Follow that move!

I've learned from experience to follow the fortunes of a move winner after the win.That practice paid off today with winner A Flying Jet, $52 in Aqueduct's third race.

Two other factors gave me enough encouragement to bet the horse in today's win pool and daily doubles. Despite what NYRA's official handicappers believe, the inner-dirt track is playing to inside speed. The leader at the top of the stretch usually opens up major lengths on the turn for home.

Additionally, the comment line of Jet's move win said he was rated until asked. Maybe there was something in reserve and the Beyer number was cloudy. Also, the second place finisher in that race came back to win. And, the coup de grace--CC Lopez to ride--noted for his front running exploits. Jet lead wire-to-wire.

Enough evidence for me. The double returned $324.50 with the second favorite

A NYRA Bone to pick

Happened across Andy Serling at Aqueduct, Sunday, who was befuddled at the idea of receiving a copy of the Monster Move Method that I left for him or Donovan at customer service. Naturally, no one in customer service knows anything.
I'm sure Andy would have been interested in my selected 55-1 second place finisher in the 9th that day. Where is my book?

Movers connect for pick-three bomb at Big A

I''ve been saying it since the beginning:' It's bound to happen.' Sooner or later two monster moves would connect to provide me with a certified large pick-3 payoff. Well, folks, today was the day at the Big A. Thank you messrs. Parker and Thompson, Jerkens and Samyn.

They are the trainers and jockeys responsible for my windfall. A brilliant ride by WA Thompson in the sixth race on Edashor at 16-1 started the feast. Naturally, I had him across the board and hooked up in the double with the 9-1 Saint Daimon in the seventh for $277. But the main course was yet to come. A $1 pick three wheel--with all--yielded a $1 version of the $829 payout.–with the odds-on favorite winning by a nose. Had the place horse won, payoff was more than $2,000.

Hopefully, this is the first of money, uh, many.

Don't say I didn't tell you: Steve Asmussen continues to make mincemeat of the Fairground training colony, sending out 6 of the 9 winners on today's card. Talk about hot! Partner jock Shaun Bridgemohan is stuffing his pockets as a result.
