Yesterday we had 8 of 10 winners on either A / B horse selections and 5 horses on our win bets. the Skinny Pick 5 Ticket went 4 out of 5. One problem that came about in three races was the ML favorite which I thought would win but not offer value actually was not the post time favorite so I either picked as win bet or bet against based on value. For example, I wrote 4 Morelli in race 1 was morning line favorite. I wrote he was deserving but decided to chase value then 4 Morelli sneaks off at 7-2. In Race 2, 3 Timeless Journey should have been the favorite, so I picked against based on value. 3 Timeless Journey wins at 5-1 --value! Again, in Race 6, 4 Send For Me which should have been morning live favorite pays 14.40. My two win bets in race 5 4 Evvie Jets and race 6 4 Send For Me paid $33.50 and the Pick 3 with my win bet in race 4 9 Texas Swing returned 126.50 with my win bets 9-4-4.
Yesterday Win bet payouts
Race 4 -- 9 Texas Swing paid $6.20
Race 5 -- 4 Evvie Jets paid $9.20
Race 6 -- 4 Send for Me paid $14.40
Race 9 -- 7 Mutamakina (GB) paid $6.60

The Skinny Ticket is the name for a low priced pick 5 ticket that allows for a big payout. The ticket usually relies on a single selection in the sequence and usually ranges from $18.00 to $75.00 in price. More information on The Skinny Ticket definition and how to play.

RACE 1
WIN BET-- 7 My Brother Kam
3 Paratus will be post time favorite but Junior and Mott are o for the meet -- cannot accept as favorite -- Maker's City At Night has Saez and speed so will avoid trouble and try to steal on front end -- However, Michael "The Mad Scientist " Dickinson ships in 7 My Brother Kam and lures Lezcano.
NO CHALK -- 8 Good Medicine
TAP and JJ 12-1 on the morning line -- I'll swing for the fence -- I also think 1 Imminent Storm may finally get preferred surface and 8-1 ML.
3,6,7,8 B 1,5
RACE 2
WIN BET 8 Two Cent Tootsie
While the 2 More Good Times and 3 Kissing Frogs will be everyone's play -- they offer no value -- 4 Stella Mars is a last out winner and I am a big fam of Jalon Samuel, but I like Carmouche on the 8 Two Cent Tootsie because he will avoid traffic issues and have a chance at the top of the lane.
NO CHALK 9 Lady Fatima
Dylan Davis back on to Lady Fatima offers better value than either the 2 More Good Times or 3 Kissing Frogs.
Spread race 2,3, 4, 8,9,10

WIN BET 3 Bustin Bay
Back to dirt and Irad sees fit to ride -- change to Lezcano.

3
RACE 4
WIN BET Emperor's Cause
1 Water;s Edge needs to get back to prior races -- like Saez on this horse who finished second last out-- 6 Full moon Fever can win if gets back to last year Big A form -- do not like lay-off horses.
NO CHALK 3 Bustin The Rules
Cancel rides for underrated trainer Charlton Baker -- he ships in with live mounts to the NYRA circuit -- hope to get 8-1.
