Megastar ran big paying $20.20 as one of two STAR horses in Hollywood’s 6th race on Thursday.  Not bad for a 5 horse field, and to make this even better, the other STAR horse Uncle Sam filled in the exacta.  And to make this one even better, they were rated as the top two horses in the race in addition to their STAR ratings.  Additionally, both my plays on Race Day Las Vegas, came in, with Rose’s Turn besting north Freeway turning a $15.00 exacta in this 6 horse field.  And then back at Hollywood, my Key horse Rock Off ran 2nd to Full Instinct one of our listed “turn” horses, making a nice $25.40/1 exacta.

Stay in the game, by playing for advantages in performance and price!

It was a light day for STAR horses, but there was plenty of good runs from top rated horses.  At both Aqueduct and Hollywood, the top rated horse ran either first or 2nd in 12 of the 17 carded races.  Mostly chalky chalk, so no big deal there, but it is good to know that in none competitive situations, that our figures hold up extremely well.   There were a host of races in which the exacta was solved from our top 3 rated horses!   It’s results like this, that make it important to understand the figures you are using and to use those figures correctly.   It’s still, almost never correct, to be betting on the favorite!   But if you have a nice price horse in a small field, it certainly makes great sense to use our top rated horses in your exacta number…
