Pick for Saturday May 27, 2023:

ONE MILE | PURSE: $240,000 | PACE: NEW JERSEY SIRE STAKES - FINAL 3 YEAR OLD COLTS & GELDINGS

Track: Meadowlands Racecourse (Harness racing)

A harness racing?

Yes, you got that right!

Horse racing is a horse racing no matter whether a thoroughbred, a quarter horse, a harness horse, a steeple chase or an Arabian horse racing -- I play them all!

Yes, I'm a horse racing junkie!

Race: 8

Horse: Voukefalas (ML 2-5)

Field (in post position order):

1.Laz (ML 6-1)
2. Undeniablebluechip (ML 15-1)
3. Vici (ML 15-1)
4.Lifes a Puzzle (ML 8-1)
5. Kraken Seelster (ML 30-1)
6. Voukefalas (ML 2-5)
7. Handlelikeaporsche (ML 3-1)
8. Lootable (ML 20-1)


Bet Voukefalas (ML 2-5) to WIN.

A 2/5?

Yes, that is right: a 2/5 to WIN.

BONUS: Also play exacta (straight - no boxing): Voukefalas (ML 2-5) over Laz (ML 6-1) and Undeniablebluechip (ML 15-1).

This might not be as good an exacta as I would've liked but a win is a win (rather than chasing some longshots to put at the top of the ticket over the 2/5 favorite as most horseplayers often do to no avail).

The same thing can be said for the win -- a win is a win!!!.


Update: Saturday May 27, 2023 at 11:00 pm (Central Time Zone)
