You may notice all those horses are running SUNDAY!!!


In the case they figure this out in time, which I doubt, here is the text from his "analysis" (notice that word starts with "anal"!).


BETTING STRATEGY
The best pick four of the meet begins with one of the toughest Grade 1s of the season. Except for the two inside posts in the Matriarch Stakes (race 7), every starter has a shot. It does not get any easier two races later when a competitive field of 13 races a mile and a quarter in the Hollywood Derby (race 9).
The suggested $108 play is the familiar top-and-bottom strategy. It insists on wins by either Max Power in race 8, or longshot import Fight Club in race 9. A secondary backup ticket will single Matriarch favorite Musical Chimes, and allow for backup horses to win both the next two legs.

Must be a rough week for them at Hollywoodpark. Their Eliminator showdown online contest yesterday didn't open up for selections until less than 2 1/2 hours before the normal closing. Normally it is open for selections 24 to 30 hours before post time. Makes it tough for those of us with a day job to keep up with it, and this was the 2nd time that happened.

Actually, one of my best pick 3 hits was made when I bet the 5th race when in reality it was the 3rd race pick that I wanted. Maybe Brad Free is using that strategy. :D

that's great.

I actually hit a 32-1 shot a couple of years ago betting spot plays from the day before.

That was when I learned to always use the use the date() funcion in report queries.
