BETTING WITH SURELOCK : THE SILICON SLEUTH

SURELOCK lost $160 when Splendor Forevr ran third in the eighth and Bold Costa second in the ninth. Because today’s only two-turn turf race is for green-as-grass 2-year-olds, the computer will make a rare foray to the dirt and bet $80 to win on Max The Baker in the third race.

SURELOCK’s Wed. Bankroll: $2,128

Wednesday’s Loss: $180

Current Bankroll: $1,948

Bob Mieszerski got the first half of his exacta, Smart Deception, home in the seventh but his other two selections failed to run second, costing him $100. Bob’s wager today is a $9 triple Max The Baker, Hoku and Baraonet in third to Ltd Edition, Jamie Jon and Double Agent in the fourth to Speaking Part in the fifth.

Bob’s Thu. Bankroll: $1,710

Wednesday’s Loss: $100

Current Bankroll: $1,610

Both started with $2,000 bankrolls.
