Just want to get by this first race. A lot to like here. Could easily hit the all button...

This leg was the reason I didn't play it - wanted to use 5 or 6 - decided on 4 and of course picked the 12-1 winner "for fun" :mad: :D

Was looking for that 8 in my enemic pick6, Oh well...

Steve had early pick4 2X2X2X2.

Maybe you should have....$26 winner.....

Here's to hoping for 5 of 6. The track at Saratoga is constantly favoring closers who run down the middle of the track. The rail still sucks.

The only reason I shied away was the gaudy 5% first out winners for Kimmel. Went with the McLaughlin instead....dam won at first asking and won a Graded Stake...

Late pick4

R7 - 2,5,9,10
R8 - 4,6,9,10
R9 - 6
R10 - 3,4,5,7

pick 4

5/9/7

2/4/11

3/6/8

4/5/8.... i will hit this...i hope

the 4/5 are way too long here must play 5/4/9/2 tri ext wp5

I saw that - thought Raw Silk really had a shot but too much talent in this field to get by the post position apparently...Successful Appeals are 21% first time winners though, and I watched the replays of the 7 and 9's last "troubled" trips - really didn't see anything that looks like trouble cost them the race, so I was ready to toss both of 'em...Thought the 5 was a wise guy play being bought down the way she was so I had to include though I didn't see anything there either - still could have made a strong case for every other one except the 3 though...It was one of those races where I could have gone 5 horses deep and still would have left out Banner Day - AP indy filly from a Forty Niner mare :o

agreed ..i was more apt to use the mott ..and the 8,,before the 2

He's been kinda hard to ignore this meet :D

Quiet Alice #5

Bigs - the TVG dork just mushed the 1 - singled it in his P4

I will take the #10, but Quiet Alice would have been noce to kick things off...

Couldn't find a way out...shoulda stayed at the rail...TVG dork didn't help....

R8
 

Altered State #3

Nice call Scav - thought he might rally, unfortunately Team Mott-Desormeaux continue there dominance of the SPA
