Golden Gate: Friday's Fade the Fave Pick4

Every Friday we are going to try and find a vulnerable heavy fave and suggest a Pick 4 that includes that horse, but also has many more combinations that do not include the "faded" fave. If you want to create a ticket like this at your local track, see which race has the fave with the lowest Morning Line odds, and select five horses in that race, including the fave. then take 2 horses in each of the other legs for 40 bets in total (5 x 2 x 2 x 2).





Golden Gate 16SEP "Fade the Fave" Pick 4 suggestion

The favourite we are fading is #3 in the 5th race, Storm In Blairsden, primarily because we do not like that 1.16 6-furlong workout, seems a bit sluggish.

The TICKET:

Race 5 - 3, 7, 2, 8, 5 (6)*

Race 6 - 7, 10 (6)

Race 7 - 6, 3 (8)

Race 8 - 2, 3 (1)

*Bracketed horses are to be used as replacements for early scratches (late scratches get you the favorite in that leg of the ticket).

5 horses x 2 x 2 x 2 = 40 bets x $1 per = $40 ticket

Good luck everyone, and have an inspiring, relaxing and fun-filled weekend!

3 BIG changes to Outsider Picks System

Last night we went through our picks and results for September so far and have decided on implementing three changes to our system for generating Outsider Picks and suggested exotic wagers, as follows:

A) We are moving Morning Line 7-1 shots to Outsiders from Contenders. This will result not only in more wins for our outsider Picks, but also more opportunities to key the Outsider. Not too many 10-1 or 12-1 shots are worthy of being your key, however adding 7-1 horses should just about double the "key horse" opportunities. Our overall average payout will drop because of this change, however we will hit the board more often and cash more frequently, so from a cash flow standpoint, the change will help us keep money in the till for those home run swings.

B) We are going to include more USA tracks, and have started today by adding Belmont Park into the Free Selections.

C) In recent weeks we have focused primarily on Pick 4 suggestions, with some Pick 3 and superfect suggestions. Going forward, we intend to emphasize Pick 3 and Triactor wagers at least as much as Pick 4 and Superfecta. Again, this will lower average payout but will allow ourselves and our readers to cash more often.




Let us hope these changes help us to finish September strong, and have a rockin', ultra-profitable October!

"Mark In Da Park" Owuya in net for baby Leafs tonight

Swedish Idol rapper Mark In Da Park starts for Maple Leafs rookie team

After a shutout performance in 30 minutes of action on Saturday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs rookie team will give Owuya the reins tonight and plan on letting him start and finish the game. As he is fifth on the depth chart, strong play from Mark will likely result in either the Leafs or the Marlies carrying three goalies to begin the season.

If Jonas Gustavsson does well in pre-season games then it will likely be the Marlies with 3 netminders, whereas if he falters or suffers from any medical issues, then Scrivens or Rynnas will likely stay with the big club, allowing Owuya the opportunity to get some starts in the AHL.




Good luck tonight Mark!
