Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

Two important issues arise at the start of every meet - horses for the course and indicator races.

Horses for the course, you can’t miss. Look at the Playfair record of Jacob Brown in tonight’s eighth race, or Gee Oh Dee in the third. Indicator races produce winner after winner, all season long. Spot early races in which the losers look like future winners and you’ll have a good meet.

Here are today’s selections:

FIRST: $10 to win on PLANNED SABOTAGE and wheel him in the $2 daily double ($16).

THIRD: $10 to win on POETS DREAM and $5 quinellas pairing her with GEE OH DEE and SHIPPING MONEY ($10).

FIFTH: $10 to win on CHOCLATE COFFEE. Parlay any winnings to SHAD ROE DEE in sixth.

SIXTH: $10 to win, $10 to place on SHAD ROE DEE.

EIGHTH: $1 trifecta wheeling JACOB BROWN to every combination of WHISPER O SMOKE, OCCASIONALLY LUCKY and BEAVER PELT ($6).

Original bankroll: $2,000.
