Psssssst.... Don't anyone tell Joly

Mandatory Payout Saturday
Pick Six Carryover $1,874,996

Yep, I thought of him too, when I saw that. Almost an all stakes P6. He should enjoy that.

Heh,Heh,Heh:D:D:D

I know a goad when I see one.

Addendum: You guys are merciless. You must know that I can resist everything except temptation.
I've said in the past that our $100 bankroll really isn't large enough to do an adequate job of covering the pick 6 even at $0.20 per bet unless you have a solid single. Pre-scratches I don't see that single in this sequence. A run that might have a punter's chance would be 3x3x3x3x3x2, which costs $97.20. My real issue is with race 8, the only non-stakes race in the group, where I currently have my A and B lists narrowed down to 6 possibles. The only other run that I can see playing involves going 4 deep in race 8, which would allow going 3 deep in three races and 2 deep in the other two. That ticket feels shaky at best but scratches might make things work out. We shall see.

All Del Mar

Race 2 $20 ex key 3 w 1-2-6 ($60)

Race 8 $2 tri key 1-2-5 w 1-2-5-6 w 1-2-5-6 ($36)

Race 11 $4 ex 5-6 ($4)

The 7 in Race 6 might be a single, but there is a lot of speed signed on. The 6 in Race 7 might also be a single, but he is coming off a long lay-off. Race 10 is the tough one to me. 5 or 6 look like they could win it. Don't much like Arklow in the 11th which means he is a surefire winner.

They say when you sit down at a poker table and you can't see who the sucker is, it probably is you. I kind of feel that way in playing the pick 6, even with a large carryover and a mandatory payout. Just not enough coverage to be confident. But, here goes:

Race 6: $0.20 Pick 6 [big ticket] 1,4,7 / 3,6 / 1,2,3,7 / 3,4,7 / 3,4,5 / 4,8 $86.40

$0.20 Pick 6 [skinny ticket] 4,7 / 2 / 2,3,7 / 3,7 / 3,4 / 4,8 $9.60

Good luck to all and thanks to RQ for scoring.

Welcome to the club Cal. Hope that we both hit it.:tro:

Me too, but that would be pretty crazy.:eek: One thing about it, can't hit it unless you try. I maybe should have done a skinny ticket too. I may go back and do that, but really I'm kind of brain weary.

Well, I'm sure I'm wrong, but Independence Hall is surely better than 17-1. I think I'll put a couple of dollars on him. That'll stop him for sure.:zz::D

Nice payoff in the P6. 10K plus. I would have needed 6 deep to hit those last 2 and even then I'm not sure. You are right Joly. $100 not enough. Maybe we can try again on Breeder's Cup day. Turf races will likely be even harder though with all the Euros.

Very generous payday for those who were astute enough [or lucky enough] to have the last two legs. I can't blame our ROI budget for my failure to hit. I think that I would have been able to include Tripoli on a slightly broader ticket - happened to grade him a "C" and 4th or 5th on the depth chart. Astronaut in the finale is a different matter. Even if I had gone 5 or 6 deep in that race I don't think I would have included him. My hat is off for those who nailed it.

As for the BC pick 6, I know when I'm overmatched. Each of the BC races have too many contenders. For me to be comfortable with a BC pick 6 ticket, I'd probably need to go 6 or 7 deep in some of the races. Doing that can get very expensive very quickly.

Still, it was a fun exercise yesterday in between preparing for Henri.

It was pretty typical of my play in P6s. Usually get 3 or 4 right and miss a couple. I too might have had Tripoli, but thought I might have been making that race harder than it was by going deeper. Astronaut was tough to have for me too. As you said, it was an interesting exercise. Stay safe up there where you live.
