*** Main track continues to favor early/pressing types, but at a much lesser extent than previous weeks.
*** John Jacinto had a big week with 9 wins, and it could have been better had he not been DQ’d in Saturday’s 4th race. He teamed up with Pat Mouton for three of the winners, and with […]
Louisiana Downs review: Saturday (July 19th)
I pulled off an odd handicapping feat on Saturday @ LA Downs. I swept the card ten race card with my selections, but the only problem was seven of my 2nd choices won, and my 3rd choices nabbed the other three races. My tops garnered a trio of place finishes […]
The Sunday (July 13th) program at Louisiana Downs featured an impressive victory by a SoCal shipper, and I had another rock solid handicapping day with a trio of on-top winners. Let’s get to the highlights…
Race 1: My value oriented top Super Brad ($12.40) necked 3-5 fav BG Hi Hi Is Ben in the opener. The […]
I had a pretty good day handicapping the Saturday (July 12th) card at Louisiana Downs, as four of my tops got the job done, including Pursue A Dream ($13.00).
Race 4: 1.90-1 fav Jacobs Spirit made a wide winning bid around the far turn and briefly looked home free in early stretch, but he didn’t […]
The Friday (July 11th) card at Louisiana Downs was pretty much uneventful after the bombs away longshot fest on Thursday. Here are notes for the day that was…
Race 4: My top choice Song Production, 9-2 morning line, was dead on the board at 10.70-1, and she was hug out to dry from the outside post […]
My 3rd week as Louisiana Downs Track Handicapper started out in wild and wacky fashion to say the least. It was bombs away with winners paying $27.80 (race 2), $72.40 (race 3), $69.20 (race 4), $75.60 (race 8), and $49.80 (race 10). Both Pick 4’s paid on 2 of 4 winners…
Race 3: Tough trip for […]
The speed biased surface that was present on Sunday (June 29th) has disappeared as expected, but early/pressing types continue to make up the bulk of winners at most if not all distances on the main track.
July 3rd @ Louisiana Downs
Nice win by Andrew Leggio firster Flamingo Key in the opener. He came in early […]
The final day of my first week of work at Louisiana Downs produced a pronounced speed bias, with inside lanes holding the edge. There were eight virtual wire-to-wire winners, with Pyrite Ghost in the finale the only off the pace type to score. Also, in at least six races the top two stayed that way […]
Big day with my trackside analysis at Louisiana Downs. Got 2 of my 3 best bets home, both John Jacinto/Tony Richey runners (Hannah Girl, Melbas Slew). My suggested trifecta also struck in the Melbas Slew race…hope you had it!
I am learning the oval, meeting the connections, and watching the horses daily from the paddock.
Here are […]
Had a bit of a frustrating day with my trackside analysis at Louisiana Downs on Friday (6-27-08). Five of my 2nd and 3rd choices got the job done, with Parade the Flag my lone top to score. Tough beat for my best bet Sam n Sarah’s Combo. I am learning the oval, meeting the connections, […]
