BETTING WITH SURELOCK : THE SILICON SLEUTH

SURELOCK lost $120 when Bold Costa, his key horse, ran out of the money in the ninth race. SURELOCK doesn’t like turf races for maidens 3 years old and older much more than he does turf races involving 2-year-olds. But the computer will take a chance on today’s fourth race, betting $40 to win and place on Majestic Moment. (SURELOCK’s wagers will be canceled if the race is not run on turf.)

SURELOCK’s Wed. Bankroll: $1,528

Wednesday’s Loss: $120

Current Bankroll: $1,408

Bob Mieszerski lost $40 when Seaside, the first horse in his win parlay, ran next to last in the seventh race. Bob’s bets today are a $30 exacta box Kimberley-Miss Paster and a $20 box Kimberly-Secret Angel in the eighth.

Bob’s Wed. Bankroll: $1,453.20

Wednesday’s Loss: $40

Current Bankroll: $1,413.20

Both started with $2,000 bankrolls.
