Well race fans I Thought I Beat This Nag in 2008

Just when I thought I had beat this nag in 2008 and the road to the Triple Crown 2009 was begining. Unfortunately I got bad news from Doc Arshad Today. My white blood count has risen drastically once again. Last March it rose to 81,000, today it is 73,000. He is sending me to Dr.Rodger Herzig at the James Brown Cancer Center, he is a bone marrow transplant specialist. I will probably be admitted tomorrow and aggressive chemo will begin again. I'm not sure when I will be able to post next, so until we met again.

Best of Luck !

Monday's Results & Bris ROTD 12/23/08

Monday's Results - #3 Red Cajun finished 4th btn 7L, Leesville made a huge jump up, didn't see that coming.

Today's Race
9th Race - Philadelphia Park - Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008
Lots & lots of speed in here so since there are no strong trainer/jockey combo %'s we will look for a horse that is either the speed of the speed horses, a pressing horse, or a closer.

Looks like #5 Tzipi could be the speed 112/72 with 90 Bspd.
#7 - stars portent looks like a good early presser @ 106/76 with 89 Bspd.
#11 - Dance of jewels looks like the next best presser but a little slow 82/89 with a 80 Bspd.

We'll go with the #5 Tzipi with Bruce Levine 61% itm, $40 #5 Show.

Sunday's Results & Bris ROTD 12/22/08

Sunday's Results
$20 Show #6 paid $28.00, #6 bet down to 7/2 aft 3 scratches.
The Bris contest ends the week on Sunday so I will also. For the last 7 days my picks have finished 1st 3 times, 8th once, 3rd once, 2nd twice[ Tracy R. @ Brisnet.com/race of the day ]
$20 show bets paid $188.00, ( 188.00 - 140.00) = $48.00 Profit, But as Twin Spires( on Louisville Mojo ) pointed out if I had parlayed my winnings since Tuesday 8th place finish They would have paid $196.00. That's $156.00 Profit.

Life goes on ...

FG Race 9 LA State Bred Alw 46000x1

1- Jumpin for Jason - ML 6/1 - 91+day layoff Asmussen 16%wins- Asmussen/Bridgmohan 30% w 2007 - 76Bsp
3- Cajun Red - ML 8/1 - 80 Bsp 7L State Bred mdn44k win
5- Grey Idle Man - ML 8/1 - 82 Bsp State Bred 20k claimers win
8- InTheForecast - ML 2/1 - 84 Bsp State bred alw46000x1 lost by a neck
9- Vicar of la - ML 6/1 - 83 Bsp State Bred alw41000x1 2nd by 4L 10 mos ago

Looks like #8 is the Lone speed, but if the 9 challenges him early coming off a 10 mo layoff, then maybe the 3 or 5 can close him out. The 1 is the wild card.

$20 show #3 Cajun Red

Cashcall results & Bris ROTD 12/20/08

Cashcall - There for a sec I thought I had it, 7 & 5 dualing for the lead, the 1 had to check hard behind the early speed fader #9, came on around, but got out kicked to the finish by the 6 & 10.

No real Standout Trnr/Jky combos, Clement(#1 ) and Graham( #9 ) are Big East Coast Turf Trainers, but Jenine Sahadi( #6 ) is no Slouch and at these Odds I'm going to have to bet the #6.

$20 Show #6

Bris ROTD & TG ROTW - THE CASH CALL FUT

Oh boy, It that time of year. owners dreaming of the KY Derby/Triple Crown Dream.
Every 2 turn Stakes race is Game On.
These can be some of the toughest race to handicap for the entire year.
Let's see who the contender's are :

1-Azul Leon - solid pattern 2nd fastest coming in
5- Pioneer of the nile - fastest coming in Turf Pedigree 1st race on dirt like aw.
7- I want Revenge - Lightly raced, second fastest with rest, off a bounce, this colt is very live.
10- Bittel Road - Turf horse trying cushion track ?????????
11- Mr.Rod - Turf horse trying cushion track, working well at SA Pro-ride surface.

I like the 11 but, the outside post makes me thinks he's going to pay the piper.
so I'm going for a 10 cent superfecta :

1-5-7 WITH 1-5-7 WITH 1-5-7 WITH All
1-5-7 WITH 1-5-7 WITH all WITH 1-5-7
1-5-7 /all /1-5-7/ 1-5-7
all /1-5-7 / 1-5-7 / 1-5-7

$5.40 X 4 bets = $21.60

GOOD LUCK ALL !
