Woodbine Wednesday Night

R4) 7 Silver Bolt (9/2) set the pace of b-b very Closer favoring Flows - turns back to 7f.

R6) 2 Khulna (15-1) dropped to this Clm8k level last out with a pace setting effort of a very Closer favoring Flow. Turns back to 7f with two 5f works in hand - expecting a return to his off the pace tactics that were so effective a year ago.

BTW while Im sharing on this blog, I believe making selections in some contests with pre-selected races where their are more than 5000 picking takes a lot of luck, more so than making actual bets.To win a contest with so many entrants you have to be lucky, and you have to pick winning long shots.What you have to decide is which races to play chalk or one of the favorites, and which races to play bombs or longshots.

With so many people playing if a more than 50-1 shot wins I know a handful of people will have played it,so if it happens the ONLY way to have a shot at catching the players of the 50-1(which is capped at 30-1)is to Always play price horses which comes back to my belief that to simplify the process you have to pick races first and then horses.You have to decide if the contest races are mostly favorites or will have several bombs.

I think the lower levels of races that arent claiming which includes maiden claiming are the easiest to predict or handicap if you prefer that word.

MSW NX1 are the lifeblood of the trainers that receive the priciest stock EVERY YEAR.

I like to play any race where I can make my picks without having to RELY on past performances even if I look at them to make sure my memory dosent deceive me.A recent example was the Breeders Cup Classic, I knew barring a bad break the pace scenarios and the horses running styles in my hard drive(memory)which leaves the creative part of my brain to come up with exotic bets.

When you bet in any contest format which picks the exact races to play if you have experience in this game, you might not be able to utilize your strengths and preferences for what you actually wager on with REAL MONEY.

EJXD2 - The problem I have with stakes-based contests is that stakes aren't my strength in 'capping; believe it or not, I do better with maiden races, maiden claimers, conditioned claimers, that sort of race. Yet I have gotten suckered into trying to bet the stakes races by the offer of extra points and paid the price.

Hey, everyone! Thanks for the thoughts on the weekend promotion, though I have to admit I'm surprised to read concern that the prize is not in line with the cost to play or the time to handicap because in my view there is no cost to play (other than the takeout).

If you make a $5 win bet you either lose or get paid on it. If you win four of those bets then you also get to split 1-million points. You've paid nothing to be eligible for the 1-million points other than the takeout, which you'd have paid anyway even without the TwinSpires promotion.

Anyone cash in?

Thanks, Phil, and good to see your thoughts about the races as well. I didn't know the claiming crown horses very well, but these contests are a good way to practice. The other Big Guy girl surprised me in the Bayakoa.

Just got home and checked results. I had good, sucktatious, and too many 2nd places from my picks. Happy about Speaking Of Which. He had a horrible time in the Hollywood Derby. I think he was my win pick in that race.

Last week I played the Equibase free contest and picked 3 out of 8,not bad but I like those type of races to bet real money and I took 10 to 15 minutes to make my selections.This week the races are part of the Claiming Crown of which type I rarely bet,claiming races that is.I dont ponder over my picks as this is not a mathematical problem and there is more than ONE correct answer at least until the results come in.If I match last weeks win total of 3 I will be very surprised,btw place counts in this contest which I think is very logical because of all the photo finishes in horse racing.

Yes, if one does not bet horses, the promotion is not worth the 'time and monetary risk'.

I have to agree with brontexx - the reward, likely no more than a few thousand points, is not commensurate with the effort and monetary risk involved. I have taken part in this sort of promotion before and despite 'winning', I didn't get that much out of it. Sure, if I had been the *only one* to fulfill the conditions, I would have scored big time, but what are the chances of that? Slim to none.

Mary-

Yes, I know of your state's 'guns, no internet gambling' sentiments, but thought perhaps you'd get out to vote on a Saturday.

As for Lemonade, I've had stronger opinions, especially at just 5-1 in a full, competitive field. That said, she'll get a finny fin fin.

Mary Zinke — Sat, 07 Dec 2013 15:50:03 GMT

Hi Phil. I can't do any online voting, but you know I had to take a crack at an Ed challenge. Otherwise you guys/gals won't feel as comfortable posting your pace figure, energy distribution, upgrade/downgrade, pedigree/dosage, form cycle and "daily ten" picks. Mine are like who-can-do-it selections. GL to you, and all. P.S., Almost went with Somali Lemonade, but had a not this time feeling. Might not be a good reason to go against her.

Plod Boy Phil this is a subjective endeavor,I shared my opinion on the proposition of this bet versus the Kentucky Derby future bet and you expressed your opinion on my opinion.I have to inform you that I didnt bet in the 1st future bet and I definitely wouldnt bet to try to win points in this proposition.

Calder R8 My Charmer

9 Somali Lemonade (5-1) had no excuse when a failure for us in the Cardinal - a mysterious clunker that followed two straight upgraded efforts chasing the wire to wire winner of Speed favoring Flows. Enters with a snappy 4f work -4 days, if you like that sort of thing.

Gulfstream R7 Tiara, 8.5f Turf

6 Deanaalen'skitten (5/2) impressed with a late rush to win last out despite the Speed favoring Flow, aka a 'vs Plod Win'. The pace scenario may have this field spread out enough to give her room to travel - as I see it, getting stopped or going absurdly wide is all that gets her beat. A single to start the P4.

Brontex, if I may -

If one is a Twinspires account holder and has an opinion on at least four races from GP tomorrow, then that person could make their usual win bets at Twinspires. If the individual is a $5 win bettor, then the entire $5 is bet in the Contest. If one is a $20 win bettor, then $5 is Contest, and $15 is not. The $5 is not a donation. If the horse wins, you cash the full amount of the ticket.

This promotion does not resembles the November Derby Future Wager in any way. In each case, related or not, the wagering by choice.

K ?
