Horse racing spotplays for Saturday, January 14

Aqueduct R9) # 10 OFFICERANDAFOOSE – wires this field in 4th career start.

Gulfstream Park R9) # 7 SOARING EMPIRE returns, loves this track. # 9 WILL’S WILDCAT is the speed of the speed. Live longshot ran a huge race in wire to wire at Churchill two back.

Gulfstream Park R10) # 5 MUTUAL TRUST – Euro invader for Mott lays over this weak field. # 4 YUMMY WITH BUTTER live longshot switching back to the turf off prep sprinting at Tampa.

Golden Gate R8) # 1 SENOR RAIN gets blinkers off in Cal Derby start and can rate off a fast pace.

Santa Anita R8) # 7 FIRST STRIKE & # 8 TAPIZAR.  The latter is a threat to wire this field for trainer Steve Asmussen. First Strike is thriving for new barn. Value with these two to upset Baffert’s Prayer For Relief who may be using this stakes race as a prep off the short layoff.

Best of luck!

Handicapping Resolutions for the New Year

If you’re not pleased with the handicapping and wagering results you had in 2011, then check off the following mistakes that you made this past year. Put a star next to the areas you really need to improve on.

 

1-      You know that you are selecting a high percentage of winners, but your wagering strategies have caused you to lose money on days when you should have won based on your handicapping.

2-      Instead of selecting prime wagering opportunities, you are betting nearly every race you handicap or every race on the card.

3-      You are using the same general information to handicap that the majority of the general public utilizes. If the only thing you are using to handicap is the track program, it is not going to be easy to out-handicap the thousands of others who are using the same program.

4-      You are swayed easily by others’ opinions, lacking conviction in your own selections and analysis. What you hear on TVG or HRTV, for example, influences how you will wager on the upcoming race… READ FULL POST

#Spotplay for today’s big #NCAA match of Kentucky / Louisville

The Louisville Cardinals are coming off a tough loss at home against a talented Georgetown team, just the wake up call this team needed going into Rupp Arena to face the UK Wildcats. This team is way too talented with the likes of Peyton Siva, George Dhieng and freshmen Chane Behanan, not to take 13 1/2 points. I have to think the bookmakers are overestimating UK, despite their immense star talent, in this heated rivalry.  Take the Cards and the points.
