Handicapping Harness

Hit The Road March......

And don't look back....OK...Most of the Winter is gone...pretty soon the Spring Swamp will start to dry as we look forward to some good fast track racing...If you are looking for the Computer picks please click on Hit The Road  or you can always see them in the continue reading section below...It seems like the Youbet.net contest is the same as yesterday's $10 Super...with a replenished bankroll of 1K...I am not sure if they are having a daily prize or a weekly one as stated by the contest period ending on April 5...I'm not too worried about it...Just make a fantasy bet and hope it comes in...it's only Tuesday but I have the Saturday TrackMaster Quali # 3 on my mind...I'm going to have to come up with 3 long-balls and take any singles or doubles that happen....(Oops...maybe I'm thinking of Baseball opening day)..Have a nice day Handicapping Harness....Good Luck!

NOTE:   I spoke too soon about the youbet.net contest....now I went to try a bet and I have $0.00 for a bankroll......You never know what's going on at youbet....if they had their message board (which they disbanded about 2 years ago)...well the talk was tough and when youbet messed up you heard it loud and clear....they probably took it down because potential customers got scared looking at the posts!  In regard to that message board dismantling .....I give it 1 BIG THUMB down.....

Made It Till Monday

For the Computer Picks click it on Made It  as it seemed like the weekend was dragging on and on and what the hell...then Michigan State University beat Louisville and made it to the Final Four In Detroit Michigan...almost like a home game for State....Remember that the Prez Obama picked UNC to win it all...Well we will see what kind of Handicapper he is.....If he wins I'll invite him to pick a horse on the blog...Yeah,,it's gonna be a wild weekend...and here I sit not allowed to drink any booze..and if I take too many pills I fall asleep....For now I will try to stay awake when Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!

Late Breaking News:   Youbet.net is back with their contest...It is dated for 5 days...so I am not sure if it is a mistake or how they are going to run them now....we shall find out....($10 Superfecta is today's play wager)

Kinda Slow Day..Eh?

I plan to try and take it easy today...last night I had another upper back spasm which about put me out of action for a couple of hours...Maybe a dose of Bute will help me through the day...(I already have a right ankle brace) click it on  It Hurts for the Computer picks ....you never know...it may have all the winners or zilch....In the TrackMaster Contest last night I barely cracked the $1,000 mark...which is usually not enough for the top 3....we have 3 more chances to qualify for the finals...and you can get in next Saturday's if you have not yet registered....take a look over at http://www.trackmaster.com/contest/ and register for the next one.....Well it looks like some sloppy going at several of the early tracks..not sure about The Meadowlands yet...Have a good one Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!
