    Van Dyke was in the 'money' five times
    today at Del Mar. Not bad, he is the dude.

    ### - you mentioned him previously, did you back him this time?

    only problem is choosing which of all his races to back him in at the time
    eh (i.e., if riding in 6 races which 5 to pick unless ya backed them all,
    kinda thing...)

    otoh winning 5-horse accumulators is quite rare :)

    he is in 10 races today at Del Mar.
    we'll see what happens. :)

    ### - 10 races jeez, like even assuming he won 5 of them, which 5 outta
    that 10 do ya pick??

    not so easy huh :)

    could assume he might get 4 wins overall (still good) pick 7 of his 'best' races (the one's you think's maybe his best chances of winning based on
    the horses' form) and then back only the 4-folds?

    i.e., there's 35 x 4-fold combinations in 7 selections, so you'd back them
    like this:

    write out all 7 horses names & meetings/race times, then

    35 x 10cent win 4-folds = $3.50

    then wait and see...

    and if ya get 4-up ya gets a tenth of the full accumulated odds! :)

    (happened to me one time that all 4 came to 4,500/1 in a 5-horse
    accumulator, a tenth of the odds paying out a massive �450 for only 10p!
    nice + if that last one had won as well (which came a close second by only
    a short half-head @ 13/2 lol...) it would've paid 1000's! close-call
    really, a real knee-trembler moment hehehe...)

    no, just looking at the results.
    he is in 10 races today at Del Mar.
