It’s a Mirage; I’m Tellin’ Y’all it’s Sabotage
After seeing what the pick four paid on Tuesday at Colonial Downs (races four through seven), I’ve decided to focus on the track in the hope of securing a similar overlay using two 9-to-2 horses and two favorites.
After taking care of my husbandly duties at home (e.g., walking/feeding the dog, laundry, starting dinner), I settled in with my Friday Colonial PPs, my Equineline account, and my Pilot G-2 05 blue pen to begin handicapping the twilight pick four.
Much to my dismay, some of the races aren’t coming up on Formulator.
No matter, I’ll just tackle that two-year-old MSW race (the sixth) by looking up some pedigrees and trying to unearth some juvenile and/or turf form. Whoa there, big fella! Nothing doin’ there either. Equineline accepts my orders but cannot retrieve the actual information.
Clearly this is a bipartisan conspiracy (have you ever seen Democrats and Republicans get along as well as they did today at the Congressional hearing?) to keep people from participating in Thoroughbred racing.
Many of us saw/heard firsthand the horseplayer getting ignored during the hearing, and the subcommittee has already put its words into action by keeping us from handicapping our favorite tracks.
At the very least, NYRA heard I started my boycott of its signal over the takeout increase, and it has made all information to other tracks inaccessible to me.
Either way, I’m getting out my tin foil hat.
Seriously, though … check out those charts I linked to (races four through seven) and tell me how that pick four returned $2,900+ for a deuce.
