Gulfstream on Friday…

My marketing director would kill me for my next statement, but the JJPP for Gulfstream wasn’t very good on Friday, after having a really good week.  But if you came to play on Friday, you probably think my dog, Smokey Bear did the handicapping.  It is what it is… but that’s the nature of handicapping, we all have days, when our best ideas seem to have an extra 100 lbs in the saddle bags.

No worries, we have tomorrow and the rest of the season to apply what has always been solid handicapping ideas that my customers love.

Once again, the track was playing very HONEST, getting very good runs both wide and on the rail!

Santa Anita turned into an outstanding day…

As long as I resulted Gulfstream, Santa Anita started a little fair, but then our JJPPs turned “white hot” at the 5th race and continued through the end of the day, when we slammed the last Trifecta with our STAR horse Tiger Dad getting home at a $17.80 mutual, while the Trifecta was made up of our Top 3 rated PPN horses.  In the last 5 races our Top Contender won  4 of the final 5 races!  And in the 7th race, our Top Contender ran 2nd to our 2nd rated Contender – a reverse exacta of my Top 2 Contenders…..White Hot!

STAR horses at Gulfstream Park:

We now have 3 days of racing at Gulfstream Park, and many people want to judge my ability at Gulfstream Park, of which I enjoy doing… but let’s just look at the facts to date… of course this is just for Jan1,2,3… but here they are…

STAR horses  Total 15… winners 4 (total wins $55.70),  2 Place…  ROI = $1.86 per $1.00 wagered…

My point, while this is a very small sample, I want you to have confidence.

Gulfstream Bias on Thursday:

Thursday at Gulfstream Park, made me suspicious of the rail being dead, but then Botero indicated the rail was fine.  Once again, Gulfstream is proving to be a very honest strip in 2019.

Aqueduct and Santa Anita for Friday…

I am liking both cards again.  While New York has some smallish fields, there are still several horses that have an attractive look and sporting a decent M/L.  Don’t be a snob about the field size or the winter feel, it’s a great place to build your bankroll.  Even small fields can produce very sizeable payoffs, relative to their FREQUENCY.  Some the the Trifecta boxes in smallish 5 and 6 horse fields can easily get you 2/1 – and very often when evaluating this type of payoff, I have come to realize that the chances of losing were pretty slim.   I almost feel like I can get 2/1 on Rams over the Raiders without having to “give points”!  Don’t be a snob and go for the money…

Santa Anita on Friday is a really nice little card.  I have a Featured Play in the opening race and if that horse wins, well “Katy bar the door” whatever that means, but I think it’s really good…
