He then criticized the availability of dime supers and fractional wagers. He hasn't got a clue about anything and paints the most negative picture he can whenever he can. Love the Morose moniker!!<BR/><BR/>I'm actually cool with the decline if I can get a nice racing season rental next year at lower prices than I did a few years ago. I am temporarily priced out of the market right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-74311843245881065772008-07-29T20:08:00.000-04:002008-07-29T20:08:00.000-04:00From Sunny Jim in JerseyYeah, you got to pick and ...From Sunny Jim in Jersey<BR/><BR/>Yeah, you got to pick and choose your spots, especially on a day like yesterday when popcorn was falling out of the clouds. <BR/><BR/>Crist had the late Pick 4, as in $37,000???

Would also like to go to the Hambo on Saturday, but I have this rule about trying to cross the Hudson River two days in a row.<BR/><BR/>Bob - I didn't mind the "preview" type stakes they had last year, but I'm liking this year's format less and less as it approaches. As you probably know, I'm open minded about the synthetic surfaces....but what do I know, I like Nancy Pelosi too (sometimes).<BR/><BR/>Jim - Thanks for your message of support the other day. I love the rolling doubles too, but those dollar part wheels can sure add up over the course of the day and sneak up on the old wallet! Crist had that late Pick Four yesterday, he's a bettor man than me!Alan Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12570505944559196118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-59663609977245063362008-07-29T16:45:00.000-04:002008-07-29T16:45:00.000-04:00From Sunny Jim, also from Jersey We were talking a...From Sunny Jim, also from Jersey <BR/><BR/>We were talking about the new rolling Daily Doubles the other day, and on Monday's Spa card out of 9, the last 6 doubles paid $195 or higher. The other 3 paid $124, $74 and $24. <BR/><BR/>I was not betting either yesterday, but if those big weekday fields full of maidens and conditional claimers are going to be a graveyard for favorites, I'll be spreading some $1 Doubles around and see what happens.<BR/><BR/>Seems a mite easier than Pick 3's and Pick 4's, too, especially on a day like yesterday.<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-68733743479045655222008-07-29T10:10:00.000-04:002008-07-29T10:10:00.000-04:00I don't like wax surfaces.

I'll play aqueduct that day instead.<BR/><BR/>Bob from NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
