Turns out this is the perfect day to return to posting information about my horse playing experiences.
I started the wagering day in a funk. First of all, my Monster Move method is inconsistent at NYRA tracks. Then, it is particularly unreliable with two-year-old races--of which there were nine (Yep, a full card). With little hope, and lots of caution, I decided to examine the races, anyway.
In early races, I spotted two moves at monstrous odds who were worth $2 across the board bets, if only to fight the boredom. They ran up the track. Finally, in the seventh race I saw my 'rescue' horse. It was an automatic bet--because of trainer Mike Hushion. I have extolled the virtues of this marvelous trainer on my handicapping blog (9.25/10). He is the only trainer I bet blind; that's right without question. The prices are always generous and win or lose the horses always compete. Additionally, Horsin' Around showed some semblance of 'the move.
Seeking a score, I back-wheeled the horse in doubles. Then, singled with the odds-on Todd Fletcher horse in the first part of the pick-3. The third-leg, I reached for the all button. Total wager: $30. Hit $45 dd and like magic, a pick-3 payoff of $332.
And that's not even the good part.
Admittedly, only an advanced move player could have even bet one dime on Lightning Stone in the final race. But, after all, that is what I am. The horse won by a block. Out of respect for the system my across the board bet was $5. Return? $190. Satisfying and profitable day. The move is a monster!!
(It occurred to me later that I actually selected the $7000 pick-four. I am not a multi-bet player. No spilt milk.)
