Good luck!
Steve

Pretty sure that the 4 horse in Race 11 is a scratch

Yeah. Late SCR. Just brutal.

Damn It!!!!! Breakdown.. We don't need this

that didnt look good....pretty bad tumble by Saez and Havingameltdown looked hurt....hope both are okay

Prat got completely shut down trying to get up the rail..:mad:

5 deep and I run 2-3-4-5 ARRGH.

I also went 5 wide and that horse wasn’t the first one i left out.

so with that late scratch of 4 in the dirt 2 day pk 5,,,does the favorite take its place,,meaning the 8 in in race 11?

What a disaster weekend, I can't believe didn't use National treasure in the all stakes, dirt pick 5, no speed in race,

You could've added him if that was so obvious pre-race --

It's a frustrating game...I had a huge two day double on Taxed/Blazing Sevens....I also played two separate pick 5's into the Preakness and in hindsight stupidly tried to save myself $40 that cost me hitting the pick 5...

Steve had some really good opinions over the two days...not that I play his picks like you seem to....I am super frustrated with my own betting, feel I left a lot on the table with many good opinions but just enough bad woven in...wish you best of luck moving forward, it's a tough game we all partake in.

Preakness
 

Baffert shipped horse early was speed in race and back class
