Weekly Recap for the Clocker 4/29/12

Last night at Charles Town, Raven Terms got the price but sadly we didn't get the result. Our second choice, #4 Ok Listen Up got the job done and paid a nice $9.60 return.  I will admit he was an underlay at the final odds, so would have passed on him.  If you took him, congratulations!  So we had an interesting week, one winner, Phil Dancer on Tuesday for a good payoff and a third at Calder with Goldsome at 48 to 1.

Monday:  Checkandbalances at Beulah OUT (-$12)
Tuesday:  Phil Dancer winner at Parx, net profit of $73.20
Wednesday:  Lefty's Legacy finished third at Hawthorne, no play.
Thursday: Woodford Belle, second at Keeneland  OUT (-$12)
Friday:  Goldsome third and paid a net profit of  $19.80
Saturday:  Ravens Terms at Charles Town OUT (-$12)

We started the week with a profit of $94.80.  The final tally this week was $93.00 net profit, subtracting the three outs of $36 we end up with a new net profit of $57.  That gives us a total net profit of  $151.00.

Weekly Recap for the Clocker 4/22/2012

We finished off the week with our fourth win in a row with Sleeping Tiger winning at Penn National last night. Not real excited about the odds of 3/1 but with the scratches it would have been a fair price in the end.  So we had a week of two thirds for no return and four winners! Three of them paid a nice net profit, the other did as well but I got greedy and ended up making almost nothing, well sixty cents is really nothing.

Monday:  Raise the Bounty  finished third, no play
Tuesday:  Catch The Bean finished third, net loss $3.00
Wednesday:  Becca's Run, winner and net profit of $19.20
Thursday:  Datatthespa winner, bet on Firehouse Red and he finished fourth, net profit $.60
Friday:  Shakeria winner, net profit $37.20
Saturday:  Sleeping Tiger winner, net profit $40.80

The assumption is a $12 win bet. The exceptions are Dayatthespa where I played $6 to win and a $6 show bet on Firehouse Red, and Catch the Bean where I spread the $12 over win, place and show. Net profit means monies left after taking back our initial wager.  We started the week with a positive bank roll of $80.40 and this week netted $94.80 for a new balance of $175.20.

Weekly Recap for the Clocker 4/15/2012

Well I would have to say last week was rank. Two scratches, and only one real play.  So were do we stand?


Monday:           Scratched
Tuesday:           No play
Wednesday:      No play
Thursday:          Ariana D gave us a show play and paid us $18.60 on a $6 show wager. Profit of $6.60.
Friday:              Scratched


We started the week with a Net Profit of $73.80 and adding our $6.60 brings us to $80.40.  


A couple weekend notes, yesterday at the Charles Town Classic, my dark horse selection, Caixa Eletronica won paying $18.80.  Also, Magical Feeling won the Sugar Maple at Charles Town last night.  What is significant about that is his trainer, Allen Iwinski.  He is one of the most underrated trainers on the east coast. I have him in my virtual stable so when he pops up I give his horses a long look.  

Weekly Recap for the Clocker 3/25/12

Friday at Santa Anita we got our odds but like Thursday we didn't the result. The interesting thing is at the track, I shifted my entire play to the #5 Tones(IRE) ML 4/1.  When looking at the PP's he was a good looking horse, but at 4/1 there was no strong value. However, at race time he moved to 10/1 and that is an overlay. I played him with a stack bet and he came in second returning, $10.40 for place and $5.40 for show a total of $37 on a $12 investment. Sadly, that is not what I wrote, so it is a big zero for the day.

For the week we had a place and a win. We invested a total of $42, returned $65 for a profit of $23.20. The carryover from the week before was a positive $30.40 bringing our grand total so far to, $53.60.  At this pace I can buy a tank a gas! Today, I will be doing the analysis on the Sunland Derby at horseplayersassociation.org.

See you all tomorrow!
