Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

And here it is getaway day. Get a hunch and bet a bunch.

Assume the track will run the way it has most of the weekend, dooming most frontrunners and favoring middle closers or speed horses that don’t have to have the lead. Try to cash one last good bet. Try to pick the horse to win that bet. Ah, the possibilities. Good luck.

Here are today’s selections:

THIRD: $30 to win on EMMETTS LEATHERS and $10 quinella pairing him with RUNAWAY MACK.

FOURTH: $40 to win on CALSPUR. Split winnings between SALSIS in fifth race and MANTIS in eighth.

FIFTH: $20 to win on SALSIS. $10 quinellas with FANTASY BABY and I CHASE BULLS.

SIXTH: $100 to win on JAMES ROLLS.

SEVENTH: $10 quinellas pairing GEE OH DEE with CHAMPAGNEFORAFTON, INSTEAD OF CAL and DIXIE DEW.

EIGHTH: $50 to win on MANTIS.

Original bankroll: $2,000.

Saturday’s result: Won $14.10.

Sunday’s result: Lost $134.00.

Present bankroll: $1,494.
