Preakness 2012 Posted

An interesting and good betting race.

I have a major question mark, but I can't ignore my best number horse in the Derby, 8 Daddy Knows Best.

Good luck. It is time we collected.

Kentucky Derby 2012 Posted

Here we go again. We don't know the weather with any certainty at all, but that doesn't stop me from doing my analyses. If it rains really hard, forget about my picks.

10 Daddy Knows Best looks to be in the right spot with a clean trip from the outside, running down the speed late. He has been working great at Churchill.

See my analyses at Meet Mr. X. Just click on the Doghouse Confidential red button. I have also included two charts from my appearance on OTB-TV "Trackfacts."

Good luck. Let's cash again.

Hit Sunday's Early Pick 4, No Post on Monday

Hit the early Pick 4 for half of $686 along with both quinellas, an exacta, and two triples before the monsoon that cancelled the last race.

No post on Monday. Just too tired and track will be a mess, presuming everything is off the turf.

Good luck!

Sunday, September 4 Doghouse Posted

Just posted today's Doghouse. Have both the early and late Pick 4's selected.

Go to Meet Mr. X and click on the red Doghouse Confidential button.

Still down for the meet, but I haven't figured out how much. But having fun.

Handicapped for fast and firm today. Hope the rain holds off for tomorrow, but it doesn't look good.

Good luck!
