7/8: Belmont ($78k Carry)
 

Mixed bag of results Saturday with few standout opinions coming to fruition.. Some mediocre triples kept the day afloat, but the multi-race tries were all lousy. The beat in the Churchill nightcap, which would have been helped the afternoon's kitty, was especially agonizing when Kiss With a Twist looked like a winner before Nunnery fought back.. Nice carryover at Belmont with an OK card to attack.. Hope everyone did well Saturday!

Steve,
Thanks for the picks.
I'm no expert, so I'll ask, in race 8, don't you think Swap Flipparoo should be included?

W,

The way The Chief is going, nothing would surprise me from him.. It depends on what you're playing. In the multis, I think the 1a and 3 get you through. If you're going after exotics, she could hit board and boost the tote...

Good luck!!

Hey Steve, What, No Last Day Churchill Picks?????

Uh... no. :D

dang that sucks steve
 

u finished 2 3 4 in the 6th race

No.. 3-4-5 at best. I found it an utterly impossible race. I dismissed the winner early on in the capping too. That blows up the day pretty much. Nice box results in the 4th-5th, but I liked the P4 ticket going into this..

Its no worries Steve
 

yesterday was a disaster yesterday.

I was three for four at LSP late Pick 4 and had 3 out of 9 options to win.

I finished 4 7 8.

At Hollywood I played the Big Pick 4

and was one for one then it blew up.

Quite the disaster.
