BAUER'S BETS: IMPORTANT UPDATE

Our choice in Race 4 (9) BLACK PRONG was scratched at 9:48 AM as was (7) UPPER CROWN. 

THE REVISED BET: $10 to win on (8) GAME LAD. Last season's champion trainer Gerald Bennett gives a leg up to top jock Antonio Gallardo. This five-year-old likes the Tampa lawn and was claimed by Bennett out his last race and would be no surprise here. Also play a $2 exacta box with (1) COMPLETELY BONKERS and (2) OUSBY. 1,2,8. TOTAL BET: $22  GOOD LUCK!

BAUER'S BETS: Fast & Firm at Tampa


Tampa Bay Downs ten race card kicks off at 12:40 PM. Partly sunny in the low 70's is the forecast.

Today's bet of the day is in Race 4, Post time is scheduled for 2:09 PM. A field of ten $16,000 Claimers will travel eight and one half furlongs on the grass. A case could be made for several contenders.

 (9) BLACK PRONG has a few things going for him today. He has won on the Tampa Turf before and he ships back here after an impressive win on the Gulfstream West sod under Sammy Camacho, back on October 27th. The four-year-old earned a huge speed figure for that effort and Camacho returns today. A repeat of their last race can put them back in the winners circle this afternoon.

THE BET: $10 to win on (9) BLACK PRONG and a $2 exacta box with (8) GAME LAD and (2) OUSBY 2,8,9. Total Bet: $22

PREVIOUS RESULTS-So far, so good. Have had two winners in as many days. Total bets were $44, we got back $75.80, a profit of $31.80
GOOD LUCK TODAY!!

Handicapper Bauer off to Winning Start

HorseracingFLA handicapper Bob Bauer is off to a winning start in our "race of the day" feature at Tampa Bay Downs.

Through two race days, he has recommended $44 in bets--which produced a total  payoff of $75.80.  That is an  81.4 percent return on investment.

On Saturday Nov. 24 in the ninth race, Bauer suggested a $10 win bet on Rosebud's Hope.  That horse won at 4-1 odds, and returned $51.00 on Bauer's bet.  He also recommended an exacta box, investing $12, that  did not pan out.

On Wednesday, Bauer suggested a $10 win bet on Russian Roulette in the third race. As the 3-5 favorite, she won and paid  $19.00 on the $10  bet.  

Bauer, HorseracingFLA's Tampa Bay editor also had Russian Roulette in a three-horse $2 exacta box. It came through  with two low-odds horses and paid $5.80.

Bauer will post his race of the day on each racing morning at Tampa Bay Downs.

Bauer's Bets: Fast & Firm at Tampa

Should be a good racing day in Oldsmar with clear and cool weather. First post is 12:25 PM for the nine race card.

My Best Bet is in Race 3, a 6 Furlong, $16,000 Maiden Claimer. (3) RUSSIAN ROULETTE should graduate today if she runs back to her debut at Gulfstream, where she lost by only a nose. Red-hot Sammy Camacho rode her that day and returns today. Camacho won a pair of races on opening day, last Saturday.

THE BET: Play RUSSIAN ROULETTE (3) to win and an exacta box with VALLEY GIRL (2) and PHYLLIS DRILLER (6). 2,3,6.
GOOD LUCK!!
