Saratoga entire meet betting thread

Hit my 1st attempt at a Pick 5 yesterday. I’m still buzzing over it. My 81 yr old dad passed away a few days ago. Maybe this ticket is a gift from him to fly to NY and watch his beloved Mets in October. Seriously considering pouring some of his ashes at Citifield.
first off my deepest condolences for the loss of your dad
second well done with your pick 5 ticket

also please do scatter a few of his ashes at CitiField

Been a great meet weather-wise, kinda surprised today is off, I didn't see a lot of rain in the forecasts this week. Maybe they're saving the turf for the big weekend. Noticed the kickback was getting more obvious on Sunday.

they had just over a inch of rain yesterday
which they needed
like you I’m surprised no turf with only 10 days of racing left

did a lot of work for nothing

That 12th race was dirty. I didn’t see that 1 coming up the inside of the 4 until the last second. I missed the 7th. Epicenter was miles the best today. I’m sorry for the tough day. Get back at it tomorrow… good luck

Hi Lefty,

I’m not trying to be overly critical or come across as a jerk, but did you plan to be betting this much more towards the end of the meet? I’ve noticed your wagers have gone from 30 WP to 200W on straight bets for example.

no problem at all with your thoughts
I started small to get a feel for the track trends
then stepped it up as the meet went on

today was extremely frustrating because I got nosed out twice if I catch either photo I win for the day
if I have a bad day tomorrow I’ll only bet two races per card on Weds,Thurs & Friday
then get back after it the final Sat,Sun,Mon
 
Very unlucky today… really appreciate you posting your plays. I’ve really enjoyed following them. Best of luck the rest of the way. Thanks for the explanation of your thought process on bet sizing…

for those who watch replays, Jose Ortiz got this horse all jammed up and he was loaded

I figured with all the rain yesterday they'd be off-turf today so I didn't look at it. Must figure they only need to squeeze six more days out of it courses.

Gandolf

they got 3/4 of a inch of rain yesterday
you’re right only 6 days left and Travers week is behind them
the suits don’t care anymore they’ve made their nut for the year

I just hope our equine athletes and riders remain safe today
