Play of the Day

We'll try to keep our good fortune going today by banking on Music Legend to win the second race. A runner-up in each of his two previous starts, Music Legend looks the best against a field of nine maidens that includes several throw outs.

Single Music Legend in the second half of all your daily double plays.

As for our play, we'll bet $26 to win.

We'll also play a $2 trifecta in the seventh race that features On Zee Rebound on top. In a box below, use Ocean Sky, Whosallinthere, Ellies Unreal, and Baby Be True. This wager will cost $24.

Starting balance: $1,500

Saturday's result: We cashed a $50 win ticket on Preciousville for a $25. profit, also we gave a bonus pick telling our fans to bet a straight exacta at Oaklawn Park on Ginger Punch and Zenyatta, and not even turn it around, which was good, because Zenyatta won and Ginger Punch ran third.

Current balance: $1,670.90

Monk's Exotic Play of the Day

We like Sweetpike dropping down in class today in the sixth race. We'll play a $1 trifecta key Sweetpike on top of the Marvin Johnson entry, Saratoga Dancer, Suresmellspretty and Go Fletch Libby, then play $4 exacta box Sweetpike and Suresmellspretty.

Starting balance: $700.

Saturday's Result: We hit a modest trifecta, and a $7 exacta in Fonner's Feature race for a $31.80 profit.

Current Balance: $765.80
