Default First run at the futures bet....

1)Colonel John- If i can get at least 20/1 just like the breeding and the way he has handled 2 turns. I know it was on poly but just something i like about this one.
2)Court Vision-I was at CD when he won the Iriquis and was impressed with the fact that you could actually see the horse speed up coming down the stretch he wasn't just passing tired horses he was running by them. I know remsen came back low but once again love the breeding and his spin at CD. Would like to get 20/1 on him.
3)Cowboy Cal-love his races on T and i know its a risk but it appears to me that the horse does have talent. Would need at least 40-1
4)Dennis of Cork- the mystery horse as far as i see it. only run 2x but he did stretch out in the slop and won ok. Not a dominant wet track pedigree i dont think so maybe even more impressive?Would need 40-1
5)Majestic Warrior- the forgotten horse after the champagne dont knwo what went wrong there and the fact that it was his 1st stretch out bothers me but love the breeding and think can get a decent number. Need 25-1
6)Monba- My fav so far. i love the way he was eating into the lead in Calif and the fractions were actually speeding up no slowing down so he made up that much ground into those quick fractions. Bred to run forever. Need 20-1
7)Yankee Bravo- TOTAL STAB HERE just based on the 2 races that i have seen love the excelleration into the lane.Bred ok for distance. Need 50-1
8)Zhumor- his races at a distance on fast ground dont embarrass him at all and the breeding is there to get the distance worry about him being too close to pace but we will see. Need 30-1

Well that is what i have come up with. Are the odds that i need too high? i worry that some horses are just going to get hammerred and i just cant take a horse even Monba at 15-1 its just too far out from the big dance.

Constructive criticism of the picks and odds placement are fine but if i mispelled something or you have some smart ass comment i can do without that. Im looking for some real insight here. thanks.
