JimG - December

[JimG]

$30 win and $70 to place on #1 in 9th race at GP.

He is tops on line, wheeling back in 15 days with good jock and post for the turf. Top LP and Top Energy. Let it Ride

He did not exactly wow them, but got the job done. Nice to hit an $8 winner to break my maiden at first asking. LOL Anyhow, for me turf is primarily about good position, late pace, class, and decent connections. This horse had it all for me. 5-1 when I posted but those pesky whales had to get their cut.

BTW, I used the perceptor paceline selection for the race. Results are below:

Good job Jim, and welcome. I only wonder why the winner (#1, GP 9) paid so much!

cheers,

BHP Race 6

$30 win and $70 to place on #6.

Not a particularly exciting pick on my part. 8.5 furlongs on the Turf. He is tops CR, APV, virtual tie on BL/BL, with explosive kick and Mike Smith riding. If the 5 runs back to his last race, I could get beat but my thinking is 5 regresses just enough that the 6 gets the job done. Used auto perceptor for pace line selection. Let it Ride.

5 is a better horse than I thought. Settled nicely and made the 6 work for the victory. Smith worried me with the 4 wide ride around the turn, but he had enough to win.

TUP Race 5 12/11/2012

I like the #3 Catorce De La Fama. Tops on the auto BL/BL using the perceptor line selection. I am a big fan of the change in running style last out. Normally an early speed horse, he uncharacteristically showed great late speed. I suspect he will be in good position early with enough kick to outfinish these.

The bet is $30 win $70 place on #3.

[JimG]

Ran like he did time before. Almost got up, but not quite. Squeaked out a little profit by putting considerably more on the place end.

[JimG]

Playing $30 win and $70 place on #9 Ellerslie Park. Tops on BL/BL. Outside post lets him see how the early speed shapes up. Ran two nice mdspwt races then dropped for a tag and switch to turf. Back on preferred dirt surface in a race with a class drop that should make him ultra-competitive here. Competent jock and trainer completes the picture.

[JimG]

Ran like it was a public workout. Easy win but I do not think he wants to go much past 6 Furlongs. Bet down from 4-1 morning line but that's how it goes.
