April 2nd


HANSHIN

12th RACE Nakayama Hinba Stakes

#8 Admire Tembo.. Won here last week clocking 1:46:6 which makes her competitive in this race also. Having not raced since November and at a very low 51 kilo, makes this an intriguing 15-1 shot.

#13 Provinage....One of the probable front runners that has shown some consistent success at Hanshin

The Wager: #8 with 3,6,7,13,17,18 ¥1000 Each-Way Exactas

Robert, yeah 8 with the early speed and low weight looks plausible. The Nikkei-sho seems like a race that you pretty much have to play the big 3 perfectly in just a few tickets to get a decent return. I cant decide who to put where so I 'll skip it. Another longshot I like it #3 reina sopia in the 7th race at Hanshin

Keith, after seeing the odds, how can you not back Okensakura a little more?

PS The Sakura are starting to bloom in Osaka today big time. It just might be her day!! lol

Keith Hagstrom said...

Actually you just reminded me thats why I posted the pic of the cheery blossoms because in the back of my mind I still was thinking about Oken.lol.. if reina sophia comes in the top 3 in the 7th today ill have some extra to sprinkle on her. I think Hiru has a chance to come up big in osaka tomorrow so win or lose its more than likely it all goes back into the coffers anyways in 24 hours

robert said...

Spoken like a true gambling man. I love it! How are you betting the 3 horse in the 7R?

Call me crazy, but I am thinking about dutching 6&7 with the big boys in the 11R. :O

A wheel ticket..all 17 for a 500 each way exacta 17,000( i dont want to miss it when she finally comes in)and 3000 show ticket( top 3) basically to get my wager back.

your crazy!!

robert said...

I hope 16-3 hits the board for you in the 7R! :)

robert said...

#3 is up to 37-1!

robert said...

Good form, but got stuck in the middle of the pack so he didn't have a chance...

Keith Hagstrom said...

looks like 5th..had i played it like last week i definitly would have played #12 gotos horse in a box. Hanshin early races have ripe for big money for sometime now. Cant nail them though

Keith Hagstrom said...

Robert, you have the Green Channel too or can you see the races on the local channels there?

robert said...

I can see them live! :) Hanshin Keibajo is minutes away from one of the universities I work at so it gives me extra incentive to go into work Saturday mornings. :)

robert said...

I now have this 3 is gonna finish in the top 3 in the 11R. I actually think that something completely unpredictable is going to happen in the 11R &12R...

robert said...

*this feeling...

Keith Hagstrom said...

If something happens that's completely unpredictable does happen then wasn't it predictable!lol

Keith Hagstrom said...

My budget for today is up so I have to stay with my 11th wagers, no extra love for sakura. If the weather holds tomorrow in osaka( will it?) Hiro will just romp down that stretch

robert said...

Well in the 12R the "unpredictable" happened... That just might be the biggest payout for a trifecta I've ever seen in my life.

Hopefully, Hiruno can help me win back some of the 3δΈ‡ I lost yesterday. It was my worst day at the track ever! :(

PS It is overcast and a little windy in Osaka today, but I don't think it's going to rain. I'll update you on the weather again around noonish. If you want an update closer to race time, send me a message to my phone.
