Vinnie Ralph's Travers Day $1,000,000 Guaranteed Pick 4

8/28/04

Once again we're pleased to offer you our multi-ticket strategy for Saturday's  Travers Day Pick 4 at Saratoga. Last year's Travers Pick 4 pool exceeded $1,400,000!! We nailed last year's Travers Pick 4 it right here......a $2 payoff of $3,606, returning $1,803 on our recommended $1.00 investment of less than $350.

We'll also be providing you with our multi-ticket Pick 3 strategy on Saratoga races 9-10-11. Our strategy for both the Pick 3 and the Pick 4 is to emphasize our "key" horses by using them on all of our tickets, while allowing for the possibility of one of our longer priced "backup" horses to light up the board. We use our backup horses for each race just once, on separate tickets. The advantages of using a multiple ticket strategy rather than putting all of our horses on a single ticket can be boiled down to one thing....COST. This is especially crucial when the lower paying Pick 3's and Pick 4's come in. Our key / backup approach helps us keep our investment as low as possible while still allowing for a substantial upside if one of our longshots comes in. 

As always, we suggest waiting until late scratches are announced before making your wagers. Just one or two scratches, especially among our "key" horses (those that appear more than once on our tickets) can dramatically reduce the cost of these plays. Here we go...................
