Courageous Lady

Hoepfully, we can do a bit better with our picks For the Courageous Lady than we did with Night of Champs, although the Pick 5 was pretty easy. I did not play a nickel on the card - I didn;t see any kind of value plays that would have made the investment worthwhile. And that is part of my problem, I am a fan first and a handicapper second, which makes me a gambler third. Having said that, even if I was not going to be here tomorrow for the CL, I would be wagering, and it would not be on ML fave Artimittateslife.

She is good, make no mistake, and she needs to be used heavily in the exotics, but Slaley will win the Lady and may pay $8.00 doing it if the East Coast cash jumps on the fave like I hear it might.

Slaley has been just about unbeatable since being purchased by Ian Fromowitz and Gerrie Tucker and she should get an easy lead from pst three. A minor concern is that she just raced Tuesday, bu Fromowitz tells me she came out of the race feeling great. Brett Miller did not really choose off-- Fromowitz hoped to get Ontario stra Brad Forward, but he was unavailable, so they listed Brett since Virgil is training the filly locally. Tony Hall is no slouch and this filly does not look like there are a lot fo decisions to be made-- point her in the right direction and roll. With Artimittateslife (still can't get used to that spelling) in the second tier, game over.

$50 win Slaley
$20 x Box Slaley to Artimittateslife
$2 Tri 39/39/all
$2 Tri 3/9/124
$1 Tri 3/124/9

.10 super 39/139/all/12349

Good luck!

Okay, so I am cheating by using the comment box instead of the edit box. I did not update after the Courageous Lady since the Lady Tigers were involkved in state tournamnet play and after a heartbreaking overtime loss, I am now back 100% focused on the Route Eight Oval and the blog.

Our Courageous Lady picks did not quite work out, but what a race. I cashed for a $21.60 tri, a $5 exacta ten times ($50) and I hit the .10 super for $4.98. Cashed for $76 after wagering about $100. Not bad considering my top pick got beat, but, oh what could have been with Slaley at 2-1.
