Now let’s get ready for some winners for the upcoming weekend..!!!

I was up in the Del Mar Turf Club Saturday afternoon and the “Real Housewives of Orange County” (BRAVO Network TV show)  were filming thier TV show up there. I approached them and gave them my tip sheet with all my angles and before I knew it I was invited up to their suite and became their private handicapper.  I had several winners on the afternoon, but most importantly I nailed the 7th race with the winner #12 as my top selection. Race 7 was important because it was the race which they presented the trophy to the owners in the winners circle.  I had to leave early to go to the SD Chargers game, although they promised me when they rolled the cameras later that afternoon that they would give me a plug!!!  How cool is that? check out a couple of the photos with Gretchen & Slade!!!

Going 9 for 9 and hitting everything under the sun, I crushed today’s card at Arlington!!! Imagine that… me touting a winning day (grin)!!! This is how things went down….

Great start for a Saturday……!!!

Well it’s not exactly a great pay-off, but we’re alive to play another day.  It’s kind of like that saying that says “a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work”.  A gravy win is better than a loss and I’ll aways take it no matter how small it is!  By using the top 4 seletions on Nick’sPicks a $256.00 ticket paid $558.40….. 

Oh…and by the way Nick’sPicks just happened to have 9 winners out of 9 races for 100% win percentage!!!

GIDDY UP!!!

Thursdays must be the day to play as you can see from my posts below…… As I sat up in the Turf Club I bitched when the #10 horse in the 6th race got scratched to the favorite #3, making me now have the chalk twice in the 2nd leg of the Pick 4. The first leg already came up with the chalky favorite so you can see why I was feeling this way. Well what I thought was my misfortune actually came out in my favor in the end. The #3 eventually won the 2nd leg which gave me 2 live tickets with 2 races to go. Then it was up to small field in the feature 8th race. The #2 horse who actually won the race was DQ’d to the longest shot on the board at 16-1….. guess what??? That #4 was my 4th selection on Nick’sPicks. The 2nd favorite came in in the nightcap and that was all she wrote!!! A couple Pick 3’s and a nice way to close out my Thursday!!!
