Elementary... my dear Watson.
MIND BETS... if you don't mind not betting, you can still enjoy the puzzles.
I'll be placing a few mind bets on the old "Trainer w/multiple entries Angle."
MEY R2 (9:00am ET)-
Here's a Dangerous Thought... 4 possibilities.
The angle: PLAY THE TRAINER'S LONGEST ODDS.
Strict adherence leads to Cosmo Kramer @ 14-1. But my MIND says 3rd best RPR(?) has a shot. That would be the good "bad" news @ 11-1.
MEY R3 (9:35am ET)-
3 possibilities - Mcmanaman 6-1, Wrecking Crew 7-1, Eshaasy @ 10-1.
MEY R5 (10:45am ET)-
ONE Watson... Shot with a Shot? Moraawed @ 16-1 good place to start.
MEY R7 (11:55am ET)-
And the final Watson... "Once you eliminate the impossible,
whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
Hakeem @ 25-1
BAD-PICKS: always free... occasionally entertaining.

MEY R2 (9:00am ET)- 6f (Handicap) (Dirt) (3yo+ 0-98)www.racingpost.com/racecards/1231/meydan/2022-01-07/802502Have to go with #2- Taneen (7-2) to turn the tables on #3- Rich and Famous (2-1) in here. Taneen (9yo g) was making his first start since April last time, was only beaten 2 1/2 lengths by the latter, which picks up 10lbs off that effort. High draw might force O'Neill to either send, or tuck in behind, break will tell the tale. EX- 2/3,4,8 Result: 9,7,5 Taneen could only manage sixth after tracking a hot pace.TW |

MEY R3 (9:35am ET)- 7f (Div 1) (Handicap) (Turf) (3yo+ 0-101)www.racingpost.com/racecards/1231/meydan/2022-01-07/802503#4- Yaalail (5-1) has had two good runs in Abu Dhabi, second to the good improver Alfareeq which goes in the featured Zabeel Trophy later on the card. Should set him up well for today at a distance he can handle. EX- 4/6,7,8,10 Result: 1,3,7 Yaalail led to the stretch but faded to fourth.TW |

MEY R7 (11:55am ET)- 1m Zabeel Trophy (Conditions) (Turf) (4yo+ 90-107)www.racingpost.com/racecards/1231/meydan/2022-01-07/802507Taking a beating so far, with longshots dominating the board. Layoff horses abound in this race. The three Godolphin/Applebys seemed to have lost their way last year and went to the sidelines. #3- One Ruler (6-5) was a good 2yo, but never progressed in his 3yo year. I can't like him at that price, with that form and an August layoff. #2- La Barrosa (3-1) won two 7F starts as a 2yo, then was shut down after only three tries last year. Both he and One Ruler have been gelded since, but still hard to back either of these for the win. #4- Path of Thunder (14-1) is actually the one I like best, despite jockey bookings. Overall turf form is very good (9/3-2-2). Was progressive as a 2yo, then had only one start at three, but returned to be a progressive 4yo until he fired a dud at Goodwood in July, after which they stopped on him. EX- 4/1,3,8,12 Result: 4,8,2 Exacta $292.40 (Redboard, as I noticed afterwards that I was posting this as the race was running. Missed seeing the race live too, which would have caused some shouting and expletives.) That was more like it. Path Of Thunder ($26.00) broke like a shot, but switched off quickly and actually settled into third just behind stablemate La Barrosa, tipped out in the stretch and gradually wore down the eventual third place finisher. Moqtarreb (22-1) saved ground at the back and was full of run in the stretch, darting between runners to be a never-nearer second at a nice price, supercharging the exacta.TW |
