Star horses on Sunday didn’t win very much, but they ran several 2nd including pricey Let’s Go Cheyenne, Lovestealer, Chokecherymarie and Lovely Sophia to go with low priced winner Victory Cup, once again prove my point.  Find good looking or improving horses (as the STAR’s try to indicate), and when they have an excellent price, go ahead and bet them for win and place.  This strategy is especially good with wide spreads…   Stay tune, as I will be doing some “web-casts” in 2012 to spend more effort to highlight this type of opportunity before the races go off…

The Big A race track played a touch funky again today, providing some doduble digit payoffs, with some hard-to-get-to plays.   None the less, someone managed to figure it correctly and took down some 250G for the Pick-6.  The two hardes for me were to focus a single or doubleton on Ever A Friend in the 5th and Life’s Measure in the finale.   A creative bettor, who spread those races could have managed to include both of those, especially considering Ever A Friend’s trainer is a near miracle worker.    On the otherhand, Life’s Measure was a turn back that had a look about her that wasn’t too awful from her last race- unfortunately her other more recent races made her look worse than she actually was.  None the less, she was very hard to make as a singleton or doubleton.  So it’s fair to say, those races would most probably required a good wide spread.    This could have been really problematical, even for a PICK-6 syndicate, because the 7th race was a really “ALL” type, especially considering it was an off-the-turfer.     It was very tough today, but someone managed to put together a very nice ticket…Congrats!
