Somo Bombs: Del Mar and Saratoga Picks for August 9, 2019

Rolling Pick 3’s came through big time at Saratoga with the late Pick 3 paying out over $500 on a $2 base with two of the last three races going to lone must use horses paying $11 and $24.

Today we are backing off of Del Mar again since the card isn’t very deep and there’s a lot of overlap races in the Pick 4s and Pick 5s. I do think the late sequence could pay well so I put a little bit larger ticket together there.

We’ll try to keep it rolling at Saratoga where you’ve got a handful of wide open races. I’m going to roll Pick 3s again since I do think you’re going to get solid payouts and, like yesterday, getting one home could pay for the day.

Good luck!

This is an add-on product

Racing Dudes does an amazing job covering every track every day. That’s simply not possible for me. It was one of the biggest roadblocks to making this possible. I generally only play Gulfstream Park’s Championship Meet, Del Mar, Saratoga, Keeneland, Santa Anita, Churchill downs, and carryover pools. For me to be happy with the product, I was not willing to expand on what I do best. For that reason, this is an add-on to the Racing Dudes Premium Pick products. If you are playing a track I covered that day and want my multi-race plays and advice, it’s now exclusively offered here on Racing Dudes!

My style is extremely volatile

While I have won 21 of the last 26 months playing Pick 3’s, Pick 4’s and Pick 5’s, I have had many losing days. What I try to do day in and day out is focus on specific tracks that I know I can do well at and look for opportunities to cash five figure ($10,000+) tickets. One ticket can make a meet, just look at my $35,000 score at Del Mar last year from $148. I’m stressing this because buying one day does not mean you will win, but it will tap into the mind of someone who has had long term, documented success.

Two tiers – Grid and Grid + Tickets

I bet more than most, normally around $400-600/card depending on how confident I am. For that reason, we’ve created two product tiers. The first is simply my grid where you will get the horses that are must use, use on middle tickets, and use on deeper tickets. That will not include my exact plays and will be at a lower price point. The second option will include the grid as well as my tickets I am planning on playing that day. Both will be available either the night before or morning of the races and will be updated due to scratches. Make sure to play tickets with-in your budget. The idea is to look at monthly results. If I am playing a $5 ticket, you can always play it for $0.50 or $2 to limit exposure.

This is multi-race focused

I’m ALL about the big score so I’m mainly playing Pick 4’s and Pick 5’s. You can use the selections for single races bets and I will call some out in my bets section, but my goal is to hit big-time multi-race scores.
