Saratoga 7/22-9/5

Surprised the Million isn't on tv, obviously all NBC networks are covering the Olympics but was hoping someone would pick it up. Have to stick to the laptop.
 
Storms lost WiFi for a minute

Arl R9 need 9,10,11,12 to cash pk4 and added DD #9,10/3,9,11 med sized plays
 
:beer4:

Just incredible races today, seems you've been nailing it...such a late start today for me, I usually go OTB for the Million but just at home hoping to sprinkle some stuff in. Last two years this day has been one of the best for me in this sport.
 
No lie....spent 15 hours capping both cards so I felt they owed me...but there's never a guarantee and I've been lucky enough to have a great day today....need 3,9,11 for another nice score

Onto Sunday
 
Grats mate, you obviously deserve it...was able to get a couple small P3s there and a couple bigger doubles but posting my stuff's been shit..didn't even get to watch anything until R6 today.

Seriously think I received tax forms the last two years during this race due to unintelligent wagering style...needed to split up a pick 3 into two tickets once and a same with a tri last year...don't know what it is about Chicago
 
With trainer/jock status today hard not to bet the 11 here on principle, looks like many are

Arl R10: added EBX 3,9,11
#3 would be great but I'll take any of the three

Splitting tix up is a must :cheers3:
 
And where you finding 15 hours these days? I can't even sleep 4/nt anymore
8 hours on thurs, that's why I always need advanced pp's...and stayed up to 3 AM fri into sat....stole 1.5 hrs from main job yesterday and rest was scattered this am...lol
 
No bullshit here but won't be surprised, drifted obviously but have seen a lot worse
 
R2: #7 is a Harlan's Holiday 2YO for Pletcher, who has something like 6 wins at meet w/ 2yo's....Took $ in dirt debut vs Olive Branch, then was given a couple months and returned in a turf sprint, now back to dirt
 
R3: I will use #7 who should be in a nice stalking position on outside but Maker has much better turf numbers than dirt @ Spa...#4 Gullo has great off the claim numbers
