Very chalky day. I ended up not even playing the Pick 6 so nice not to waste money there but lost the Pick 5 wager and basically got my money back on the Pick 4.

Perhaps a good example of why breaking the ticket down into A, B, and C can pay off. I didn’t do that but my top choice won 5 of the 6 races, including two that I thought were solid singles. The Pick 5 paid $3,471.75. Maybe if I don’t caveman it, I figure out a way to pound ALL in the only claiming race in the Pick 5 and tack on my A list for the remainder. Ticket construction can make or break you.

Anyway just some thoughts.
