Saturday night my Best Bet and single won but I only had three out of four, minus $12. My meet results so far, 3 for 39, winners paid $41.65 for 50 cents, $85 for $1, and $103.60 for 50 cents, minus $367.25. Whale tickets, 0 for 2, minus $50.

Standard Ticket: 50-cent play: 69/147/36/2 = $6
Whale Ticket 50-cent play: none

Analysis:

Race 7: (6) Inittowinafortune lost to a sharp mare in last. (9) Truth And Liberty broke at Saratoga in last but won her three prior starts over this track.

Race 8: This is an eight horse field but pretty competitive. I’m using three, 1, 4, 7.

Race 9: (3) Starsaboveallerage picks up David Miller and has a chance to upset. (6) Makers Mass had a pretty good local debut in last, now drops.

Race 10: (2) Its Payday Friday broke on a clear lead in last but will be tough on a flat performance.
