122807 Lesson

Race 2: CHEAP maiden claimer: three of the LONGEST shots on the board won; the key was seeing their trainers' MAIDEN CLAIMING ROI!
Also, look for maidens claimers that are NOT dropping in class (unless ROCK bottom) and also those who are stretching out in distance after showing SOME speed in an earlier race.

Soft turf tip...

After seeing nothing but foreign horses win on the good turf at Arlington Park, remember next time that the Euros have an advantage on softer turf surfaces.

Horses to watch...

One In A Romp had a very tough maiden race last out and was still flying at the end. Will win next out!

Latest Victory

used some creative wagering on the worst possible race: FILLY maiden claimers. There seemed to be just two contenders with any sort of reputable trainers and jockeys.
I put the 5 and 9 over the 5,9,7,6,1 over the 7,6,1 (if the 5 or 9 lost, I figured that they wouldn't finish third and, even if they did, there would be no value)...
