.
Monday, January 24, 2022.
Occasionally we like to remind you how you can use the Grid to get great long shots to hit, especially when we’re talking about young 2yo and 3yo horses. It so happens we provided the Grid AND some free analysis and long shot specials for Saturday at the Fair Grounds. Results chart posted here.

This isn’t Monday quarterbacking, which is no doubt occurring at unheard of rates in the NFL, this is from a Precap posted way beforehand on Thursday the 20th for the Fairgrounds, which included the free Grid,and here’s what we had to say about the Fairgrounds Saturday card including the Lecomte and some other races.
.
After going over the low priced chalk pair in the Lecomte, which wound up at 3-2 each, we said: “Call Me Midnight is my favorite long shot at 20-1, coming off a subpar G2 in November but before that an impressive maiden breakthrough for Keith Desormeaux. He also has top LP in the Grid, which bodes well in a race with a good amount of early speed in it.”
.
Call Me Midnight won at 28-1 for a great win payout, and despite the chalk pair finishing 2nd and 3rd, some decent exotics also with an easy $182 Exacta payout and $300 for the trifecta. The super was also simple and got $134 for the dime.
.
The race was only worth 10 points for the winner, but it was the first Kentucky Derby points for the Desormeaux trainee and he will no doubt add some points down the Road to the Roses since it was only his first race of the year and Keith likes to race them monthly whenever possible.
.
We called out one long shot each in a half dozen other races to keep an eye on, including race 1, so your day should have got off to a good start in the first race. Here’s what we had to say about those long shots:
“Graceleadsushome 8-1 in race 1.”
This filly won at 7-2
.
In race 6, a maiden special weight on turf, the sparks really began to fly for our LSS picks:
“Co Conspirator, Tiz of Thee, and Hoglayers RIP, all 8-1 in race 6.”
Tiz of Thee and Hoglayers RIP finished 1 and 2, at 9-1 and 15-1, followed by the first 2 public choices.
Exacta $364
Trifecta $1076
Dime super $556
With a decent couple WPS bets, it’s nice to clear $2000 on less than $50 in bets.
.
“Rather Be Lucky 8-1 in race 7.”
As in the first race, this one also got bet down to 4-1 and went 2nd behind the favorite.
.
The other three races where we called out long shots didn’t pan out, but let me know if anyone else is calling out long shots that win or even hit the board in 100% of races because I want to subscribe to that service.
