I'm sure many tickets simply pounded the first 2 favorites that resulted in a $9.90 double and spread out from there.
I made a $192.00 ticket 1,3/2,3,5,6/1,2.4,6/1,3,6,10/1,3,6
This was a Finger Lakes sequence, horrible excuse for a product to put out, good luck all winter on the tube, its the last day they get a penny from me.
This is how chaotic this sequence was;
I was with Roddy Valente yesterday afternoon in the Tele Theater he was claiming a 3 legged NY Bred from Doug O'Neil at Los Alamitos to bring back east. He and I go back more than 30 years so there is no sugarcoating, he tells me when his horses or something Bruce Levine has is doing well and I give him T-graph opinions as well as my own on his horses or sequences involving them. He is a Rags customer since I've known him.
I asked him about his Stone Supplier in the final leg of the pick 5 today as well as Quibbler in the first leg trained by his long time trainer. He simply shook his head and said Stone Supplier always tries but she isn't anything good and if Quibbler couldn't beat this field "forget about it".
It gets worse Chip Landry who bred and owns Irish Heroine in the final leg asked me if I wanted to go down to Aqueduct with him and another friend for the race. He was optimistic about her coming off the shelf but was not crazy about how she was training. She is out of a mare with some ability and thought he had a decent fillie 16 months ago! I texted him before the race wishing him good luck and letting him know I needed her for the pick 5. He texted back after the race she tried hard but the first 5 all went coast to coast. I replied that's not really a track bias as none of the 35 RATS that ran in this sequence had ever passed a horse.
He agreed!
The bottom line is it was a horrible value bet from the get go. Unless you really had a strong opinion on a couple of races and were playing multiple tickets on them hoping to get 4 or 5/1 on a 5 race bet is a waste of time!!!
Good luck to all inner tube bettors,
Frank D.
