How To Make A Bet

It was a massive contrarian bet one that few had the guts to make. Yet it was exactly the right call. Energy stocks rallied hundreds of percent over the next six years. This wasn’t the only time this scenario has played out. We saw a similar opportunity during the 2008 financial crisis.
Sunday’s 7th race from Sam Houston is the $200,000 Texas Turf Mile for 3-year-olds traveling one mile on the turf course (Post Time 6:00 p.m. ET).

#1 PALAZZI (6-1) switched to turf, added blinkers, and earned a strong late pace rating in his flat mile straight maiden victory at Fair Grounds Dec. 19. Mark Casse’s $510k purchase seems to have found a home on turf.
#3 Excess Magic (9-2) is 3-for-3 on turf and he was on cruise control in his last pair. I like his tactical speed and his numbers jumped up Jan. 3.
#5 Fighting Force (3-1) followed up a sharp flat mile turf maiden win at Gulfstream Park with a runner-up finish as the favorite in the Dania Beach. Todd Pletcher’s $400k purchase figures to stalk the pace. His stablemate #11 Winfromwithin (7-2) controlled the pace from post 12 and held on by a half-length in his turf route maiden win at Gulfstream Jan. 2, and the top two finishers were 8+ clear of the rest. Pletcher’s $100k purchase is on the upswing.
