Saratoga
First race

I went with the 3, even though the 7 does scare me a bit.

I also bet #3 to win. Used #1 and #2 a little bit in the Double and Pick3.

WO R1

think the 6 (3:1 presently) is every bit as good a bet as the 2 (even money)

She looked as if she was making a move, but got fanned out into the parking lot.

In my opinion, the day's cards, at WO and SAR, are TERRIBLE. I know the SAR faithful would disagree but this is not a good day for wagering.

I'm even looking to DEL.

2nd at Saratoga looks like a pass unless you like eating chalk. That one looks pretty solid coming out of both a fast and high quality field. If you must play, Ward is not particularly good with 1TS and has been bet to 5-2. That one is probably an underlay, but Ward is usually not as bad when he gets bet heavy like this. So I think it's best to just pass.

Half the card is unbettable. I kinda expected this on a Monday though. I'm a spot player, so I really don't mind, but I would like to have more options in the first place.

To clarify the last post a little, I was saying that the Ward horse was probably a "bet against" but I couldn't see anything beyond the favorite and didn't want to take that price. The favorite stumbled and got bumped at the start, but never did any serious running after that.
