PREMIER CREW,
Yesterday, Ciaran hit the All-Stakes Pick 5 for $465.86.
Frank had three horses that would have paid nearly $1,000—and watched them finish second, third and fourth.
Gold Phoenix then found more traffic than the I-5 on Labor Day weekend.
Everyone handled Travers Day differently:
• Ciaran cashed.
• Frank complained.
• Mark opened another browser tab titled, “How to Fire a Jockey Without Actually Owning the Horse.”
|
But today is a new day—and Del Mar has generously provided three late races where we can make everything back, plus enough money to cover Frank’s upcoming therapy sessions.

AT DEL MAR? Frank and Ciaran will be at the Kona Big Wave Stage in the Plaza de Mexico at 1:00 PM for the Sunday Handicapping Seminar. Come say hello. Frank may still be discussing yesterday’s ride, so bring water and a folding chair.

TODAY’S PREMIER MONEY SPOTS
|
|
RACE 8
THE “EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION” OPENER
Frank’s A’s
5, 2, 7, 8 |
Ciaran
6, 1, 5 |
The agreement horse is #5 PLATINUM GROOVE at 6/1.
Frank also gives a huge chance to #2 CLUBHOUSE DEB at 30/1.
Yes, 30/1. That isn’t a typo. That’s Frank walking into the bomb shelter carrying a lit cigar.
Ciaran likes #1 FIRST LIGHT at 8/1 as his longshot and puts #6 JANZ JOY on top.
|
RACE 9
WHERE CIARAN GROWS A PAIR
Frank’s A’s
5, 7 |
Ciaran
6, 7, 5 |
Frank and Ciaran agree on #5 THE GOAT at 6/1 and #7 PRIVMAN at 3/1.
But Ciaran makes #6 LYELLS SONG at 5/1 his single candidate and builds his strongest late tickets through him.
This is the handicapping equivalent of Ciaran walking into the casino, slamming his keys on the table and announcing, “The minivan is paid off—LET’S GAMBLE.”
|
RACE 10
SIX A’S AND A PRAYER
Frank’s A’s
9, 10, 5 |
Ciaran
2, 1, 6, 9, 4, 10 |
Frank and Ciaran both use #9 CALL ME SIR at 5/1 and #10 HENRY ADAMS at 8/1.
Ciaran also loves two serious prices: #2 TRIBAL at 12/1 and #6 UNPRETENTIOUS at 15/1—a horse he says has a BIG chance.
|
“VERY tough race. Six A’s—and I still may not make it out!”
|
That isn’t handicapping analysis. That’s a hostage note.

MARK’S ENSIGHT
If your horse needs “one more race,” congratulations—you’ve officially become a long-term investor.
|
|
|
GET OUT. GET UP. GET PAID.
Or at least avoid finishing second, third and fourth on the same ticket again.
