I just don't understand the connection and strategy around the horse, if you like him (have a tip) then either bet him to win or key him in a cheap pick 3 (something like 3/4/all for 6 buck) But I wouldn't worry about cheap supers with the idea of trying to get my 12 bucks back.
Fair enough. The race is bad and I'm keying around a horse with poor gate abilities and questionable trainer. In her first race this year she ran 3/4 of a length behind the heavy favorite in today's race in a turf sprint. The favorite had trouble and Lyrical passed tired horses to get close to her. She dwelt in her next start and ran around the hedge in her last,basically trailing the field.She is stretching out now in her first synthetic start against the worst horses she has faced and takes off the blinkers. i think the distance is going to be to her advantage if she doesn't stand in the gate.

I know what you mean about the limited value in the super and counting on either Flores runnning out is only hope. As it stands now the #2 is the best value going. I'll take your advice and play a 3/4/1,5 p-3.
