Tough PK6, but we'll give it a shot with a reasonable ticket. NY Bred races are the toughest to handicap IMO, especially on the lawn.

R4
#7 L'Oiseau d' Argent - Needed one.
#6 Too Risky
#1 Si O No (Chi)

R5
#5 Winsome Ways
#6 Eulogize (GB)
#3 Miss Poison

R6
#9 Justy

R7
#4 Michele the Great

R8
#4 Makderah (Ire)
#5 Lady Renaissance

R9
#9 Astoria Sweetheart
#1 Go Gaitor Go (W/entry)
#10 Clearly a Thrill

The Play $2 PK6 - 1 6 7 with 3 5 6 with 9 with 4 with 4 5 with 1 9 10 = $108

Good Racing Luck

Alright, getting sucked in
 

4: 1,5,6,8
5: 8
6: 9
7: 1,7,9
8: 4
9: 9,10

Not too confident but the above is worth the $48 it will cost me. I like the 4 Makderah alot in the 8th race. Best TG number off a very wide race. Seemed fresh in comeback race and was beat by a horse that campaigned the whole winter, should be ready 2nd off the shelf and will most likely get nothing near the 7/2 ML.

Edit: Decided against playing the above, but playable given the amount. I am playing the 4 Makderah to win and place though

Attempting a somewhat larger ticket than I'm accustomed to. Split it with my brother, (who split his half with his friend because he's too wuss to play himself. Not to mention I almost had to strangle him to get him to like a few horses.) With the recent success of this boards pick 6 attempts, it made the pill alot easier to force feed him. Put dollar signs in his head and he's hooked..

Good Luck to those playing today!!! Let's bring one home again...

4- 1,4,6,7 (Si O No, Ricardo A, Too Risky, and L'oiseau D' argent)
5- 4,5,6 ( Street Party, Winsome Ways, and Eulogize)
6- 9 ( Justy)
7- 1,4,7 (Whateverwillbwillb+Classic Expression, Michele the Great,Fid Pleasr)
8- 4,7 ( Makderah, and Cologne)
9- 6,9 ( Katnik, and Astoria Sweetheart)


4x3x1x3x2x2 = $144 x $2 = 288$ without scratches.

I cringe when thinking of singling Justy. If I can find one or two more partners in this,( probably not on such short notice) I would add Baletti. This race scares the hell out of me. Good thing I already have that wad of ones set aside for my elder brother Matt's bachelor party @ Daydreams..AHHHHHH Back that a$$ up..

Once again, great racing luck to those playing throughout the country!!

Here's my take on it.

4) #5 Unigold

5) #6 Eulogize (My Best Bet of the Day)

6) #2 Peace Mon
#4 Mighty Thor

7) #1 Entry
#9 Classic Marilyn

8) #4 Makderah

9) 1 Entry
#2 Flame on

Insightful! Thanks Steve.

Interested in Andy's & Seth's perspective on the 6th, Particularly Andy's take on the two rail horses "atypical" first start as well as Seth seeing the angle on the 3 which I used to put the horse on top.

Great Work as always

I really wanted a reason to throw out the #5 horse in the 8th race, but the fact that Flow Chart returned to win on the turf at Churchill with an 88 beyer made me inclined to keep her in and spend the extra. I still might toss her, but as of right now, I feel as if I should keep her in.

Its calling for thundershowers up here in Lake George today, anyone have a weather report for Elmont? Never mind, http://www.weather.com/weather/hourb...nav_undeclared

Good luck!
