Tough day at the plant. Approaching -$900 for meet..

 

[rdalert447]

Decent card today. A couple of opportunities to extract profit if things shake out. Chasing -$887 with six days remaining in the meet.

Do you see how powerful rebates are if you got 8% on volume, that’s about $640

I see for sure. I got back a little less than 5%. My point about rebates is they won’t last long if you win, and I don’t have time to bounce around from shop to shop.

Jump in for the last 6 days, JJ. The usuals are going to get their wins at some decent prices down the stretch.

Race 1
$20 win #5 Timeless Glory 8-1
$2 DD 5/1,6
$1 P3 5/1,6/7
I always say Granitz is an auto-bet here at anything 5-1 or higher. He’s just too good so can’t let him slip by at a decent price. With the meet winding down, Granitz has shipped most of his barn back to his home base in Indiana. So there is two ways of looking at this horse: Granitz is leaving him behind in hopes he gets claimed, and doesn’t have to pay to have him shipped. OR, the horse is rounding back into form and Granitz doesn’t want to ship him when he’s ready to run. I’m opting for the latter. Horse is an Indiana bred, so would make sense to ship him and run him vs state-breds. Instead he leaves it here against open company. Speed-fade last out is always a plus, in my opinion.

 

[rdalert447]

Should’ve went with option one. Granitz did not want to pay to ship that sucker.

Do you ever do a breakdown? Do you do better on straights or exotics

Race 2
$20 win #1 D’Oro Baby 8-1
$2 exbx 1-6
.50c tri 1,6/ALL/1,6
An Ochoa exacta here will out a dent in the negative figure. He only has one bomb on the meet, and that was only 25-1. He usually has multiple. JJ, we’ll be parking the jalopies in VALET after this one…

Do way better on win bets. Never had a problem picking long winners. My problem is betting them correctly in the exotics to make the score last longer. A long-term work in progress….

Audible to the 6 Amore Moon. That one is 14-1, compared to 6-1 on the other Ochoa entrant

Pull that ‘78 caddy to the VALET, JJ!

Well I'll be damned. With the Derby next week, why not get in on some early pony action on a normal Wednesday?
