Daily Doubles

[Peter Gross]

I should apologize for indicating last April that I would post daily double picks. I see that there;s been 176 visitors who have found nothing which makes me look lazy. Trust me, putting this paper out takes up just about every waking minute. I like that this guy Pat placed a couple of his own picks. Anyone who visits here should feel free to suggest horses that look good and then brag when they come in.

I will be posting some picks soon. In the meantime, check out my Down The Stretch blog at www.fan590.com

I bet $18 (fictionally) in my picks earlier today and there was little to celebrate. I hit the first double at Woodbine, but it paid $25.10 so half of that is $12.55 - my net loss was 5.45.



Here's Sunday's doubles: The first race looks like a lock for the 7 Breakwithtradition, so let's break with the tradition of betting a sure thing and find two to beat it: I'll go fishing with #4 Barrichello and David Clark and #6 Fort Garry. You rarely get any kind of value on a horse Emma-Jayne rides, but this one might be overlooked. Hook those two up with these four in the second race: #2 Mr. Bowie (Wilson), # 4 Star Prospector (McAleney), #5 Big Love Bill (Ramsammy) and # 7 American Signature (Clark). Here's the thinking; Breakwithtradition is going to be even money. If we beat him, we're sitting on a good double and having the four best shots in the second will elevate our heart rate.

First Double, Woodbine: 4 & 6 with 2,4,5 & 7.

On to Saratoga: The first race is one of those strange 51/2 furlong turf sprints. I really like the 5 -horse, Sacred Icon, even if Jorge Chavez is riding. He hasn't been the same jockey since a terrible injury a couple years ago (just 5 for 73 this year at Saratoga). Still Sacred Icon has lots of speed in a short race that doesn't seem to have too many pace-setters. I'm also using the 12-horse, Ectoplasm, because I really loved Ghostbusters and somehow, this one will have to burst from the gate very fast to have a chance.



In the second race, here's the four: #1 entry of They're Late and Just A Coincidence ( wouldn't it be a coincidence if both of them were late?), #2 In Speight of It, # 3 Ducane (Jockey Alan Garcia is trying to win the Saratoga riding title) and # 8 Big Flirt.

Saratoga first double: 5 & 12 with 1,2, 3, & 8

I'm also working the double between races 5 and 6. Anyone want to join my lobby to persuade Woodbine to have rolling doubles on their cards? In the fifth, try # 4 Dinstinctive Doc and # 8 Love for a Price onto #6 Song of Charm, #7 Me Love, #11 Amanwella ( who looks much the best!) and # 13 Critical.

Saratoga 5th race double : 4,8, with 6, 7, 11, & 13



In the 9th race, the Grade 3 Saranac Stakes, I like #1 Vacation (Prado on the rail is the closest you will get at the track to printing your own money) and #8 Thou Swell. Latch those two onto these four in the tenth: #3 Casanova Move, #5 Mine All Mine, #6 Collegiate and # 7 August Rush.

Saratoga 9th race double: 1 & 8 with 3,5,7, &7



I think I spent $32 there...so I'm now down $37.45


Good luck. And check the internet tomorrow to see if Peppers Pride wins at Ruidoso Downs. She's gunning for a 17th straight win which would be a record for North American thoroughbreds.

Note that in yesterday's daily double picks for today (Sunday) I had a typo for the 9th-10th race double at Saratoga..the correct numbers should be:

1 & 8 with 3,5,6, & 7...


Thank you all for understanding.

Peter , everyone is watching the Gulf to see if Gustav is going to be a monster...Saratoga was a direct hit though for Gustav.....Marlang is a monster and was a cat 5 ...lol..Gustav "is getting rich and famous with Dos Ramos" not that he wasn't already... the horse is for real.

So far there has not been any success with the daily doubles I have posted at this blog I believe I have lost $52 from the daily doubles I have suggested this month.

Here's a stab at today's racing at Woodbine - Friday September 12:

In the first race, looks to me as if # 3 L.A. Rules will take a lot of money. His last race Beyer figure of 68 is much the best, but I'm going to bet around him, taking the #4 horse, Always a Gentleman. The rider is Chantal Sutherland who has been awesome lately and his bloodlines go back to Great Gladiator, one of my favourite suppliers of DNA to the racing game. Always a Gentleman has never raced, but has several very sharp workouts, and quite frankly, this isn't a very special group of Maiden Special Weights.

I'm also taking #5 B'cause B'cause, b'cause, be'cause...it's ridden by Jono Jones and it just might be ready to run a complete race after two less than brilliant efforts. I like the front-running move he made last time out. Maybe he gets the jump on these and feels brave in the stretch.

In the second race, there's only 7 horses and I'm going to take 4 of them. If I get the first race winner, I'll be a lock for the double. I figure both the #6 horse - Giant Act and #7 Laughing Moon will go for the lead against a field not rich in front speed...one of those might very well go wire-to wire... I'm also adding the #5 horse Urn who already has two wins at this distance (7 furlongs)..and # 3 Market Gain, trained by Mark Casse, ridden by Patrick Husbands....and cutting its claim price in half..

So the first race doubles are 4 and 5 with 3 ,5 ,6 and 7. At $1 each, I'm spending $8

We'll try the late double too and it's a real challenge:

In the 8th race, I like Robert Landry on #5 Red Birkin... these are good grassers going a mile and a sixteenth and Red Birkin has already had several very good races on the lawn at Woodbine, Keenland Monmouth and Saratoga. I'm putting in the #8 Northern Kraze because a) you have to take every horse on the grass when Chantal Sutherland is riding and b) yesterday the guy who owns the sire Aljabr called asking to buy an ad in my newspaper, Down The Stretch, so I'm hoping he sees this!. Also, I like #10 Pleasant Mix, hoping that Jerry Baird can duplicate the winning ride he gave on on 15th at this distance. Pleasant Mix will be more than 10-1.

In the ninth...I'll go with #3 Silver Pizzazz even though this one hasn't run in 16 months. I'm adding # 4 She'sminenotyours, a three year-old filly that has shown a little interest in her two races so far...and I'm also including the #9 horse Box Wine Betty, another Husbands-Casse combo that won't light up the toteboard if she wins .

The late double, then is 5,8 and 10 with 3, 4 and 9 for a total of $9.
