@thestaggieman Live view of Staggie this morning scrambling to get things done after being up all night watching The Last Dance (Michael Jordan Bulls documentary) for the 57th time.
Here went nothing.
I donated $108 into @RaceCharlesTown mandatory p6.
Good news - I got my single (chalk) home to start.
My weakest leg is leg 5 (R8). I will probably come back with a saver p4.
Rest now is up to higher spirits & racing gods.
@mspc@turfracingmast1
Brutal
5 of 6!
6/6 paid $2,181
And Leg I missed was Leg I was DEEPEST (5). Winner was usable but can't play everyone on budgeted ticket.
I had good opinions - single R4, $32 winner in R8, toss fave in R8.
But this is why verticals are hard to hit.
You have to be perfect!

I am done. I go 5 deep in Leg 3 (Race 4) and I have the one semi logical who I did not like beat me. Ronney Brown stings a bit. But horse has never won at 4.5F so I passed.
Oh well. On to the next!
If this horse @RaceCharlesTown wins, I simply lose unless I do a saver ticket. Double Negative horse who will take money because of connections.
You need to make a stand somewhere when you are playing verticals. This is the hill I am willing to stand on & die - right or wrong!
@DAVIDLSINGER@RaceCharlesTown It started with a bad ML IMO. Horse should have never been 3/5 on ML to start. Clearly 4 was going to improve. 6 likes the distance. 13 were only two with speed on paper in a paceless race. Recipe for disaster for 5.
@turfracingmast1 WOW! Capping P6 so I am not playing til R4.
#1 rule of bridge jump - IF 3+ horses can win & you do not have a fig or pace edge, never bridge jump.
R1 - 3 was bridge jump worthy
R2 - 5 did not stand out on figs; 146 could beat him; no pace edge; M/L 3/5 was way too short!
@atTheTrack7 It's not a preposterous statement. Within reason of realm.
The hype of Renegade just like hype on MindFrame, Forte & Fierceness based on ownership by loudest mouthpiece and egomaniac self proclaimed Commissioner of racing @repolestable is extreme.
True cappers ignore hype.
Which takes longer?
Lightning delays @AssiniboiaDowns
Or how long it takes @TheNYRA and @GulfstreamPark to make races official after it has run?
Toss up IMO
