You 'gotta believe


Ever go to a doctor for an annoying ailment that immediately disappears when you are admitted into the examining room?

In the process of reworking my website to promote the second edition of the Monster Move Method, my recent wagering adventures had been completely without success. 

Why now? Had I less documented evidence of the system's value, I would have begun to doubt the offering .  No chance of that. Maybe, I wasn't  doing the work, or paying enough attention.  I poured over results and running lines--slim pickings. The few movers I identified never lifted a hoof.

But faith is a wonderful thing.  The slump came to an end, today, at Churchill Downs, when a 92-1 selection ran second for a $56 place, $18 show payoff.  

And, then there was Discreet Lady in the 9th at Aqueduct. Granted, NYRA tracks are difficult to score with the move.  But as I read the horse's running lines, the evidence became overwhelming.  'Lady'  is trained by the distinguished John Kimmel  who sports a 25% win rate; was dropping to an all-time low in class; had disputed a remarkably fast pace in her most recent race--and qualified with 'move.'   Seemed like 'a wheel' to me.

I hit the 'all' button with Discreet Lady in  the final daily double.  Then, I played an additional  double with the eventual winner of the eighth  race.  And, naturally, a small across-the-board wager. Headed in late stretch, after a race-long pitched duel, Discreet Lady buckled down to win by a lip, paying $48 and completing a--twice as nice--$349 double. (Note the place and show prices).

Excellent ride, Mr. Garcia!
