Jan 14th, 2012 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast and firm for the Saturday card — another great betting card compared to Aqueduct so concentrate here today.

In race 10, The Grade 3 Fort Lauderdale, Teaks North (#7) gets major class relief today, 1 for 1 on local sod and can stay close in a fairly paceless affair — key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #’s 6 and 5.

In race 9, The Grade 3 Hal’s Hope, Soaring Empire (#7) is training bullets off a 7-month layoff and loves the local surface — can win this as second choice to overbet Jackson Bend (#1).  Key in all doubles and pick 3’s and plan an exacta box with #1.  Here’s the entire and good luck!

“Olive” Oils Your Bankroll At Aqueduct (1/14/12)

Jan 14th, 2012 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Clear and fast, but brutally cold at Aqueduct for the Saturday card.  Still having trouble picking winners on top at the meet, but some of my best bets have been running well lately at decent odds, so maybe that’s something to consider today.

In race 5, Olive Eye (#4) has run well fresh before and has shown a liking to the inner track — will be a big price today with double bug boy and should be part of the number.  Play across the board, use in doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #’s 5 and 9.

In race 8, Star of New York (#3) goes first off the Dutrow claim, stretches out and gets Dominguez — can win this at a decent price on a track he likes.  Key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #’s 8 and 9.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 8 and 4

Race 2: 3 and 6

Race 3: 3

Race 4: 7 and 5

Race 5: 4 (Best Bet) with 5 and 9

Race 6: 6 and 8

Race 7: 7 and 5

Race 8: 3 (Best Bet) with 8 and 9

Payday For “JJ” At Aqueduct (1/8/12)

Jan 8th, 2012 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Clear and fast for the Sunday card at Aqueduct — started out great yesterday with a cold exacta in race went and then it was all downhill, so let’s see if I can redeem myself today.

In race 8, J J’s Lucky Train (#3) has raced against some toughies, but sticks with one turn (which may be his game) and likes the local surface — key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #5 and 6.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 7 and 8

Race 2: 4 and 3

Race 3: 6 and 5

Race 4: 9, 10 and 1

Race 5: 4, 6 and 8

Race 7: 4, 6 and 8

Race 8: 3 (Best Bet) with 5 and 6

Race 9: 7 and 1



“Bomb” Figures at Gulfstream (1/8/12)

Jan 8th, 2012 | By mircon1 | Category: Today’s Picks

Fast and firm for the Sunday card — listed only 4 winners on yesterday’s card, but 3 were on top including cold exactas in races 4 and 5.  Too bad my best bet Tapitsfly in race 10 lost a 3-horse photo at 6-1, but that’s horse racing.  Let’s see if I rebound today!

In race 3, Forrest Bomb (#5) definitely needed last off an eight month layoff and can sit off fast pace and run these down as the second choice — key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #6.

In race 11, Jabulani (#2) has run well in all turf starts and figures to show more speed from cozy slot on turf (check out all the previous bad posts — one of my favorite angles on turf) — key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #’s 9 and 1.

In race 6, Homeboykris (#3) drops to lowest level ever and seems better than these, especially with a close-to-the pace trip.  Key in all doubles and pick 3’s and play an exacta box with #’s 9 and 2.  Here’s the entire card and good luck!

Race 1: 5, 3 and 7

Race 2: 11, 10 and 5

Race 3: 5 (Best Bet) and 6

Race 4: 5 and 6

Race 5: 9 and 4

Race 6: 3 (Best Bet) with 9 and 2

Race 7: 3, 9 and 5
