We are 66 races into the Survival At The Shore handicapping tournament at Monmouth Park. Right now my standing is irrelevant for I'm so buried all I can shoot for is finishing it. It is a unique tournament where not only do you have to build a bankroll and fight to the top, for that one seat in Vegas, but you have to hit the board each (three races) day or you're eliminated. Funny how it messes with your handicapping strategies, it almost forces you to chose horses at short prices so you stay in. Hat's off to the top horse player's that didn't succumb to the chalk temptation!
Overall, my results are not bad. While I'm getting hammered on the leaderboard, the results of my handicapping are good. Like I said, 66 races in and 16 winners for a 24% win percent. 58% of my picks are in the money (Win-Place-Show). On flat bets, "to win" looks like this: $136 invested and returns are at $194.60 for a profit of $58.60.
For tomorrow, three tough races, and here are my picks:
4th 1 1/16 Turf Claiming $30,000n3L Supah Jalene
10th 1 1/16 Turf Claiming $20,000n2x (F/M) Smarti Bobbi
12th 1 70 MC $10,000 Shesasuperfreak
Good luck to every one! Will tweet results tomorrow at @theclocker1
