Frank took his tickets
to the doctor.

The prognosis is $111.

Gulfstream Park · Churchill Downs · Woodbine

INSIDE: Frank’s Churchill late Pick 3 A/B matrix, six proposed tickets and all 33 races of Race IQ top-three selections.

Fellow degenerates,

We have 33 races across Gulfstream, Churchill Downs and Woodbine for Saturday. Frank has been using our Ticket Doctor to help construct his Churchill late Pick 3.

Finally, a doctor who understands the phrase, “It only hurts when the favorite wins.”

Ciaran offered a second opinion. Frank’s insurance declined it.

We’ll start with a featured race from each track, then show Frank’s actual matrix and tickets. The complete Race IQ top-three orders for every race are at the end of this email.

GULFSTREAM PARK · RACE 9

Simply Joking. Unlike Frank’s invoice.

Race IQ top three
1st: #3 Simply Joking — 8/5
2nd: #5 Indy Bay — 3/1
3rd: #1 Anakarina — 9/2

Seven furlongs on dirt, with a contested pace projected. Simply Joking leads our Race IQ order, with Indy Bay and Anakarina next.

Frank has announced that he’s becoming a more disciplined bettor. We’ve referred that statement to Simply Joking’s connections for possible copyright infringement.

Ciaran has identified the horse he fears most. It’s whichever one he leaves out.

CHURCHILL DOWNS · RACE 10

He Is No Lie. Neither of our presenters can relate.

Race IQ top three
1st: #7 Salahudin — 8/5
2nd: #2 Blessed Flyer — 9/2
3rd: #8 He Is No Lie — 5/1

One mile on dirt. Salahudin leads Race IQ, but Frank’s matrix takes a different approach: he also gives A grades to #6 Antivenom and #4 Admiral’s Order, alongside Salahudin and Blessed Flyer.

He Is No Lie has already been ruled out as a possible name for our show.

Ciaran says his selections undergo a rigorous review process. If they win, he reviews the replay. If they lose, he reviews whether he actually said them out loud.

WOODBINE · RACE 9

Irish Aces. Ciaran has declared himself neutral.

Race IQ top three
1st: #3 Notable Speech — 1/1
2nd: #1 Deterministic — 2/1
3rd: #5 Irish Aces — 15/1

One mile on turf. Notable Speech heads the projection, Deterministic follows, and Irish Aces is the 15/1 morning-line price horse in our top three.

Ciaran insists the name Irish Aces has no influence on his analysis. Neither does the tiny Irish flag he’s put next to it, apparently.

Frank likes Deterministic but refuses to back anything he can’t pronounce confidently at the window. This is why he’s spent years specializing in “the four.”

FRANK’S CORNER · SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12

Churchill $3 Late Pick 3

Races 9–10–11. These are Frank’s A/B grades. His ticket strategy differs from the Race IQ rankings shown later.

Ciaran saw Splendora graded B and requested a parent-teacher conference.

What Frank is trying to do

Race 9: #4 Immersive is his A. #1 Splendora is a B for ticket value, not ability, with #3 Yes It Tiz as another backup.

Race 10: His A group is #6 Antivenom, #7 Salahudin, #2 Blessed Flyer and #4 Admiral’s Order. #1 Caribbean Life is his B.

Race 11: #4 Sweet Reward, #2 Poise and #9 Ready Comete are his As. #3 Shewontbudge is the B.

Frank deliberately leaves out the #1 Splendora / #7 Salahudin / #2 Poise combination. His approach needs at least one of those heavy favorites beaten.

He’s treating this as an experiment with the Ticket Doctor and says to tread lightly. The doctor has recommended sensible backup coverage and absolutely no medical advice from Ciaran.

“Frank asked the Ticket Doctor if his condition was serious. It said, ‘Only if you press Submit.’”
