Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

If trainer Mel White doesn’t have a fine night, will he or my bill collectors be the more disappointed?

White, who runs dead-fit horses ready to do their best, has Sabotage Power in the second race, Carolinedrovehome in the fifth, Stormy Wake in the seventh and Bubbling Stew in the eighth. Two wins seem probable, three plausible and four possible.

Thanks to Bill Thompson for tending the bankroll. Here are today’s selections:

FIRST: $5 daily double pairing STARSBORN with SABOTAGE POWER and MER RITA.

SECOND: $10 to win on SABOTAGE POWER. Divide winnings between CAROLINEDROVEHOME and BUBBLING SLEW.

FOURTH: $10 to win on MYOMY.

FIFTH: $10 to win on CAROLINEDROVEHOME.

EIGHTH: $10 to win on BUBBLING SLEW and $1 trifectas pairing him with every combination of TOY JUMPER, SHARP PIRATE, NASKI’S MESSENGER and NO U DA MAN($12).

Original bankroll: $2,000.

Saturday’s result: Lost $28.

Sunday’s result: Won $9.

Present bankroll: $2,063.70.
