Cardinal Rule #17: Using a handful of horses in difficult-looking races guarantees win by one of the obvious short prices..

steve- well said and so true

Yes which is why I avoided that race and the pick 4. Couldn't stand the 3 and 5 but knew they had a shot. Loved the 7 and knew it would figure a way to lose.

Which leaves a caveman pick 3 to try and beat the favorite in the 8th.

Ratpiss..

steve- well said and so true

As we used to say around here years ago, ello elle..

steve- nice call on the #4 (shmooz talker)

ditto :tro:

double ditto. thanks to steve and andy. i'm vacationing in maine and had to stop by the otb to bet the horse. now the Mainiacs up here think i'm some type of guru. thanks again

5-1 was surprising on the Kitten filly there..
