Mundane day for racing at GP today. Could just as easily be at CRC, so I handicapped the day accordingly. Big Stakes day at Fair Grounds, one of my favorite tracks to play, with 3 PH races to pick. Add one from Santa Anita and you have the beginnning of a new contest.
I didn't win, or even come close, to winning The Winter of Our Discontent but did have a positive ROI for the contest.
Time is short and I lost my Fair Grounds analysis, long story, so you'll have to trust me.
Race 6
#8 Honest Man
3-1
9-2
#2 Good and Lucky
4-1
6-1
#1 Secret Getaway
9-2
7-1
#4 Grasshopper
5-1
8-1
Race 7
#7 Demarcation
3-1
9-2
#1 French Beret
7-2
5-1
#2 Jimmy Simms
9-2
7-1
#5 Diamond Tycoon
6-1
9-1
Race 9
#6 Friesen fire
3-1
9-2
#7 Giant Oak
7-2
5-1
#4 It Happened Again
4-1
6-1
#5 Uno Mas
6-1
9-1
And the Strub from Santa Anita where I am going against the favored Cowboy Cal (distance)
#5 Gio Ponti
3-1
9-2
#7 Nownownow
7-2
5-1
#1 Dixie Chatter
4-1
6-1
#9 Wishful Tomcat
6-1
9-1
#5 has demonstrated ability for the distance and the surface #7 I think this race sets up for closers and #7 qualifies on that count #1 Won the G1 Norfolk in '07 coming from off the pace. #9 will want to contend for the lead, but unlike Cowboy Cal, had won twice at the distance.

CEW,
It's great that you do the Public Handicapper and I'm gonna do it weekly thanks to your commitment. I usually handicap the stakes races anyway. Here's where I stand:
FG6:
Honest Man, My Pal Charlie, Grasshopper.
FG7
Jimmy Simms, Demarcation, French Beret
FG9
Giant Oak, Friesan Fire, Mythical Pegasus
SA9
Wesley, Nownownow, Gio Ponti
I must note that WESLEY is not the top choice on my post (NOWNOWNOW is, GIO PONTI 2nd), but I viewed the race as difficult to choose between four stretch runners. I believe he'll be a "separater" as my FG races will be in agreement with many other players.
Good luck.
