The 2023 George Morton Levy (aka Borgata) Open FFA Pacing Series

[Senator Blutarsky]

If it wasn't LT, methinks it would have been YR's many time leading driver, Jason Bartlett; the latter drives much of Shane Tritton's stock.  I thought for sure that Tritton would name Jason for the final for obvious reasons. 

BARTLETT, JASON (leading driver last 12 months at YR) - UDR .412 - WIN% 26

Logical, that works too for this one!

Ridiculous morning line for Hellabalou, Funatthebeach and Lochinvar. Hellabalou has zero chance to hit the board and should be at minimum 20-1. Funatthebeach has been awesome every leg and 20-1 needs someone's head examined when then seeing that Lochinvar is at 8-1 and also has zero chance in this race.

The problem for Funatthebeach is how much early action will there be. Gingras is gunning and I think Brennan also gets around Buter's horse early. They line up 2,3,1 early with Buter in no rush knowing both Leonidas and Hellabalou are not moving early. Cannot see any of the 4 through 8 trying to push the gate away and may lead to everyone with an early seat and then waiting for Buter to pull and picking up his cover.

Pretty good analysis.  It's just as likely and maybe even more so that Covered Bridge and This Is The Plan will do each other in down the backstretch which will set it up for a closer than they will line up 1 2 all the way.  We shall see.

Since the 2 is not going to leave, it lines up 41, 1 retakes, 2 will sweep to the front before giving the 3 a chance to have cover, the 8 will move into place scond backstretch and be some combination of 128 at the wire.  Likely 12/12/8, 4 for 4th. With 2 even money horses in the race the 1 and the 2, you should resign yourself  to cold tris and sups. Sub 150 mile Playa!

Is it time to do this already, track looks fast and weather in the 50's?!   

Yonkers 9th (Borgata Final)-

Only tris and supers...

Cold combos, larger dollar bets:

tri 12/12/8, sups 12/12/8/34

Smaller dollar Pussy ass savers:

tri 128x, sup 128/128/128/All

My 2 slice and a coke money for Wizard and Thorny's thoughtful contributions:

.10 sup box's 1238, 1248

Final time prediction:  148 3/5 to 149 2/5 (new track record)

  No FUNATTHEBEACH N in that mix?  Wow, okay.  BTW, I am not arguing with your selections, I just see this a wide open race, and case can be made for at least 6 of them to win.  I won't punch much, but I'll be looking for value.

I just boxed 1268 for a dime, anudda saver, thanks OP, GlenMidby, this is an awesome thread!

I'm locked and loaded heavy in my aforementioned direction!

This is how I'm feeling about this race now:

Thorn, did you just hear the live BigY / GB interview on his 3 drive (Idealsomemagic A) in the 9th your monster.  GB sounded nervous, like he was about to go 1on1 against MJ in hoops, but was clean shaven, another baaaaaad sign, here he is winning a hambo, looking like he crawled out of a garbage can!

I'm going with the Stratton boys 1-2.

Biggest race of the year at YR, and what do the Harness Racing fans get?  Another Burke tag team.  If TITP doesn't get in the race, Hellabalou is 96-1 and doesn't get a check.  Covered Bridge did all of the dirty work, towing Idealsomemagic A into a winning position.  If the latter simply paces a 27.3 final Q from 2nd over, he likely wins with a 3rd over Leonidas 2nd.  Funatthebeach N had NO excuse from a one time 3rd over following Idealsomemagic.  Detention barn? 

[Anakin]

Anyone else could have left, but didn't!  Gotta give Burke duo credit, they were the only ones that took a shot leaving. What was Kakaley doing getting away last?
