Repeating my mantra for the umpteenth time…


I've said it before and will continue doing so.  There is nothing like the feeling of a 25-or-30-1 shot rallying down the stretch to win, when you know that so few others in the game have been able to identify and collect on this predictable performance.  This is the reason for my devotion to the 'Monster Move' system.

I nearly jumped out of my skin at Churchill, today, watching the masterful Brian Hernandez beat odds-on favorite with Street Call at 23-1. Then, lone mover at Monmouth– Griff–repeats the long-shot performance for a $30 payoff.  WOW!  Now that I am learning to add superfecta betting to my menu, it's really a celebration.  



The 'Move' is a monster when it hits.  But, I've said that before.

A lesson 'Implied'


One message I keep trying to drive into my head is that successful wagering only takes one good hit. It's a hard lesson to learn–especially when chasing long-shots. But, it's a goal I strive for. Ultimately, it means less outlay, concentrated betting units;  and collecting large exotics more than once.

Such was the case at Belmont Friday.  Two of the three horses I liked finished first and second.  Implied was the 'move horse.'  Exacta came back $300; had it two and one-half times.  Stopped betting. A good day.

Kelly makes it easy


It's rarely as easy and convincing as Kelly Ridge.  The horse showed pace superiority, the all important running line, a drop in class and competent trainer and jockey.  Kelly paid $15,8 and won easily.
Ah, if  i only had the  patience to wait all day for such perfect moves.  Thank goodness, i was all over this one.

Back with a Bang!


Been neglecting to post since a much deserved and required month long vacation in Heaven. Returned to the game on Sunday to rewards of


and



Movers still in effect. 

This is the first official day back to work on the enigma that is thoroughbred handicapping.  Hoping to improve my game by sticking more closely to a few of basic rules, I have recently ignored. Determined to make second-favorites and second-placers the core of my non-mover wagering.
