BETTING WITH BOB : MAN VS. MICROCHIP

Once again, I had two-thirds of a triple bet, losing $18 Saturday. My bets for today are $30 exactas from Iroquois Park to Saddle Up and P.J.’s Image in the fourth race and $10 exactas from Saddle Up and P.J.’s Image to Iroquois Park.

Bob’s Saturday Bankroll: $1,964

Saturday’s Loss: $18

The computer lost $70 Saturday when Elegant Bargain, the longest shot on the board, ruined its exacta in the sixth race. Elegant Bargain finished second behind the computer’s key horse, River Master, and ahead of its second pick, Stylish Stud. Perhaps feeling down in the dumps, the computer is betting there today: a $10 exacta box on $10,000 claimers Jungle Jaklin, Ki Nobre and Kamikaze in the second race.

Computer’s Saturday Bankroll: $1,689.50
