BETTING WITH SURELOCK : THE SILICON SLEUTH
SURELOCK’s problem is simple: Most of the horses it bets suffer from equine agoraphobia, the fear of an empty expanse of turf surface between a horse and the wire. Saturday’s case was Greensmith, who was second in the stretch, apparently became frightened, and finished seventh.
The computer’s bet for today is $100 to win on Itsallgreektome in the eighth race.
SURELOCK’s Sat. Bankroll: $1,499
Saturday’s Loss: $100
Current Bankroll: $1,399
Janice Goldinger made a $21 profit when her three-horse exacta box hit in the fifth race, but gave all but $1 back when Silver Cutlass finished third in the sixth race.
Janice’s bets for today are a $10 early daily double, Guard Your Pocket to Flying Paper, and a $5 exacta box of Lordalik-Chess Set-Hollywood Hays in the ninth race.
Janice’s Sat. Bankroll: $1,797.75
Saturday’s Profit: $1
Current Bankroll: $1,798.75
