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)

The result is in and here it is (win/place/show/exacta only):
1. Voukefala (final odd 1-9): $2.20 $2.10 $2.10
