Aqueduct 10th - 2 years ago
Anyone know what happened to the 10 horse Grateful Bred after he broke through the gate and became a handful? It was a pretty quick late scratch. Whatever was happening had the attention of the other riders. Just hope he’s OK.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Breeders Cup Post Mortem - 2 years ago
The Breeders Cup races are always tough. Most of the horses who get in have a fighting chance and there’s a greater emphasis on post positions and trips, especially at a tight oval like Del Mar and especially on that turf course. There was some value to be had using the rail horses with tactical speed. There weren’t too many big surprises outside of Jackie’s Warrior and the 45-1 Japanese bombby jerry - Ask the Experts

I have to admit, the foul up actually helped me but I was only playing verticals.by jerry - Ask the Experts

He had two months rest between his Woodbine race and his Santa Anita race so he had plenty of time to acclimate. Did the barn just ship him out late?by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Georgina Baxter - 2 years ago
Both. They’re really trying to clean things up and the sport is, and always has been beyond repair. At least in this country it is. 30 days for holding a horse? They’re giving tacit approval to race fixing. For entertainment purposes only.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Great race. Ah the advantage of tactical speed at a mile. Winner and place horses had dream trips. Something afoul with Nazuna. Powerful sheet. Dead on the board. Dead on the track. I don’t get the heavy money on Chad’s other horse. A scary toss after yesterday’s feature race.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Hot money here and in doubles with the 4 and the 8 in the last.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Stiff Job - 3 years ago
All points well taken except this horse seemed to want to do more than either his trainer or jockey wanted to do. Also, the 8-1 was after they popped the gate. He was something like 14-1 before that and that wasn’t my money. Tab for next time.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Stiff Job - 3 years ago
Ok, final thoughts and observations. The horse was trying to bear out on the turn and for most the rest of the race. Needs to be gelded again.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Stiff Job - 3 years ago
Actually, all smart assing aside, just kidding by the way, the girl kind of hustles the horse forward after the horse breaks pretty well, looks like she wants the lead with him, gets it, then settles the horse into a nice stride and the horse seems to stumble a little bit. I think she thought he’d gone wrong. Maybe he did. Maybe she heard something pop but that’s a dead game 3 legged horse ifby jerry - Ask the Experts

I know I’m know but I’m retired. It’s too easy.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Stiff Job - 3 years ago
You know what? I just watched that race again, thank you for the link by the way it’s a good one, and I take it all back. That girl just can’t ride. There’s a point along the backstretch where the horse makes the lead and then maybe takes a bad step and she grabs him up. I don’t think there was anything wrong with the horse. She just panicked. Next time. $$$$by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Stiff Job - 3 years ago
Ok. I accept all of that. However, their should be a symbol in the program like TINTW, (trainer intent not to win) just to give bettors a heads up don’t you think? I mean it is a rule isn’t it that trainer and jockey will make a best effort to win a race? I already know it that it is and I’m just being a smart ass but doesn’t it kind of explain the degree of cynicism amongst most seasonedby jerry - Ask the Experts

Watch the stiff job on Zorb in race 8 at Laurel today. Beautiful game.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Anybody ever tip their toe into this place? I did tonight in race 2. That’s some introduction. So what’s up with this place? Anybody know? Hobos have a symbol that means “A beating awaits you hereâ€. I’ll have to look for it next time.by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: Mejia a fan of Penn & Teller ? - 3 years ago
The strange thing is the horse went off above his morning line although the favorite was 4/5 which could account for the overlay. Tough way to start your comeback from an injury. Life in the trenches must be tough.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Re: 1:08.05 - Boy Flightline is Fast - 3 years ago
I’m afraid you’re right although he might just be a better athlete. He’s a big horse if I remember correctly. Breeding does improve the breed.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Wow. If not it’ll be due to injury.by jerry - Ask the Experts

Re: DMR Derby - 3 years ago
Did in that race. Used his Jersey Joe smarts sitting patiently in that pocket waiting for the lead horse to come off the rail. Exciting race!by jerry - Ask the Experts
Re: DMR Derby - 3 years ago
Nice pick! Was it the fast sprint fig that put you on it? I couldn’t figure out what to do with that number. I went with it was too much and it would set him back. Guess they knew what they had. Good race.by jerry - Ask the Experts
