Wednesday August 21 - Sunday August 25
The "weekend" started off with racing on Wednesday night from Woodbine (haven't done that in a while, and next week is Woodbine Millions Night) and continued Thursday from Europe before the usual Friday card from Monmouth. Then Travers Day from Saratoga highlighted Saturday's card and finally it was New Jersey Breeders' Festival Day on Sunday at Monmouth. The weekend was also highlighted by the start of the college football season as my Florida Gators took on the Miami Hurricanes in a "Pre-Season Kickoff Classic" from Orlando. Wasn't the best-played game, but opening games rarely are, but it was exciting with the Mighty Gators winning 24-20.
Wednesday August 21: Night Time Racing From Woodbine
First post was at 6:45 pm and I had six selections from the eight races. When I logged on about 10 pm to watch the replays, I opened the first race and as the final horse loaded in the gate I noticed there was no one in stall #1 - my horse. Scratched. Sigh..... On to the second, a MSW going five and a half furlongs for two-year-olds. One of the only ones with experience Avie's Samurai had broken in the air then contested a :45 and change pace before weakening. The experience and early speed should spell the difference. Drew off with authority as the 3/2 favorite. In the fifth (no bets in races 3 or 4) my pick faded to 6th at 4/1. The sixth was the night's feature, the third leg of the "Woodbine Turf Sprint Series" and I liked Reconfigure. Six of the eight had raced against each other, the perfect situation for a "new shooter." There were two: one was a 20/1 outsider who was beaten a combined 39 1/2 lengths in his last three and my pick Reconfigure. He had rallied to be third against second level allowance rivals first off the claim last out. Drops today and is lightly raced (6/4-1-1) who's never run poorly. The pace HE faced in his last three were all much faster than anything anyone else in here has raced. Sat near the back on the rail through the turn, swung five wide into the lane but was still sixth at the furlong pole. Then found another gear and swept by in the final 100 yards to win going away as the "best" of the night.
In the seventh Subzero Plus went right to the front in a claiming sprint and easily wired the field. And in the eighth and finale Dulcibelle followed the strategy employed by Reconfigure....saved ground on the rail to the stretch, swung out four wide and blew by in an instant then drew off by multiple lengths to cap a wonderful 4-for-5 evening of racing! Whoooo hooooo.
Thursday August 22: York Race Course Ebor Festival
I had read in online publications that on Wednesday Crystal Ocean was running in the 10 furlong Group 1 Juddmonte International and on Thursday Enable was running in the 12 furlong Group 1 Yorkshire Darley Oaks. After the two had dueled in a dramatic stretch run a month ago with Enable winning her 12th of thirteen career starts somehow Crystal Ocean was still ranked as the World's #1 race horse. As much as I didn't agree I thought enough of the ranking to play him Wednesday and he was nailed on the wire. Made me wonder if Enable would be vulnerable. She faced only three others, but one of them was the multiple group winner Magical whom she'd had a dramatic stretch duel with at Churchill Downs in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf where the two fillies beat all the best males in the world. She'd topped Magical earlier in this year also. My only concern with the short field was the race flow....who would lead, would Enable have a target? But the day of the race I read that she'd been on the lead previously and I thought world-class jockey Frankie Detorri might just use that strategy. Indeed, right to the front and a mile and a half later she was widening away from Magical as a "prime time" winner for me.
Friday August 23
An unusually low percentage win day for me at Monmouth as I went 2-for-7, but I hit with the day's "best" in the 2nd with Lasting Legacy and again with a double investment so that for the day it was a minuscule loss. And I took heart in the fact that for the week I was still 6-for-13, almost 50%. Truly, you can't expect to win them all. Friday night was also the opening game for our son Jeff's team in California, the Santa Margarita High Eagles. They came away with a resounding win which made Daddy and both boys very happy!
Saturday August 24: Travers Day at Saratoga
For several summers it's been my experience that I do far, far better handicapping at Monmouth than at Saratoga so that's where I do my daily selections. With today's stakes-laden card - seven graded stakes including six Gr 1 events - I wondered how the day would turn out. To my surprise it was another low percentage day at Monmouth, but I had a good day at the Spa. With it being such a big day first post was at 11:35 am. Today was also the first day of college football so I watched "College Game Day" from 9 am to noon, with there being the initial overlap. But I was glad that the only game today was the Gators' game which didn't kick off until 7 pm so I could focus on the racing. In the Saratoga opener, a nw2x allowance on the turf EITHER of the Chad Brown-trained, Klaravich Stable-owned runners would have been odds on. But as an entry they were tough to go past. Still, turning for home they were at the back and just beginning to run....at the sixteenth pole and still not in front yet, but Frontier Market had momentum and was up in the final strides as my first winner on the day.
Look closely at jockey Irad Ortiz - hard to tell, but he'd dropped his whip at the furlong marker and I'd thought it odd watching the first slo-mo replay that he was adjusting his goggles in the final yards, but upon further review, he took them off and used them as his whip. THAT is why he's world class. No play in the second and missed in the third. Monmouth's opener, oddly, was the feature race of the day - the Unbridled Essence going a mile and a half on the turf. My top pick was Sky Full of Stars, but he scratched. I was going to pass the race but noticed my second choice, Homeland Security was the odds-on favorite in the betting. Re-read my analysis/comments and re-examined the pp's then went with him. He collared the leader in mid-stretch and drew off for my second win, first stakes winner of the day.
I was second at 3/5 in the second at Monmouth and then the first of all the graded stakes began at Saratoga. The fifth was the Grade 1 Forego. I'd had big wins with Mitole earlier in the spring/summer, but last time out he disappointed. I thought that race came with excuses and I was hopeful that I'd get a more "fair" price than what I thought he should be which was about 1/5. Sure enough the crowd let him slip away at 4/5 and he was dominant, allowing me to cash for nearly $30.
I'm off to a good start with three wins from five picks! But it was to be a long afternoon with the next thirteen selections over a span of nearly four hours only producing one more winner. AND there were an inordinate amount of second place finishers..... the fourth at Monmouth saw me run second at 3/2 odds; the fifth at Monmouth I was 2nd at 4/5 after leading into the stretch. And in the ninth I ran second at Monmouth at 5/2 odds. The Grade 1 Ballerina at Saratoga I wasn't convinced that any of them were clear-cut choices but I went with an improving Chad Brown runner, 5th at 2/1. In the Grade 1 Jerkens EVERYONE was excited to see Jorge Navarro's Shancelot who was going to be odds-on and clearly a wire-to-wire winner after earning the best sprint Beyer (121) any three-year-old had earned in the 47 year history of Beyer speed figures. I thought he WAS a bounce candidate, but even if he digressed to his previous, a 100 BSF he'd win by daylight. Clear into the lane at 1/5 he got tired and was caught in a blanket finish by four runners. The winner of the photo ironically had been my pick in a $75K listed event at Laurel when Keith and I were there and the owner was so livid we saw him come storming down the stairs inside to go berate the rider. And here he wins a $600 Grade 1 at double digit odds. Wow. I was ninth in the Gr 2 Ballston Spa on the turf with a Chad Brown runner at 2/1 - his "other" horse won at 7/1 odds, wow-squared. I missed in two races where I zigged when I should have zagged. I went back and forth in the Grade 1 Personal Ensign between Midnight Bissou who was unbeaten this season and Elate who had been my Bet of the Weekend when Keith and I were on our Track Trip in the Grade 1 Delaware Handicap. In the end I went with Elate despite the fact she'd lost to 'Midnight twice this season because today's race was at 9 furlongs and 'Midnight was a perfect 9-for-9 at 8 1/2 furlongs - the distance of those two wins over Elate - and 0-for-3 at today's 9f trip. It was an epic stretch duel with Elate getting the jump, getting caught and then the two going head-up and head-down to the wire. Soooo close. Then in Monmouth's 11th I went back and forth between Proper Manners and She's So Shea D. I'd bet the latter earlier in her career and it would make a great story because the name reminds me of one of my all time favorite ex-students, Christy Shade (who's Facebook "name" is Sea Shadey). I was third behind 'Shadey.
In the Grade 1 Travers, the highlight of the day I thought it could go any of six or seven ways and my third choice won when I finished fifth at 7/1 odds. Ironically two of the three next wins to close the day came with horses I originally didn't plan to bet. In the twelfth at Saratoga it was a 5 1/2 furlong turf sprint in second level allowance company. Looked wide open to me, but I noted that IF the also eligible runner, #13 Dowse's Beach were to draw in I'd like him despite the wide post. Sure enough, there were four scratches and the Jason Servis runner got in. All winter he'd been nearly unbeatable with jockey Irad Ortiz up and the two scored here in a tight photo on the wire.
The double-investment returned nearly $35. The 13th at Saratoga had originally been a "PASS" for me. But early Saturday morning I was going through various web sites and ran across Jeff Siegle's "Day-Maker" video picks for Saratoga. His second one was my top choice in the finale at the Spa, a maiden special going 8 1/2 furlongs on the turf. I liked Chad Brown's filly, Magic Star who'd drawn a $500K sales bid and looked to be any kind with solid works. Well, Siegel's video pointed out that she'd been working with the top 3yo filly in the country, Dunbar Road and running stride for stride with her.
I decided to triple the bet. She got bet down to favoritism and as they spun into the lane I thought maybe I'd made a bad decision....
But she found a seam, got outside and blew by under a very confident hand ride. Mark this one down as a future stakes star! The triple investment resulted in a payoff of nearly $40. So in two races I collected over $70 with two bets that originally I had no intention of making. Gotta love the racing game :) Post time for that last race in New York was 6:54 pm. My last bet of the day came at Del Mar where the feature race was the Grade 2 Pat O'Brien. Last year Catalina Cruiser had become the first thoroughbred ever to win the two-turn Grade 2 San Diego Handicap and come back to win the one-turn, 7 furlong Grade 2 O'Brien. He'd won the San Diego a month ago in a workman like effort and I thought he'd step up and run huge today. But when he made his move turning for home he was immediately challenged by the second choice, Giant Expectations who had good numbers, but had not won a race in two years - compared to Catalina Cruiser who sported a 7-for-8 career mark with five graded stakes wins over the last two years. At about the furlong marker 'Giant got his head in front and I thought it was over, but the champion battled back and won in a gutsy performance.
So for the day, closing with three straight wins, I finished a good 35% (7-for-20).
Sunday August 25: NJ Thoroughbred Festival Day
Topped the long weekend off with wight selections on the 12-race NJ state-bred card. The three race winning streak continued from the end of Saturday with not one but FOUR straight wins at Monmouth. When I was handicapping the card I was hesitant after the first four races because I really try to evaluate each race and each bet independently of the others. So if I like a horse, like Bramble Bay in the opener enough to play a triple-investment, that SHOULDN'T affect how much I want to play on the next race. But after passing the second I felt as strongly about the third race play. Then when I handicapped the fourth, I thought that I'm Listening was an even stronger play. Am I over-evaluating and playing too much money? Then when I came to the 10th race I liked Dial Operator enough to go "prime time." Well if that's the case, I honestly can say I don't like him as much as I'm Listening in the fourth, so I upped that bet. As the day began I hoped that I wasn't throwing all my money away, but I've learned that it's the long run that counts. One day to the next I can't worry about how much I'm betting or winning/losing. I know over the long haul that I'll win consistently. And so in the first Bramble Bay left the gate as the prohibitive 1/5 favorite and won for fun. In the third Kodiak Katie was well off the pace into the turn, but came running in the lane. Caught the leaders inside the furlong marker and edged clear to win by daylight. Also a short price at 4/5, and I couldn't help but think that I could lose with I'm Listening with my $30 investment and be sitting here 2-for-3 and behind for the day. But full speed ahead. The fourth was an entry level allowance going a mile on the turf. Of the combined seventy-seven Beyers earned by the rest of the field, there was one, count them ONE figure that could top the LAST FIVE earned by my pick, I'm Listening. The field had a 6-for-77 record on the turf, while 'Listening was 2-for-7 and 1-for-3 at the distance. And she was the DRF best of the day. Turning for home Paco Lopez had him in hand and came to the leader at the furlong pole, asked for a spurt of acceleration. He cleared and was geared down to a bigger than it looked win.
In the fifth, it was the first of the three state-bred stakes, the Charles Hess Handicap. As I began looking at the runners I thought it was obvious when I got to #3 Golden Brown. Big Beyers, big wins here vs. state-breds and exiting a strong try at Saratoga. But then I came to the six horse, Sunny Ridge who also was a strong candidate and he'd won the Gr 3 Salvatore Mile, HERE (for me). I thought they were pretty evenly matched but I just "felt" like Golden Brown was the better play. And as I noted in my analysis, maybe I was making too big a deal of it, but Paco Lopez had once ridden Sunny Ridge and while he had not been up recently, the most recent win jockey was at Saratoga, but Lopez stuck with Golden Brown. Sure enough Golden Brown was closer to the front than Sunny Ridge, moved first and cleared first. Then Sunny Ridge was flat through the lane. SCORE!
Just my "luck" that even though I went against the 3/5 favorite, my "upset" pick only paid 7/5. The last four picks of the day, ALL of them, ran second. At 4/5, 1/5, 9/5 and 3/5. Still, who can complain about a 4-for-8 day at the track? And for the week.....43% wins!!!!
Next week, being Labor Day Weekend there's no racing at Monmouth on Friday, but live racing Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I leave Tuesday for Europe with my sister so next weekend will be the official end of the Summer Racing Season. Once I return I'll back off for the Fall Championship Season and begin to "rest and recharge" for the Gulfstream Championship Meet beginning in December. Are we really talking about that already? WOW.
In the seventh Subzero Plus went right to the front in a claiming sprint and easily wired the field. And in the eighth and finale Dulcibelle followed the strategy employed by Reconfigure....saved ground on the rail to the stretch, swung out four wide and blew by in an instant then drew off by multiple lengths to cap a wonderful 4-for-5 evening of racing! Whoooo hooooo.

Sunday August 25: NJ Thoroughbred Festival Day
Topped the long weekend off with wight selections on the 12-race NJ state-bred card. The three race winning streak continued from the end of Saturday with not one but FOUR straight wins at Monmouth. When I was handicapping the card I was hesitant after the first four races because I really try to evaluate each race and each bet independently of the others. So if I like a horse, like Bramble Bay in the opener enough to play a triple-investment, that SHOULDN'T affect how much I want to play on the next race. But after passing the second I felt as strongly about the third race play. Then when I handicapped the fourth, I thought that I'm Listening was an even stronger play. Am I over-evaluating and playing too much money? Then when I came to the 10th race I liked Dial Operator enough to go "prime time." Well if that's the case, I honestly can say I don't like him as much as I'm Listening in the fourth, so I upped that bet. As the day began I hoped that I wasn't throwing all my money away, but I've learned that it's the long run that counts. One day to the next I can't worry about how much I'm betting or winning/losing. I know over the long haul that I'll win consistently. And so in the first Bramble Bay left the gate as the prohibitive 1/5 favorite and won for fun. In the third Kodiak Katie was well off the pace into the turn, but came running in the lane. Caught the leaders inside the furlong marker and edged clear to win by daylight. Also a short price at 4/5, and I couldn't help but think that I could lose with I'm Listening with my $30 investment and be sitting here 2-for-3 and behind for the day. But full speed ahead. The fourth was an entry level allowance going a mile on the turf. Of the combined seventy-seven Beyers earned by the rest of the field, there was one, count them ONE figure that could top the LAST FIVE earned by my pick, I'm Listening. The field had a 6-for-77 record on the turf, while 'Listening was 2-for-7 and 1-for-3 at the distance. And she was the DRF best of the day. Turning for home Paco Lopez had him in hand and came to the leader at the furlong pole, asked for a spurt of acceleration. He cleared and was geared down to a bigger than it looked win.
In the fifth, it was the first of the three state-bred stakes, the Charles Hess Handicap. As I began looking at the runners I thought it was obvious when I got to #3 Golden Brown.

Just my "luck" that even though I went against the 3/5 favorite, my "upset" pick only paid 7/5. The last four picks of the day, ALL of them, ran second. At 4/5, 1/5, 9/5 and 3/5. Still, who can complain about a 4-for-8 day at the track? And for the week.....43% wins!!!!
Next week, being Labor Day Weekend there's no racing at Monmouth on Friday, but live racing Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I leave Tuesday for Europe with my sister so next weekend will be the official end of the Summer Racing Season. Once I return I'll back off for the Fall Championship Season and begin to "rest and recharge" for the Gulfstream Championship Meet beginning in December. Are we really talking about that already? WOW.
