Thanks Conley! Been a second only kind of day ..

In the finale, Sinaloa never got rolling. P Money was a surprise for me. Looked like a horse who didn''t like early or late either one. The second place horse, #9, figured.

In the Adirondak, the 10 is bet to favoritism with 2 mtp. I don't like it.

My contenders are 9 4 3 8.

3 has gone to favorite at PT.

Adirondak finish was 4 3 8 2.

Finished the week at 9/53
(+ $5.10 )

Good job, William!

@RanchWest
Thanks Ranch! Just plugging along seeking quality plays. I'm not find of the volatile nature of Saratoga but it offers an interesting challenge.

You really are excellent.

@Dave Schwartz
Thanks Dave, but I think the term "excellent" is overly generous.

Winning is a fragile state.
Anyone who can win consistently - and your picks over time have shown that you do that - is to be respected.

Even being close to breaking even is an indicator of (at least potential) greatness.

I salute you.

This has to be one of the worst showings at Saratoga since I started 2-3 years ago playing this track full time. The funny thing is that I produce picks, yet I never wager too often at Saratoga unless I am at the OTB or my local track. I have an online account but haven't touched it since I opened it besides buying programs from there.

Hopefully, a few more 3-4+ winner days come around to boost that win% up and make us break even at the end of the meet. That is my goal, and I plan on doing just that (hoping it turns out!). Watch out, folks I might go on a heater!

@Conley
Everyone has struggled with the Saratoga meet
Don't get discouraged.

Yes I know. Just weird not having the same success like I do from Oaklawn

Congrats William!! Very good showing. Dave is correct as this is a tough business. I've had some great years and slower times. Winning is difficult and you have an eye for it. Keep up the good work!

@Tony Kofalt
