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!

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!

Just posted today's Doghouse. I am planning on no rain until at least the middle of the card.

Haven't been hitting my spot plays, but continue to find winners. Just not enough.

Early Pick 4 for Friday, August 19

Had a few winners on Wednesday including the Grand Slam for a small profit.

Yesterday, hit a small triple six times but still lost money for the day.

I am betting the Early Pick 4 starting with Race 2 for $0.50:

3/3-4-6/3-4-5-6/1-2-8-9-10 =$30

Good luck!

Wednesday's Doghouse Posted, August 17

Posted Wednesday's Doghouse. Some short fields but really difficult to separate the horses. Many maiden races.

As usual, go to Meet Mr. X and click on the red Doghouse Confidential button.

Still down. Have been finding winners and cashing, but at the end of the day, I'm still a loser. You know my philosophy - go for the big hit!

Good luck!

Sunday's Doghouse - August 14

Just posted today's Doghouse.

Keep an eye on the weather and races taken off the turf.

Hit none of the spot plays, but hitting others including small Pick 4's. Still down.

Good luck!

Mr. X

Thursday's Spot Plays

I like the earlier races because they are dirt and my computer numbers have been very good.

Race 2
$0.50 Pk4: 2,4/1,5/1,2,5/all = $48
DD: 4-5
Ex: 4/2-3; Exbx: 2-4

Race 3
Exbx: 5/1-6
Exbx: 5-1
Maybe Win bet on the 5 if the 4 doesn't win Race 2

Race 4
Ex: 1-2/1-2-5
Exbx: 2-1

Didn't hit the spot plays yesterday but did manage a small exacta and the late Pick 4, so I broke even.

Good luck!

Spot Plays for Wednesday, August 10

If there are no monsoons and the track is not sealed or excessively wet (muddy is okay), then here are three spot plays:

Race 6: Exbx 2-3-5 and another larger Exbx 2-3

Race 8: Ex 3 with 2-6 and larger Exbx 3-6

Had a horrible weekend but hit big on Monday with exactas of $95 and $71. Now even for the meet.

Preakness 2011 Doghouse Posted

I have posted the Doghouse for tomorrow's Preakness in addition to admitting my mistake in overlooking Animal Kingdom.

Animal Kingdom looks like an overlay at anything greater than 5-2. Looks to beat these again, but maybe a surprise for second.

Click the red Doghouse Confidential button at Meet Mr. X.

It's about time that we cash.

Good luck.
