Get A Hunch, Bet A Bunch

Today’s Graduation Stakes, a sprint for 3-year-olds, pits Emerald Downs invader Super Raptor, a colt, against Claire Morn, a filly, and a couple recent winners. It’s February. Go with the colt.

Friday, despite bets on four winners, there was a small loss, demonstrating again that it’s tough to show a profit when most winners pay close to even money.

Here are today’s selections:

FIRST: $10 to win on CLEVER DOLL.

THIRD: $10 to win on PRECIOUS NOTE and $5 quinellas pairing her with ANGEL’S MISTRESS and BEAR BUNNY ($10).

FOURTH: $5 quinella baseball of BENTON CITY BARON, MINER’S BASIN and SIR TIGER K. ($15).

SIXTH: $10 to win on SUPER RAPTOR. Parlay winnings to QUACKGRASS SALLY in seventh.

SEVENTH: $1 trifecta baseball of QUACKGRASS SALLY, LUCY IN THE SKIES, LADY YVETTE and P.D. TOO ($24).

Original bankroll: $2,000.

Friday’s result: Lost $6.

Present bankroll: $2,019.00.
