Superfecta Play From The Wizard

Wizard's Superfecta Daily Play for Saturday, August 9th, 2008

Welcome to The Wizard's Daily Superfecta Play. The main objective to hitting a superfecta is to correctly select the exact order of the first four finishers in a race. Payoffs can vary greatly, however it is very common for the $1.00 Superfecta to return at least three to ten times more than the $1.00 Trifecta. This exciting product is a result of a new 10 cent Superfecta wager, which was instituted at Sam Houston Race Course with great success and then made its debut at the prestigious Keeneland meeting. There are many advantages to the 10 cent Superfecta wager, as it gives the player a better chance to hit a winning ticket. It allows you to add in additional horses in any of the four positions that would be beyond the comfort level of the medium sized better. The 10 cents Superfecta wager is especially potent for the bettor that structures his or her wager with "key" horses on top. In addition, the smaller total cost of the wager is less likely to result in the winning player being required to pay income tax at the time the ticket is cashed. Despite that, this wager can be prone to lengthy losing streaks, since not only your key horse has to run to expectations, but all the pieces must fall into place below that. Please keep that in mind when playing the dime superfecta.

IRS regulations force the requirement that witholding taxes be deducted from winning wagers above a certain size. The fractional nature of the 10 cent Superfecta means that players are less likely to reach that threshold level, making this a tax-friendly wager.

The Twinspires.com wagering site takes the dime superfecta wager online or by phone for SARATOGA, ARLINGTON PARK, DELAWARE PARK, ELLIS PARK, and MONMOUTH PARK.

Arlington Park - August 9th, 2008

Race #6 (3:07 PM ET)

# 6 LUCKY COPY 6/1 - exits an impressive performance last out against 3 and up company, where the daughter of Unbridled's Son was carried out in the stretch yet was still able to draw off as much the best. The Todd Pletcher trainee absolutely loves the turf and owns strong tactical speed, which is a big plus given the moderate pace scenario anticipated this afternoon. Note that her only off-the-board turf start was against stakes-level fillies at Gulfstream Park. Her "best" wins this under new rider Garrett Gomez.

# 10 TIGHT PRECISION 5/1 - attempts the turf for the first time and has every reason to run big. She is out of a South African mare who has produced three other quality turf runners, and trainer Tom Proctor is one of the best in the nation with grass horses. Exits a major key race, the G3 Iowa Oaks, which produced next-out Del Mar stakes winner Storm Mesa. Solid turf rider Julien Leparoux gets the call and he has won 40% of his mounts for this barn.
