Hunch bets, Tiger Style


For those of you looking for a little, ahem, action, you might try these hunch bets today at Aqueduct:

In race 1, you’d have lost had you bet the Believe in Love/Virtues Under Fire exacta. Clearly, betting on Believe in Love is a losing proposition.

But there are plenty of other opportunities to, um, score…

Race 2: Smokey Eyes

Race 3: Magic Tiger/Strategic Move/Come From Behind

Race 4: Siren’s Call

Race 5: Check out this coupled entry: Discreet Fling/Embrace Change. (Discreet Fling is scratched…just like Tiger was!)

Race 7: Bold Union over Yes, She’s a Lady

Race 9: In the Spotlight

Good luck, everyone!
