Saturday Observations
Why is it that when you’re at the gym on the treadmill 30 minutes seem like 6 hours, but when you’re playing the races on a Saturday afternoon 6 hours seem like 30 minutes?This Saturday is chock full of great racing and betting options. One race I’m looking forward to is the Grade II Iselin Stakes at Monmouth Park (Race 11). With a win REDDING COLLIERY will make a statement he belongs among the best in the older male handicap division. Plus, he’ll offer a little more betting value than morning favorite I WANT REVENGE. At 4-1 GONE ASTRAY can’t be dismissed either and I’ll play him in the exacta with REDDING COLLIERY.
Arlington Park has an all turf stakes race Pick 3 (Secretariat, Beverly D, Arlington Million) that some of my favorite bloggers are diagnosing. Check out AmateurCapper and Tony Bada Bing‘s thoughts. And for good measure, AmCap offers a potential bomb in Saratoga’s Alabama Stakes with TIZAHIT (20-1).
My friend Chris Hernandez (and fellow Team Blame member!) offers his thoughts on the G1 Alabama at Saratoga and the Del Mar Oaks. Chris and I agree wholeheartedly about HARMONIOUS in the Oaks. As for the Alabama, I’m not sure what will happen, but with BLIND LUCK’s penchant for close finishes it figures to be exciting.
Good luck!

Steve,
Thanks for posting my video and referencing me in your blog. Now if I could only string together a few winners….

My pleasure Tony, the Saratoga video was flat out awesome.
BTW, your Pick 3 ticket was golden until about 5 yards before the wire in the last leg.
