Fair enough HP. I thought you were referring to the entire race when you said "T-Graph got it right". They were certainly right about H of F and it was a bad bet by me. My original post was the proper move for me, which was to skip the race. I didn't like Hollywood Story but thought Star Parade was off form. I couldn't find the right alternative.
The race that kills me yesterday was the Acorn. Anybody catch that? Round Pound had a nice pattern as I posted in that thread and I thought she was a use, but I keyed In the Gold, with Round Pound and Smuggler. In the Gold rallies by the entire field and takes the lead in the stretch, race over. I was actually doing the math as to how much I was going to get back on my exactas. Then the horse stops about 50 yards before the wire, letting BOTH Smuggler and RP rally back past her. It couldn't have been 1 of the 2, but BOTH had to rally past her. RAces like that make me want to give up on this game.....
I haven't checked yet in the redboard room, but I would bet that T-Graph had Round Pound, as she looked fast, consistent and 60 percent to pair up for run a new top. Tough to like her at 2-1 in the win pool, for me.
