These are my plays for today. I've had a case of seconditis lately, so any play over 4-1 will be backed up with a place bet (there are also a few longshots in here which warrant a place bet anyways). Heavier bets are on Bulldogger, Trappe Shot, and Smiling Tiger.
Good luck to everyone today!

    Way to go, Mike!

    I gave out Afleet Express on my site this morning, and i also mentioned that Afleet Again (47/1) could be used underneath for exactas and trifectas. I didn't mention the super, but i'm hoping somebody had it. I can't believe it paid almost $15,000! Congratuations!!!

    DC was definetly the source of My Jen.
    Unfortunately I use place betting mostly as a safeguard (still profited some there, but not like a bandit :cry:) but the exacta really helped.

    I nearly talked myself off Trappe Shot to bet Afleex Express to win but felt I'd be kicking myself in the ass too much if he TS did win, hence my the exacta.

    Lets root home crowded house and smiling tiger now

    The funny thing about this horse was 2 minutes after the Jim Dandy was over I said to myself if this horse Afleet Express runs in the Travers he's my play. I never even looked at the racing form for this race today. Just went 100% by what I saw that day and how the track was running. I played 7-8-All 7-all-8 for the $1 tri and then for the $1 super 7-8-4-all and 7-8-all-4. Thought Fly Down coming out of the same race as Afleet Express and was compromised by the speed bias and Ive always liked Zito in the big races at NY. Had to throw First Dude in there cause this horse is as game as they come. The thing that got me the most from this race is Admiral Alex??? 10-1??? Horse should of been 50-1. Now after looking at the form Afleet Express was putting on some lbs. for this race. Still wouldnt of changed my mind
