From Wilkpedia:
Patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.

Over a year ago Hat asked me what MY specific goals and wants from racing were. I answered him with one word "Money".

He told me straight up "Rich then you need to NOT do what I do and play all the dang races at tracks. You need to multi-track and wait for races that show absolute "locks" to you and SPOT PLAY those only at 2/1 and above".

Now I want to show 2 winning spot play "locks" from last night's play (why I continue to play day tracks and lose is beyond me. Capetosto is not cutting it anymore. Just being a real dumbass to be honest. No mas.)

Before I show the 2 wins let me describe 3 LOSSES on horses I also considered absolute locks man:
1) Friday night's Sam Houston race that Mike laid out. I had 3 matching earlies(1,4,11) my absolute favorite spot play. Threw them out and matched around a 22.1 1st call and thought the #12 was a lock. Showed 2 races against that pace and sat 4th and 5th positionally at 1c in them. There is my horse. Goes off 13/1,never lifted his legs and I lose and move on. I'd make the same bet again.

2) Yesterday's Sam Davis stakes at Tampa Bay. I absolutely LOVED the #7 on a stretch out. He was by far the fastest horse in the race to me and could win running anywhere from 2nd to 4th position. Goes off 4/1 and loses. I STILL love the horse and he lost. Give me the race again and I bet the same horse. This is what Hat means by a "lock" ok?

3) Yesterday's finale at Aqueduct. Race packed with early and the #5 is fast and other than early. He's off 5 months coming to today's race. Obscure jock,trainer. Blah blah blah. Who gives a crap. That's "handicapping". We matchup horses down here in "Hat Check". Goes off 27/1 and does nothing.Next time when that horse shows himself again to me I bet him again. He will have a different name next time but it will be the SAME HORSE. A Lock.

So there are 3 losses. Spot play "lock" losses.
