9th

1A scratched

Race #9
 

I think this race is quite a bit like the 2nd race. The easy lead horse is the 3 who needs to be loose and hasn't run as well lately. I'm looking for a S type with a power move.

The others:

1: Didn't run well in tandem but didn't break well. Three back and ten back ran against solid paces and made big moves. Contender.
2: P type. OUT.
4: Last two bad races against paces she's handled before even though she had trouble 2 back. OUT.
5 and 6: Presser types. OUT.
7: S type against slow paces. OUT.

My choice is the 1 to win the race.

Just tuned in and watched the replays. Tim you got ripped for the second week in a row. We both found good paths to be on that 4 and...............not to be. And then we both get cheesed by a neck in the 9th. All I can say is Faaaaaaaaaaack!!!!

As you say this game can drive you crazy. Ever since my Liams Map meltdown at Saratoga I have been betting to place as a psychological crutch. Over the long haul I don't think it will be profitable (maybe over certain odds only) but it helps to stay sane.

So yesterday in real life I forked out $20/$20 on each horse in each race win/place. I rarely bet two horses anymore on a daily basis but I do mostly in the contest. So I ended up after putting out $160 with a $288 return for a profit at least, because of place, within a sniff of a really good profit if the 4 hit. And I am still sane. I think. Pretty sure place won't hold up long term especially going on two horses.
