netsfan3 1st at Grand River Wednesday, field is 0-61 in 2017. #2 horse, LADY OF MY DREAM is 2/1 Bob McClure driving should try to wire this field. Don't bet the barn on this one. But, she does look like
the most logical winner here. You have to watch this one. When was the last time you saw a field 0-61 for a year? -
netsfan3 Back a few years ago, I believe the Big M contest had a very interesting rule. It was you could not collect more than $100 on a single horse in the 123 contest. It does have some merit. Poor guy who was in front. Kind of like waiting an hour to get into the rest room, and finding the toilet no longer flushes.
netsfan3 I'm not saying I agreed with that rule. But, the tracks do have a right to make up their own free contest rules. I had the other 3 seven horses that won on Monday. But, not that one. Others would have complained if the 3 contest races were all 6 horse fields on the last day. Thereby, favoring the people who were way ahead in the contest. The last day everyone way behind plays 3 crazy longshots. That is just wild stabbing on horses you would normally throw out in a few seconds while betting real money.2 weeks ago -
netsfan3 Guy on the train coming home had a $10 spot on the horse because it had THIRSTY in his name. His wife, a pretty 20 year old, and yours truly had a great time talking on the train. Meanwhile, he seemed pissed off even though he won over $800. People are hard to figure. Maybe, he had to much to drink? I only had 2 beers all day.

netsfan3 She's Stunning was the only thing I liked all day. The fans were chortling when I GUARANTEED there was no way he was losing that race even though he was 9/2 at the time. I WAS STUNNED WHEN I SAW HE BECAME THE FAVORITE AT 5/2. All my customers boxed the 1-5-9 in the exacta. But, they could have had the triple as well. Actually, had 2 scratches in the contest including MTO horse.

netsfan3 Paco Lopez finally showing some common sense on Sunday. He is riding some decent horses at Parx instead of riding a few horses with little chance at Saratoga. 8th Race looks like a 2 horse race between the 1 and the 2 horses. Heavy showers 30 miles North of Monmouth Park at 8 to 8:30 this morning. Should clear up around noon.

netsfan3 BEST GUESS: OFF TURF ON SUNDAY. 6-8-12. Couldn't catch place with both parts of entry in 7th at Scioto Downs. But the 1a did win the race saving the place bet. Jim Marohn Jr. has won 4 races so far at Pocono Downs tonight. PACO AND BRAVO another nothing day at the SPA.

netsfan3 Don't know if I will make it home in time to bet the 7th race at Scioto Downs tonight. But, the 3 horse entry could very well run 1,2.3 IN THIS RACE. I am curious to see if there is show betting on this race? Surely, there will be a bridge jumper if they allow show betting.

netsfan3 So far, the NYRA experts lost $48 on their .50 cent pick 5. With 5 different experts they have come up with a goose egg in 3 races. They are saying the 9 horse will win the 11th race today. I have to watch it on TVG AROUND 6:45.

netsfan3 TVG has that money back offer at Kentucky Downs on Saturday. #8 OUR GIRL ABBY 7/2 Tyler Gaffalione riding looks ready to pop in the 2nd race, turf or dirt. I might have to use my TVG card on the self service machine to take advantage of the offer. I think it is raining in Kentucky?

netsfan3 No can't miss horses at GRAND RIVER Friday night. Don't care for any of the favorites in the contest races on Saturday. 9-5-2 pending weather forecast.
netsfan3 A funny Monmouth Park memory from around 1975. I was with a pal who was a better thoroughbred handicapper than I was. There was a horse in the walking ring with a gigantic hard on, everyone was laughing. I asked my friend "Can he run like that?" He responded by asking, "Could you?"3 weeks ago -
netsfan3 Can't figure the experts at TVG. I THINK #6 STORM PROPHET 5/2 with Irad Ortiz should surely be first or second in the 8th at Saratoga. They have him off the board. We shall see.
netsfan3 Well I listened to the NYRA experts and didn't make even a safe show bet on STORM PROPHET. I BET HE PAYS CLOSE TO $4 TO SHOW. They all lost their $35 pick 4's on the 8th race. No one even mentioned the longshot 2 horse. Saratoga is beyond believe tough to handicap. UP TO 8 GARBAGE CANS OF GARDEN WASTE FOR FRIDAY'S PICK UP. Only 1 more available empty garbage can. I'm gonna drink beer and watch the races at HOOSIER tonight. Will post a winner on Friday morning by 7 A.M. at GRAND RIVER for Friday night.3 weeks ago
