Results for Tues., Jan. 27th-

Caravel got put up on a DQ, but I didn't have the 2nd place finisher in the right spot. Nina's Gift topped a small exacta. Arranger broke slowly, hustled forward, then flattened out; you can bet him back, but the price is probably gone. No one was catching the winner anyways, an AE horse that I never even looked at; can't make mistakes like that.

SELECTIONS- Tues., Jan. 27, 2009

Race 5: #4- Caravel (2-1) may end up as the 2nd or even third choice here, Montalvo re-rides, giving up the mount on #2- Turtle Bay (5-2) , who should be the favorite but has the ice-cold Velez in the irons.

Race 6: Not sure what happened to #6- Jade's Pleasure (2-1) last time, but I have to bet against her off that effort, despite the class drop. #3- Nina's Gift (5-2) seems to like this distance, switches to Montalvo, trainer is sending out fit horses.

$4exa- 3/6,8,9

Race 7: Expect a two horse battle here between #7- Arranger (6-1), who had an outstanding 5F work on the 14th, and #9- Conchacer (3-1), an $85K son of Congaree for Dale Bennett/Ramgeet/Savoy Stables. I'll take Arranger and hope for anything near the m/l.

Results from last Tues., Jan. 20th-

Zero for three on the day; took the last week off to try to shake out of the slump. May have the turf figured out a bit better after reviewing race results, and checking my wagering patterns. Nowhere to go but up.

SELECTIONS- Tues., Jan. 20, 2009

Race 6: #7- Little Dovefeather(5-2) drops back in for a tag after facing stakes-quality foes last out; loves it here, gets a new pilot in RoHo as the slumping Velez loses yet another prime mount, not sure what's up with him, though he picks up the mount on #5-Galaxy Tax(4-1).

$1tri- 7/1,5,8/1,4,5,6,8

Race 7: #4- Jewel's N Roses(6-1) is bred to be a sprinter but has the most upside of these; #5- Salish(5-2) is a logical contender after a close-up second at this level last time, gets Centeno which will suppress the price further. #1- Heartaches(7-2) goes first off the claim on the stretchout, should handle the added ground.

Race 8: Looks like a battle between #3- Too Many Sins(2-1), #6- Groovy Kid(3-1), and the late running #1- Jet Prop(6-1).

$1pick3- 7,8/1,4,5/1,3,6 (races 6-8)

Race 9: #5- Mill Point(10-1) had a rough trip, flew home. #6- Coffee Cake(5-2) goes for Matz/Centeno in first start since October, on paper should crush these. #9- Ocean Prospect(8-1) made a promising debut, now tries turf with foggy pedigree, Hyatt knows how to do this.

Got the first two legs home, but inexplicably left the logical #2 off the third segment. Need to right the ship soon.
