Big daily-double alert! <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Not one of these $5 jobbies, that&rsquo;s for certain. Scrub on over to the Belmont Park for today, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2017. Go ahead and turn your attention to Races 7 &#038; 8.<\/p>\n<p>How did the Race 7 look to yourself? A lot of mopes were strong on the morning-line fave named Phi Beta Express; to them, he was the key (get it?) to the mutuels here. Indeed, even the conventional All-In-One V6 Betting Line was strong for the Phi Beta Express train: atop the standard Betting Line, based on the last-race paceline selection, Fair Odds of 2-1. What to do? <\/p>\n<p>&rsquo;Phi Beta was your even-money fave. But as we have been researching and tracking, we want that so-called picket-fence to prop up any favorites we respect. (The &lsquo;picket fence&rsquo; concept comes from a talk the outstanding Dr. Jm. Cramer, Red Leader of the HDW, gave some years ago. The &lsquo;1s&rsquo; in his preferred output referred to the top-ranked horse in a given category, and these &lsquo;1s&rsquo; resembled the pickets in a picket fence; he liked those horses whose output rankings looked like a picket fence.) <\/p>\n<p>Back to &rsquo;Phi Beta, then. He had a picket for his top ranking on the Betting Line &mdash; and no further pickets. Not much of a fence there. <\/p>\n<p>Now, no pickets anywhere for Skyler&rsquo;s Scramjet, but he was a just-barely-there 81 on the LifeLiner Spread Column analysis. And he did figure up-close for at least the opening two furlongs. The toteboard blinked at 30-1. He won by 1 at $63-even.<\/p>\n<p>Race 8 had a truly bad fave going, Newport Breeze, who was no better than sixth in any of the &lsquo;Big 3&rsquo; categories (Betting Line, LifeLiner Speed, LifeLiner Spread). On the other hoof, Held Accountable was atop the Betting Line and a second-best 85 on the LifeLiner Speed Column analysis. She won by 2&frac14; at $21.40. The $2 daily double paid $604, probably not enough when you combine 30-1 and 9-1. Somebody, stop hammering these doubles! Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>Later, the nightcap at Woodbine looks wide-open. We have three 8-1 or higher horseys on the morning line to consider. Maybe they&rsquo;ll sync-up with yours. Maybe we&rsquo;ll tell you about, lose or win or draw. Happy hunting! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Big daily-double alert!
