    Saturday, August 11, 2007 Contest Picks 1 - 9

    AP 5/ #2 Therecomesatiger (3:1)
    ===> Been playing TP's horses for years, no sense in stopping today. He won't send horses out that are not fit/sound and looks for spots in which there's a good chance at collecting a purse. It's gotten to the point where it's become an automatic bet when I see he's the conditioner - even at tracks where he's a high profile trainer despite sending fewer than most but ranks consistantly in the top five (wins and/or earnings).

    AP 6/ #9 Happy Humor (10:1)
    ===> You're joking right? 10:1 on the m/l for one of the best trainers in the game, ok sure I'll bite.

    AP 7/ #2 Admiralofthefleet (3:1)

    AP 7/ #5 Red Giant (5:2)

    AP 7/ #9 Pleasant Strike (8:1)

    AP 8/ #1 Citronnade (2:1)

    AP 9/ #1 Jambalaya (10:1)
    ===> Does anyone else picture Newman saying this (from the Soup Nazi episode)?

    AP 9/ #5 The Tin Man (3:1)
    ===> Love seeing this old one still getting it done but history is against it happening. Time will tell.

    AP 9/ #7 Stream Cat (20:1)
    ===> Possible long-shot who might get it done.


    Nice to see all the new post icons, well done.

    I think I'm at $78.50. I had a scratch yesterday so I have two picks left. Hope someone
    followed me and picked up a little money.

    Pick 9
    Saratoga Sunday race 5
    #1 Matchless Orinda
    This horse is the favorite @3-1 and will likely be bet down close to even money, but I still
    like the J.R./ Pletcher combo.

    Pick 10
    Del Mar Sunday race 7
    #4 Genuine Miss
    Longest shot of the week @8-1, but the jockey and trainer both put horses in the winner's
    circle on a regular basis.

    Picks 5-10
    8/12/07
    Arlington Park

    R2 / #1 / Superfine Time
    R4 / #4 / Photo Image
    R5 / #5 / Judge Colombo
    R8 / #3 / El Kabong
    R9 / #8 / Cheyenne Spirit
    R10 / #2 / Washington Street

    As for why I picked a horse Im assuming #3 El Kabong. I'm picking him for two reasons. He's dropping in class yet again and improved quite a bit last time. Also picking him for using Theriot as the jockey. Should finish well this trip.
