BREEDERS CUP 2014 LOOKS TO BE THE BEST EVER!
IT'S FINALLY HERE!
(Well in less than~22 hours it will be) So get your wallets, plan your attack and get ready to WIN!!!)
Every year I tell myself I am going to follow the Horse racing season more and follow all the races as the horses progress from the Triple Crown till the Breeders Cup and then on to Horse of the Year.
The sad part is EVERY YEAR I get caught up in "work" or "life" and don't get to follow the season like I want too and then, suddenly it's Breeders Cup time again, and the fateful day is upon us! It's time to dust off my lucky hat, get out paper and pen, my trusty laptop, check Crist's Blog on DRF and get to work!
This monumental wagering event looks incredible with huge fields filled with champions, and tons of betting opportunities, because as we all know: BIG FIELDS=BIG MONEY!
Since historically the Breeders Cup Weekend has turned out to be some of my biggest scores of the year, I'd like you all to cross your fingers, rub the Buddha, grab your lucky horseshoe and pray for a repeat x10!
Since I am still waiting for my tickets which have never arrived… I'll be firmly ensconced for the next 48hours at my NORCAL office surrounded by like-minded AARP members, my Daily Racing Form firmly in hand, with a HUGE STACK CASH, and quite possibly a celebratory glass filled to the brim with bourbon.
Good Luck to all and stay tuned for game day updates…

How To Play a Broken Record/Belmont Stakes 2011
THAT ONE HURT.
Well they all hurt a little it's just a matter of degrees. Does it smart a little, like you cracked your funny bone on the coffee table looking for your keys pain, or is this a "carry the boiling cauldron with your wrists out into the snow pain, ala Kung Fu?" I'm going to put this up there with "unexpected gut punch that knocks the wind of you and have to take a knee pain". It's quite possible I have a black eye, I just haven't been able to crawl to the mirror and face myself yet.
We set a couple records today on our roller coaster parlay ride to absolute dismal failure, and not the kind you want to brag about.
Belmont Stakes 2011 will go down in history for Ray Chi as:
1.) The highest total amount wagered in a single day 2.) The largest single day losses.
And I gotta tell you that I wasn't really looking to break #2....
Oh well I'm having an overwhelming feeling of Deja Vu from last years Belmont Stakes Blow Out, but let's press on.
It's possible the scorching heat this week, followed by the sealed track, and then the torrential down pours that soaked Belmont today had something to do with it, or maybe it just wasn't my day, but the string of out of the clouds long shots killed every ticket I made today.
These are the kind of days that make you question just what the hell your doing. Even the Plan B's got left out on most of the races, no one is going to pick every winner every time, but to have all the reasonable contenders miss the Super repeatedly? WOW.
Should I have just put together a crazy hail mary Trifecta box leaving out the favorites and hoping the slop produced some sort of ridiculous improbable out come, like well what happened? (By the way as idiotic as that sounds the $2 ticket excluding ANY of the probable Superfecta finishers Shackleford, Animal Kingdom, Mucho Macho Man, and Master of Hounds would have cost only $672 and cashed for $8,268.00 a tidy return on your investment and a higher return than most money market managers could hope for) but you can't expect total chaos every time, or can you?
I can't deal with the post-race analysis right now I've got a hangover to start, but suffice it to say that:
A.) I'm not too happy
B.) Ruler On Ice? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
Alright I better knock the dust off and pick myself up off the floor cause now there's a $1.3M Carryover on Wednesday to crush, since I'm a glutton for punishment.
Today's Hourly Rate: (brace yourselves but this is total including Parlay dollars)
-$263.66hr

Belmont Stakes 2011
Good Morning Race Fans,
6:30am isn't when Ray Chi normally wakes up, but today's special....
It's Belmont Stakes Day 2011 and we've got a full day of hard core wagering ahead of us, (as well as my body weight in caffeine and booze-not sure in which order.) We're STILL working on the parlay of parlays and are planning a MASSIVE onslaught on the 1M Pick 6 and 1M Pick 4, (of course peppered in with multiple Superfectas, Tri's and Exactas for good measure!) A couple HUGE prices came in yesterday so theres a double carryover of $144,003 just to make it interesting.
I'm pretty bummed I can't be kicking it with my homeys in our usual crappy booth at my North Office swilling Crown Royal like theres going to be a drought, and cashing tickets together, but I'll have to do this solo via the interweb....just know I'm with you in spirit and please remember I'M IN ON ALL PARLAYS!
Let's Do This Shit. (Masterful Insight and Tickets to Follow...)

Preakness Play by Play 2011 Part 2
Here's my Preakness Day Pick 4
9th) 2,5,6
10th) 1,2,5
11th) 1,4,6
12th) 4,6,8,9,11
Notice the COMPLETE absence of the 5 horse in The Preakness? #5 Shackelford crushed Ray Chi and his Loyal Parlay Partners hopes and dreams of absolute victory today, along with this ticket and other 2 Pick 3 tickets we were live to, oh well back to the drawing board.

PREAKNESS PARLAY 2011
What's up race fans?
Sorry for the long gap in posts but "THE MAN" has his boot firmly on my neck and I've been gasping for air and trying to claw my way out from under it. Who knew moving to a tropical paradise could be so god damn stressful?
Anyway I'm waaayyy behind on posts and I'll be putting up an out of order retrospective in the next few days, (it'll be all Tarantino-esque where the end is first and then you go back to the beginning and everyone dies.) No not like that, but some cool crazy shit happens, so stay tuned.
Let's get down to whats important, and that's money.
The 2nd leg of the Triple Crown the Preakness Stakes is tomorrow and Ray Chi and his homey's are on a POWER HOUSE RE-PARLAY AND ARE GOING TO PRESS IT THE WHOLE WAY!
After our modest Derby win ( please see "a win is a win") I managed to hammer the Post Derby Carryover Day at Churchill and we are flush with cash and ready to parlay our way to fame, fortune, and a bath tub full of Bourbon! Trust me in that this will be the biggest day of action yet.
Even though the math on the re-parlay took 17 emails and enough math to make a M.E.N.S.A member recoil in shock and horror, I think we've ( and by we I mean A-Dog) got it figured out and I'm now ready to build a mountain of tickets with enough R.O.I to make us call Geneva and fuel the jet.
Stay tuned for tomorrows expert selections from Ray Chi, my well diversified betting menu, colorful play by play action, and as always well placed profanity...
But here is Ray Chi's teaser Superfecta prediction, pre-scratches, crazy calculations and last minute Hail -Mary's
Mucho Macho Man, Sway Away, Animal Kingdom, Dialed In/King Congie
That's all I got, good luck.

Ticket Maker App From Daily Racing Form
Just like they say, "There's an App for that." Well guess what they ain't kidding.
I just downloaded the new Ticket Maker App for my Iphone from that goddamn genius and personal hero of mine Steven Crist of The Daily Racing Form, and man I think it's going to make my next day of handicapping a WHOLE lot easier.
So lemme tell you how it works, you know all those chicken scratch scribblings you see me doing, after I've dissected that days races and I'm trying to put together my betting ticket? YEAH THIS DOES IT FOR ME!
I just plug in the possible contenders as "A's, B's, C's or X's", pick the kind of wager I want to make, (of course it does multi-race wagers), MY BUDGET, your betting unit, and it formulates all of your possible ticket combo's for you!
GOD IT RULES! Not only does it save me time, which is vital, but it also makes it easy to save tickets, email them to yourself (or your trusty parlay partners), AND GIVES YOU A CALL OUT SCREEN SO YOU CAN JUST GO TO THE WINDOW AND READ IT OFF TO THE TELLER! I swear to god if this App could put ice and bourbon in a glass and hand it to me I'd probably marry it.
So anyway, it's definitely not as life changing as the first time I saw Lisa Hutchins jog across the soccer field in her pink angora sweater back in 5th grade.....but it's up there.
Check it out race fans:

There is also a version you can use just on your home computer: http://www.drf.com/formulator/ticketmaker.html

Dear Sir, Please Turn Over Your Man Card
I saw a disturbing item on my friend Shag's refrigerator the other day, an invite to a "Couple's Arrival Party." What the???
HERE'S THE DEAL: Just because they're calling it an "Couples Arrival Party" doesn't mean shit, it's still a baby shower and you Sir, shouldn't be there.
Let's go a step further, there is not a single heterosexual man on planet earth that WANTS to go to a baby shower. NO, NO, I don't care what he told you to keep getting laid, (or he may have went and then he used it as a bargaining chip to go to some unnamed guy event later) NO, I'm going tell you something: He didn't want to go, he didn't have fun, AND all his friends made fun of him for going.
A-LOT.
Hey Man, I don't care how your woman/the expectant father spun it to you, "Oh man, there's lots of guys going!", " Dude, we'll totally do our own thing, separate from the girls!" , "Bro! C'mon! We'll have beers, smoke cigars, and play cards downstairs, I talked to (insert expectant mothers name here) and she said it's totally cool!" YEAH RIGHT!
You know that's not gonna happen! The girls are all gonna be in the front room cooing and giggling and rubbing the bump and shit. You'll be with the other eunuchs in the kitchen trying to power through the Michelob Ultra and wondering how long till you can sneak off and watch Shogun beat the piss out of Machida, and it then it happens....
The baby mafia huddle up and start tearing opening gifts, and it's allllll over for you suckas...."Oh Sugar Dumpling, come in here and see this, it's sooo cute!" ,"Hey Snuggles! You havvve to watch (insert expectant mothers name here) open the gift we got her!" ," Oh you guys can watch the gifts AND THEN you guys can play cards! GET IN HERE." Next thing you know your eating a steaming pile of candy crap in a diaper and hoping to god you can decide whether its Baby Ruth or Snickers. Seriously that happens.
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE NOT ALL ACTIVITIES ARE CO-ED. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR GIRL AT HOME FOR THE FOLLOWING:
Monday Night Poker Games, Triple Crown Race Days, and Greenwood Car Show Epic Day Drunks.
-Thanks.
PLEASE FEEL FREE to check the "Sorry can not attend" box on the invite of the next "Couples Arrival Party", "Bumpfest", or whatever the hell they are calling it, get on the phone to the other dudes not going and you could probably get a pretty good game going. Here's what to do, if it says "We are registered at Baby Gap", reach down, grab your balls, and just say NO.
Try it a few times, it just gets easier.
That's all I got,

Under construction!
It's funny, I thought creating this thing would be a whole lot easier! Since I don't know html please stay tuned for the REAL look of this here experiment....
