Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch
A bettor can seldom go wrong wagering on a hot horse stepping up. So, no one should laugh if you take the price on Spy Session in tonight’s 10th race.
Nonetheless, that’s a competitive bunch that includes at least one horse with a very solid past, Sensational Knight, and one who is impressively consistent, Convergent Zone. Sensational Knight is in an easier spot.
Some of the distance-runners in the fifth race have run in features. Flying Whitesocks looks best on paper, but may be underpriced because he has been bearing out on the turns.
Here’s are tonight’s selections:
$2 daily double wheel combining PANDEMONIOUS in the first race with all 10 horses in the second ($20).
FIRST: $5 exacta box pairing PANDEMONIOUS with HOPE SPRINGS ($10).
THIRD: $5 to win on TOUCHA FLIER.
SIXTH: $5 to win on BRONZE MADDNESS. $2 quinellas pairing BRONZE MADDNESS with JUST CALL ME DANDY, J O DIPLOMAT and SMALL TOWN REVEL ($6).
SEVENTH: $10 to win on TOO TRUE SLEW.
NINTH: $2 exactas wheeling DURA NOVA to the field ($12).
Original bankroll: $3,000.
Friday: Lost $22.60.
Saturday: Won $25.
Present bankroll: $2,446.50.
Such a modest profit takes the edge off 10 wins in two days, but it’s a step in the right direction.
