Eight winners last Wednesday either as the "Win Bet" or the "No Chalk" play, and we went 4 out of 5 in the The Big Philly Pick 5 missing in the last leg. Again, yesterday we missed the Big Philly Pick 5 when Fast Bob nosed out the 6 horse El Sobreviviente in Race 8 -- I correctly picked single plays in Race 10 and Race 11. So, we are due today for a Pick 5 winner! Interestingly, Fast bob made the ticket a few weeks back and spreading in the first race eliminated horses in later races. The Skinny Ticket is economical, but sometime it proves to be penny wise and pound foolish. However, you can always take The skinny Ticket and add horses to it.
The below chart shows the horse’s likelihood of winning a race. “A” horses are most likely while (B) and (C) horses are not as likely, they may offer more value. The formation of the (A), (B) and (C) horses is derived from speed of horse, pace potential of race, training patterns, and track conditions.
