'Political' correct winner $35; 'mover' exacta $300

What to do when  there is more than one 'monster move' in a race? Compare, trainer/jockey success, distance, early speed. In this case, two of the three moves had run 1:10 in the last race. With giant odds bet both across the board. 

Political Justice was 0-10 at the distance and the track.  Today, the horse lead wire-to-wire at 17-1.  The other mover ran second for a 'monstrous' exacta.  Look at the prices.

Easy game–sometimes

Listening to track TV handicappers analyze the final race at Gulfstream, I could only smile.  My amusement had little to do with their real or imagined selection skills. On a day when the sloppy track repeatedly  rewarded early speed, the 'experts' examined the decimated field for some horse to fit the bill. No mention was made of the 'move-obvious' eventual wire-to-wire winner. Sawyer was a 4-1 gift for the few of us who could read beyond the horrible looking running line.

I climbed all over this opportunity!

The pros had the right idea, We had the right tools. It's an easy game.

Back with a 'Victory'

After a month-long sabbatical, I have returned to action.  And my commitment to the move paid off immediately.   At Parx,, in the second race, familiar move trainer Ramon Preciado sent out five-year-old Victory Tale off of two moves a month apart.  Jockey Bermudez was up (not my favorite).  There were two other movers in the race.  But the decision was easy.  

According to my records, Preciado can be counted on to SEND his move horses off of a drop.  And, although other factors carried no weight, the 16-1 odds were inviting. Result? Victory was the only horse to challenge the favorite and held for second.  Look at the place and show prices.
