Friday’s Blog:
My description of both cards for Thursday – could not have been more accurate. Belmont had plenty of value to bet on and plenty of that value did come in — setting up terrific payouts. We had two “V” horses in particular that did the bulk of the work, in Race # 2 our “V” horse (Doinwhatshelikes) romped home at $13.80. Then in the 4th race, our ONLY “V” horse, Lilikoi ran 2nd paying a whopping $30.80 to place. There were several other laace to place some $$$ throughout the balance of the card, but nothing could match up to Lilikoi.
Then at Los Alamitos, as opined in yesterday’s blog, the favorites were the focus of the first 4 races with 3 winning and one running out! There is always 1 hat disapoints – and that’s the problem with this type of bet. Anyway the ROI for tha favorite in the first 4 races was $10.80 returned on $8.00 wagered so while not very interesting, it was eeking out a small profit. The racing from races #5 through 8 were actually pretty decent, with Glory Bound winning hte finale and paying $9.40 for $2.00. As many of you know, that was my play on Race Day Las Vegas. It was a very basic play, taking the good horse on the outside – with odds to make it worthwhile, against a slightly better rated favorite in the terrible 1 post — with the weight of favoritism, which is often too much to perform with…
Belmont is your normal, very good card, typical of this time of year. Now Los Alamitos is another story, we have several 5 furlong races that have many horses with hard to evaluate or LIKE form. Plus in several instances there seem to be a horse or two that rates to be odds on, but we know that seldom is there ever a horse worth 3/5. So these need to be evaluated for being “value traps”. Anyway, the information is there and you get to do the handicapping…
