Wayne ..
will NOT disagree with the Illinois Derby being a good one.....
recall last year .. WarEmblem was a leading choice for me, and I did well betting him to win
mostly based on his I/D performance
BUT
the ones I've listed, as well as my other points of
a) keep'em in
OR
b) chunk'em out
have "statistical validity" for ME...
I never use any info in my handicapping *(recall now, I only bet verrrrrrrrry selectively) that isn't MORE than 80% correct.
For the lurkers here ..
I limit my wagers to the following races
a) six fl CLAIMING sprints (my FAV)
b) turf @ any distance any conditions
c) some black type stakes (mayhaps a couple of dozen or so)
I rarely bet on anything besides these three kinds, or, more accurately, more than $20bucks on any beyond the scope of these three kinds......
I did, after all make a two dollar throwaway and eventual loser win bet @ Turf Paradise in the sixth ... I think it was the sixth .. heh heh heh ..
lost it anyhoo .... lol
I had liked the preceeding race, and had an alert sent to me when he ran again ....
so, I bet the two dollars .... <big spender me> as when I logged onto the site .. he was going off at 7/5 .. SO I backed up/down to $2 .....gggg
he did place, beaten by the fav @ 6/5
and,
I normally bet straight ONLY
a few exactas, and verrrrry few tris , an occasional dd ...
so ..
I'll have to leave out the Illinois Derby from my list for a few more years ..... <gggg> |
