Keeping it brief tonight, the selections on Race Day Las Vegas produced 1 winner paying $7.60 at Aqueduct and a Scratch at Santa Anita.  The play at Aqueduct also produce another good exacta, paying $18.80.   I say a good exacta because the other horse Desert Wheat was the other co-top rated horse in the race with my selection Good Reward!   I certainly felt like I had a Good Reward.  The return is now at $296.80 at a cost of $274.00 yielding a rising ROI of  $1.08 — not bad at all!

Star horse were a combined $4.60 winnings against a cost of $20.00.   This is clearly a down day for the win position, but their were several low rated STAR horses that filled in the trifectas at Santa Anita.  They were Lady Fairbank in the 3rd, Comin Easy in the 5th and Chukchi Sunrise in the 6th.  So when the STAR horses have plenty to do and they have a nice price tag, don’t hesitate to USE them in the 2nd or 3rd position in your exotics…  They are suppose to be a little better than they appear…That’s the goal anyway…

Star horses dominated the card at Aqueduct today, with Surround Sound ($31.20), Penthouse Party ($10.00) and Shaun Washington ($4.20).   That meant we won $21.70 at a cost of $12.00.    The reason the figure is a little lower than the total for adding up all the win prices, is that this calculation is for win/place once the odds reaches 3.80/1.   Also Wednesday’s selections on Race Day were a place and a win at $10.00 for Penthouse Party.  I don’t usually use STAR horses for my Race Day Selections, but felt it was the right thing to do on Wednesday…
