Handicapping Harness

Meadowlands Practice Selections March 6, 2010

Once again it is a Saturday at The Meadowlands practice card for me...about 7 weeks until the National Harness Handicapping Contest (NHHC)...I may play some of the picks if I get the right odds...for them click on Meadowlands Practice Selections March 6, 2010 ...in other news about 30 drivers, trainers and owners have been under observation by the FBI in Michigan for alleged cheating...Already Arthur McIllmurray and Brad Kramer came up missing from their drives last night...there is nothing concrete yet in print about the who did it...when there is I will post the news...for now (as well as the past few years) I basically ignore my Hometown Tracks here in Michigan)...Have a great day Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!

Meadowlands Practice Selections

In two months I will be at the National Harness Handicapping Championship.(NHHC) at the Meadowlands...Since I usually do not really scrutinize The Big M I will be devoting more time to Handicapping and watching Replays there to see if I can spot any favorable trends...to see tonight's picks click it on Download Meadowlands Practice Selections ...have a great evening Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!

Welcome Back $2DaD2$

 It was darn near a whole month of $2 Dad in the hospital for the nearly fatal Legionairres Disease...Dad is back in his Computer Room printing out programs and bitching about too many favorites winning...I guess that means he is well again....So...I have a few picks in honor of his homecoming yesterday...click it on Welcome Back $2DaD2$ for them...thanks again to all of the well-wishers and the prayers for him.....Have a great Homecoming Handicapping Harness....Welcome Back & Good Luck!

Get Well $2Dad$2

I have not been Handicapping today...My $2Dad had to go to emergency for what we thought was something to do with his fairly new pacemaker...well we found out that it was not something critical..but he has been admitted for observation tonight...I won't be doing much harness wise..except they gave him 2 shots of Lasix directly into an IV...he said "now I'm gonna piss like a race horse"...that's $2Dad for ya.....have a good night Handicapping Harness....(I know $2Dad wishes he was at his computer looking for earplugs)....Have a good day and good luck!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

I am not kidding...the cold was sneaking in through my slab floor and through my fur lined slippers ..my feet were taking a beating...but it was nowhere as bad as Fargo ND....Carl The Closer said a new record of 37 below? and a -57 with windchill....in Livonia Michigan we are warming up to 17 or so.....I scoped out a few races...hopefully the pacers and trotters will be ok in the cold...click on Cold In The Corner for the selections...The Estimator took a few days off and hit Vegas....So either the Al Stanley Sunday will have to wait until next week or maybe he will post them during the week...no promises from my department....keep your back to the cold when Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!

Back To Work Tuesday....

Since Christmas Eve my back has been aching...make that my neck....when I sit up straight or stand straigth...my right shoulder feels like there is an electric current turned on...and it really is more of a nuisance than pain sort of feeling...I automatically adapted to the weird feeling by keeping my head tilted a few inches down...so.........I was at the VA in Ann Arbor for my regular Primary Care Doc yesterday...she sent me to x-ray where I had to stand straight for the picture...trouble was I wiggled each time for some of the shots and it took up to 3 times per pose...once they see the x-rays I will probably start physical therapy...we know there is arthritics in there...but how severe?...(I can tell I am starting to get old...I ramble on about my medical condition to whoever wants to listen)....So yesterday I went straight to bed after I got home for a few hours with the help of some percocet...Got up in time to see the last half of Northfield and Woodbine...today I am starting out with a BANG!...(After getting up at 4:30 to take my littlest brother Hoss to the Airport...$2 Dad rode shotgun...I manged to jump a traffic island to get into the right lanes and on the way home I almost passed up the right turn back to $2's house...He also was hollering "Whoa" quite often) ..The Monticello first pick 3 bomb was mine...another 1099 will be coming in the mail...Track-wise today I have opted to Handicap Dover...Northfield is sort of a last minute affair to see which of the contenders are going off at an overlay price...So....click it on Dover From The Corner where I hope none of the 7 Selections are not going off as Chalk...and have yourself a great evening Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!

Boxing Day...

I'm not sure what Boxing Day is...maybe it has something to do with boxing all the Exactas that you can and hope for a big surprise??......for the real explanation click it on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day  and you may get an understanding of it...I intended to Handicap several tracks..the early locations were listed sloppy...the Northfield and Pompano weather is supposed to be dry and clear...I ran out of steam to do these both in advance..but I managed to get through Pompano...click on Boxing Day for a handful of picks...maybe we can get a jump on those Christmas Costs...that would be very nice...Have a nice evening Handicapping Harness...Good Luck!
