$erpa no Surprise

Don't say we didn't tell you. Angel Serpa is the real deal. In a previous post at the beginning of the Big A meet (December 10), I recommended that players pay particular attention to any horse ridden by the phenom . There are few decent tips in this game. But I gave you one of them.

Serpa has been the source of several huge hits for me this meet, including two pick-three singles: Strummer ($!6.6) yesterday and mover Star Over Malibu ($20.20) --one of three winners--today. The apprentice rides like a journeyman. Nuff said!

Knowledge Power ditto

The few players who regularly read this blog need only look to my previous post to understand how I 'confidently' picked the 9-1 winner in today's first "dog" race at Aqueduct. Monster Boots won by open lengths, was a wheel in the upcoming daily double and a single in the first pick three. Why? Trainer Benjamin Perkins…an under rated master conditioner. The horse did not qualify with a monster move. But in a field as bad as this one, it was worth a decent wager.
