Yesterday, I decided to try a couple of "Place" wagers on two horses I really liked. The first was at Aqueduct's (Belmont) 6th race. I am a big fan of trainer Horacio De Paz. So I always watch where/when he enters his horses. Yesterday, I bet $60 to place on the #10 (Can't Fool Me) who won and payed $5.30 to place (profit $99.00). Then I bet $60 again on the 2nd race at Pocono Downs on #7 Onlythetuffsurviv e driven by Georgie Nap. He won and paid $4.20 to place. (Profit $66.00) Both horses won and paid sweet win prices. Again, I ask you, AM I A SCHMUCK OR WHAT??
I have never bet a horse just to place...that being said, I will generally go across the board if the odds are high enough (2-1 or more) and the field a good size (6 or more). Ha
