I'm going to go with an unorthodox pick 4 ticket (for me) as the 7th race beyond difficult and if the favorite fails in the 8th, there are several nice looking firsters.

Race 7

1 - Smart Rose - Her two best races this meet have been at 7f. Stepping up slightly from lifetime conditions.
2 - Shore Breeze Hero - Gatis kept this one rolling, she'll need to go further than ever though.
3 - Gold Jolie - Coming off a big win and gets Centeno.
4 - Close the Deal - Ness seems to have cooled off slightly in the last couple weeks. This one takes a double drop after losing as the chalk last out.
6 - Richie London - Last was impressive. Wright successful with a tiny sample of claims.
7 - Darby Lee - Another Ness, another horse-for-the-course (and distance). Scratched

Race 8

2 - Omega Cat - Works good. Sire good with firsters. RAJr and Proctor.
3 - Whiff - Works good. Sire good with firsters. Dam won MSW at PHA at first asking.
5 - Just Different - Cibelli great with firsters. Cruz riding well of late.
8 - Sky Ride - Works good. Sire good with firsters. Zweisler/Farish.
9 - Premier Roma - Just missed...twice. Bullet.

Race 9

8 - Fast Promises - We'll take the fastest dirt horse in a bad turf race.

Race 10

6 - Mulitcard - Zaidie calls on the bug to replicate the wire to wire maiden victory.
9 - Beautiful Insight - Just missed...twice. Battle of the bugs.

The ticket:

1,2,3,4,6/2,3,5,8,9/8/6,9

$50

That 7th is the most ingenious mess I've ever seen. Love Smart Rose from the rail getting 7F again, Ness Blinkers off (32%) and undefeated at the distance, and 5 other logicals :zz:

I just looked at the 7th, it's an absolute crapshoot.
I came up with the 1,2,3,4,6. I'm trying to decide if I should just go to bed. :zz:

Bigs, Beautiful Insight is 9.

I'm picking going to bed, and looking again in the AM... If I use 6 or 7, surely to god the stinking chalk will get home :(
may take a flyer and just use the 1,2,4 - but I've been brutalized doing that in the past.

This place is maddening

Bigs, me and you are on the same page again. This is what I have.
7th
1,2,3,4,6 for the reasons you have already listed
8th
on board with the 5,8,9. But I included the 1 also. She's stepping up, but has shown some speed and gets the rail on the cutback. With the 1 out, I'm replacing her with the 6. Decent Beyer first out and seemed to have excuses with the slop and appantly hitting the gate. I also realized(again) how wide open this race really is.
9th
I'm with you on the 8, but also included the 9. Slight drop and the shades come off. His last 2 races aren't too bad.
10th
I have the 6,9 too.

My ticket is shaping up to be
1,2,3,4,6
5,6,8,9
8,9
6,9 Cracked by a head in the finale!
$80
It might get tweaked a hair tomorrow.
Good Luck.

I lied and looked at the 8th... Holy Shi.....



Need 7 here - 2,3,4,5,6,8,9

Omega Code - 15% First time starters
Officer - 16% FTS - Sgt Carter broke in air first start 53 bsf
Cactus Ridge 18% FTS - Dontalktome hit gate/slop first time still managed a 58 bsf 2nd best field first start

:zz: :zz:


I'm going to work instead.

Or use Dontalktome and Bruning Roma (36.3 bullet over the track) and spread in the 7th.

...Or go to work. :p

Thanks, fixed.

They do tend to do their most damage in the Pick 4. Here's hoping today is not the day.

I also punched this a few times (in case the chalk rolls in the 8th):

2,3/9/8/6,9

couldn't get to the computer to punch a Ness/ALL DD in the first :( Hope a price doesn't get in here... I'll be irked

the 'ole Ness/Ness daily double - glad to see my boy getting his stroke back just in time ;)

Damn, we are all 5 deep and get the even money fav to win.

Gate crew looks like Laurel and Hardy trying to load for the 8th. What a mess.

If you backed the 2, you should probably be relieve that they scratched him after that ordeal.

That's that for me. Didn't like the 6 at all. With the field dropping like flies at the gate, I was getting nervous. Rightfully so.

Bah.

Sorry Bigs, I only used the 6 in because the 1 scratched.
As far as them dropping, that might have been one of the worst loading jobs I have ever seen. Just a terrible job by the gate crew.

No love at all for Friskie J - does me in... Nice call Matt - get home!!
