Horse Racing: CompuTrak vs. BG - The Final Score

READ MORE: CompuTrak, CompuTrak Picks, Horse Racing, Saratoga

Who’s the man? BG took the early lead through four races, posting three winners to CompuTrak’s one. It didn’t help, of course, that the software sat on its (figurative) hands and refused to play along for the first half of the program.

From the fifth through the ninth and final race, BG continued to exert his dominance over CompuTrak. They both picked the #8 Blue Forest in the fifth, and she finished a close second to a 9/1 shot coming out of nowhere. The sixth was a wash for both parties, and the seventh was another instance where CompuTrak didn’t feel like scratching out a pick. BG’s #5 Maytown went off as the favorite, and ran a nose behind 10/1 horse Taint So.

But BG finished strong in the eighth, hitting the 4/1 third choice on the board Cloakof Vagueness. CompuTrak? Whiff. When they both finished the ninth without hitting the board the tally stood. BG - 4 / CompuTrak - 1. Man beats machine, as it was always meant to be.
