Makes good sense. I dont think there is any horse than can go with Idiot Proof.

Hey is there anyone that likes Kooky Kelly in the 4th? I mean she was caught 4 wide last time in the Skipper Mike race. I think with the improved post position here she'll win.

This is the ticket
 

If I were playing I’d go with a bigger ticket like this, I just don't see obvious places to single with strong conviction. Maybe Idiot Proof and cut the ticket in half. but I just don't trust a horse that looks to have trouble carrying his speed at SA, coming to cushion.

Race 3
3 Our Partner
6 Casual Thunder
7 Rival Islands

Race 4 – going wide enough to snag the winner-anybodies guess here how they run
2- Kooky Kelly
3- Steel Kitten
4- King City Kitty
5- Skipper Mike
6- Warrens Devonlane
7- Stitchit

Race 5 – I am not taken by Unusual Suspect like many are- has class from last year but don’t see any development, still running the same type of race, no turf experience, think this one is overbet and won’t win. Like fresher developing horses with more upside.
5- Yankee Bay
7- Grey Rover
8- Bernasconi

Race 6
4- Dennybuck
1A- Headcoach
10- Weft

Race 7 – I can’t single Idiot Proof because although fast does appear to have distance limitations and with no cushion race exp he may get caught.
4 – Idiot Proof
6 – Shem

Race 8 – Think the winner is one of two horses
3 – Star Quality
5 - O Bee Naki

Play 3 x 6 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 2 x $2 = $1,296

Yes Victor is serving 12 days.

Nakatani can't buy a winner now that he has Stevens for an agent.

Joe Talamo isn't all that great like people are talking. SoCal racing is just starving for a good Bug Boy and getting some decent horses to ride.

Here's my ticket....

Race 3 7,6
Race 4 2,5
Race 5 1,4,5
Race 6 1,8,10
Race 7 6
Race 8 3,10,5

option is whether or not to toss idiot proof in the 7th

Cheap play

7
2,5
1,4,5
1,8
6
3,5

Good Luck

Stevens got fired by Nak, he is now represented by the guy who represents Court. I expect him to catch fire somewhat soon.

Not the least bit excited about the sequence (but I am excited about the carry), so.....

R3

R4
3 - Steel Kitten

6 - Warren's Devonlane

R5

10 - Weft

R7

R8
5 - O Bee Naki

1 x 3 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = $72 x $2 = $144

GL to all.

Chicken money...You should take the ticket you won and GO FOR THE GUSTO. $144....COME ON BALLA. Like your ticket, only horse I am not a fan of is Steel Kitten

Taking a shot and thinking about mixing it up with three tickets:

Ticket 1: 6,7 / 4,5 / 4,5,6,8 / 1 / 4,6 / 2,5,7
Ticket 2: 3,6,8 / 5 / 2,4,8 / 1 / 4,6 / 3,5
Ticket 3: 6 / 5,6 / 1,3,4 / 1,8 / 4 / 2,3,5,7,10

What? You reading the right PPs? Unusual Suspect won his turf debut at Del Mar last August. He's been a close 4th in two stakes on turf, and second in a G3 on this turf course. And he's an Unusual Heat, whose offspring move up enormously on turf. He had a sprint prep (with a slow early pace) coming off the layoff and is now ready for his best distance.

Saving the Go For The Gusto for Saratoga. I've been very good since April 28 and am trying to stay that way for 63 more days....

25yr old Bigs would be locked and loaded today. 43yr old Bigs is laying low because as he said in the original post, he's not feeling it, however, he did smile at being called Balla...

Off topic: LOVE Gasconade in Churchill's 9th today.

i must have been thinking about something else when i said no turf experience. I'm at work now and don't have pp's.

that said i still do not like him whatsoever in here. he'll have to beat me.

Race 5)

* Can someone please explain to me what im missing when i look at #8 Bernasconi? I have him as the 4th best horse in the race behind the 1-4-2 (Gallagher's other horse) but it seems as though the majority of the PK6 tickets i see have this horse 1st or 2nd. Was the race he came out of that tough and or was the competition tough?

-bt-

I'm with ya BT...there's plenty I'd like to use in this leg if the bankroll allowed it, and he's ain't one of 'em.

Edit; While we're on the topic...What with the sudden facination of Warrens Devonlane in the 4th? The 21.4 quarter? the Jock change?

4-6-7
3-6-10
7-8
1-4-6-8-10
4-6
3-5

Good luck to anyone playing, thats my ticket.

This is the ticket I came up with, although I will be knocking it down a bit still...

Race 3 : #1, #4, #6, #7
Race 4: #4, #5
Race 5: #1, #2, #4, #8
Race 6: #8, #10
Race 7: #1, #4
Race 8: #5

4 X 2 X 4 X 2 X 2 X 1 = 128 x 2 = $256.
