Good Racing Luck

I love Monkey's Uncle in the 7th. No way we're getting close to 15-1.

Weather touch and go today. Raining now.

Thanks Gus, and good luck. I like the pick 4 strategy, hopefully some of the longshots come in. For Race 7 there, should that be the 4 Concrete Rose instead of the 3 Speedy Solution.

Like you, I’m skeptical of the ML favorite in race 4 (or at least I assume you are too) and like the #8 Amandrea, despite Maker’s fairly terrible record with 1st time starters and maiden claiming debuts. It’s probably a horse that I should wait-and-see with but I’m probably going to drop some money on her if she’s around 10-1.

I agree, hoping for at least 8-1.

Thanks, Moses - Concrete Rose was impressive in turf sprint debut, but got a perfect set up. It's questionable if she'll have that same late kick on the stretch out.

#8 Amandrea definitely deserves a long look.

Fun sequence, hope the weather holds up

I think you’ll get 8-1 or maybe even higher than that. There are a number of horses in here with something to like about them. I could make an argument for a lot of them. You may not get 15-1 but some of these other horses are going to draw plenty of betting interest.

Key scratches in the feature - #4 Moravia & #13 My Gal Betty

My Single and backup Single :D

Yep. I really liked My Gal Betty there. Call me crazy but I’m switching over to the #2 Zalia.

lol My Gal Betty looked tough in this. I'm all over Concrete Rose here but will definitely cover with Speedy solution who looks to be ready to roll and will be a nice price and also the Chad Brown horse who I dont really like that much but have been burned before leaving his off.

The 6 is interesting in race 5 and 7 in Race 6. Im stilling banging through it but could be tricky to sequence.

Good luck. I’ll post here as well:

R5: 2,4,7,9
R6: 6,7,9,12
R7: 2,6,7,8,10,14
R8: 2

You have ruined me for life....I always bet on horses with the name Betty :D

They knew, 7-5 - Pletcher runner made what looked like a wide open race into a mismatch.

I kick myself for overthinking the race. Pletcher’s horse had early speed and experience. But I still don’t get the 7-5 number as the horse was pretty unimpressive overall. I liked seeing JV hop back aboard...but couldn’t resist the “value” elsewhere.

Ah well.

Race 5

$5 P3 7/1,2,7,9/2,4,7,10

My apologies for anyone who follows my selections, as I mistakenly put #3 for Cloak of Secrecy when it should of been #9. My editor took the day off.
