 9
Not concerned! Btw — thanks for getting the table. Enjoyed meeting your friends.
