Free Selection For Wednesday June 25th

We have three strong plays over at Hollywood today and will release one here as our free selection. Go to www.vegasturfandsports.com to take advantage of one of our member packages which are very affordable.

In today's first race, we are going with Helmsgold, number six. He was just edged last time out by one of our winners-Mikey Bones. Helmsgold actually had the lead very late in the race and Mikey Bones came back on him to win. This is a perfect spot for Helmsgold today, and he should prevail and get the day started on a winning note.

We are on a 11-4 run in baseball right now. We have two to three plays every day in baseball over at www.vegasturfandsports. You can try us for 30 days of baseball selections, if you like, for only $99.

Handicapping The Horses-Trip Notes And Track Bias

One of the ways you can get a jump on the competition (the other bettors at the track and simulcast locations), is to keep accurate, detailed records of the things that you see during the running of the races. We call these "Trip Notes" and what they consist of are notations that you can make during or after the race. These notations can be made when you see a horse experience some kind of trouble during the running of the race or at the start. Look for things especially that are not too obvious as the most obvious incidents will be also be noted by your competition, the other astute handicappers in the crowd.

One of the things I like to look for are a bad start, then the horse makes a strong middle move during the race on the backstretch and gets into contention, then falls back late. If this horse comes back within a 14 day period, I give it a strong chance next time out. Also, look for horses in a sprint race that make a fast move of any kind during the middle of the race, especially those races which are the first or second races after a layoff. When they are stretched out next time to a route race and have proven that they can win routing, they deserve a second look. This signifies that the horse is fit and competitive and is ready to win if the trainer is smart enough to place him at the right class level and distance next time out.

Another way to gain an advantage over the crowd is to take note of track bias when it occurs. You can take a look at the charts for each day or watch the replays and take note of any trend toward a certain running style as far as the winners are concerned. If all or most of the winners for that day led or were very close to the pace, the track may have been favoring speed. This is true especially if there were a couple of long shot winners that day that got loose on the lead and were aided by the bias. You can also note where on the track the winners were running; inside or outside. If a horse was making a strong move but came very wide into the stretch against a bias that favored inside early speed, he may be worth an extra look next time out. You can develop a nice "Horses to Watch" list from this method that works well and gives you an advantage when looking at their upcoming races.

You should still apply your other handicapping principles to the races when these horses return, but these two methods will help you uncover some nice winners that the crowd may overlook because they did not do the extra work of taking trip notes and checking for biases.

With yesterday's free selection winning, along with the member's only selections, we are currently on a 7-2 streak in Major League Baseball.

Free Selections June 20th-Two For Two!

Just watched our horse go wire to wire in the second race at Hollywood Park. Pass Me The Sugar won and paid a nice $9.20 to win. Our free baseball selection also covered as the Reds and Yankees stayed under the total tonight. Not bad for a day's work.

Free Selection Monday June 16th

We went 0 for 2 on our free selections here yesterday, but our members were treated to a nice one in the sixth race at Hollywood Park when our top selection, Cuffed, won and paid $24.80. What a nice ride Kerwin John gave that horse for us. Our members also had the over in last night's N.B.A Finals game which easily covered for us.

Tonight, we go with a baseball total. We are taking the under in the Boston-Philadelphia game. Good pitching slated here in this inter-league matchup and we can't see too many runs going up in this one. The total is at 9.

I will also wish good luck to Rocco Mediate today in the U.S. Open Playoff with Tiger Woods. Tiger is like nobody I have ever seen play the game of golf, but it would be nice to see a guy like Rocco win this one..for guys like us.

Friday June 13th Free Selection

Our pick yesterday did not fare too well to say the least. Never picked up his feet. Oh well, onward we go into the night. That's right, Hollywood Park runs in the evenings on Fridays. We have a selection in the fourth race, number two, Brian's Mark. He is listed at 4-1 on the morning line.

Our members did hit last night with our total on the Boston-L.A game. What a comeback by the Celtics!! Fun to watch if you are a Boston fan. The total came close to going over on us, but we hung on to cash another ticket. Visit http://www.vegasturfandsports.com/ to check out our membership options. There is something for every budget, or email me and I will tailor it to be affordable for you to join.

Belmont Stakes And Lakers Vs. Celtics

"That's why they run the race" I've heard that one before. So what may have happened yesterday at Belmont Park as yet another Triple Crown bid comes up short? Was it the heat?
Was Big Brown over anxious when he left the gate? Was it the nagging hoof injury? The connections say no and I believe them.

Okay, so he just didn't have it Saturday. Maybe next year? Guess that is what keeps us going every day. Horseplayers and racing fans are the ultimate eternal optimists. As long as they have tomorrow's racing form on sale somewhere, there is reason to go on and get up tomorrow and try, try again.

Looking at game two tonight in the NBA Finals from a betting perspective is where we go now. Looking at the total on the game which is at 190 or 191, depending on where you look, we like this game to go over the number. Both teams shot below average in game one, the "get to know the opponents defense" game. Tonight's game should be a higher scoring affair and we see the over as the play.

Lakers-Celtics Over 190

Door Wide Open For Big Brown-Saturday June 7th

The news came early this morning that Casino Drive had been scratched from today's Belmont Stakes due to the injury in his hoof. What could possibly prevent Big Brown from becoming the first winner of the Triple Crown in 30 years? Dennis Of Cork may come closing late, but it will probably be too little and way too late. Tale Of Ekati did show in his maiden win back in July of '07 that he may like Belmont, but what about the distance? He lost several lengths in the Derby towards the end of the race. Icabad Crane looks to be a plodder who only passed tired horses in the last stages of The Preakness.

Nothing. That is the answer to the question of whether Big Brown has any obstacles other than himself and maybe a premature move by Kent Desourmeax to push the button and ask him to accelerate away from his rivals. If he is patient, and waits until the quarter pole before asking the question, we will see a Triple Crown won today. Too bad there is nothing even close to an "Alydar" here to at least make it interesting. Horse racing will enjoy the brief spotlight that this should create, but what about long term?

Just another question to be answered.

Baseball Free Pick Wednesday June 4th

We have dropped two in a row which is very rare here at Vegas Turf And Sports. We understand the nature of sports betting though and there are bumps in the road in any endeavor. The difference is in how you respond to those bumps.

So we look ahead to tonight's Reds-Phillies game. The bats have cooled off for both of these clubs and we see another under game tonight. The total is at 9.5. Let's see if we can get back to our winning ways.

Reds-Phillies Under 9.5 -1.05

Monday June 2nd Free Selection

We pulled out the W last night as our selection on the under in the Dodgers-Mets came through. Tonight, we go with the over in the Cincinnati-Philadelphia game. Both of these teams have been lighting up the scoreboard of late and with mediocre pitchers scheduled for tonight, we see an abundance of runs coming across the plate. The total is at 10 over -1.10.

Reds-Phillies Over 10..minus $1.10

Sunday June 1st Free Selection

Tonight's game between the Dodgers and Mets will see two very good pitchers take the mound. The Dodgers will send out Hiroki Kuroda and the Mets counter with Johan Santana. The Dodgers have struggled lately scoring runs and they face a very good pitcher in Santana who has an overall ERA of 3.40 and a record of 6-3 overall this season.

The total is at 8 even right now. We recommend the under in this one. Looking forward to a good pitching duel here.

Dodgers-Mets Under 8 -even

Record: 57-34-3 (62.63%) Plus 22.35 Units
