First glance, I like them.

On second glance I like them a lot.

Ok here we go.
Race 1.... I dont have much of an opinion here. Ill likely sit the race out.
Race 2..... Ill press Legend. He is just faster then these. Im against Kid Cruz. Ill back up with Souper Lucky and Pass the Coffee, they should both me over 10-1.
Race 3..... Nothing clever here. Ground Transport and Cat Burglar are my A's. Ill back up with Micromanage and Norumbega.
Race 4....... Bens Cat is a cool horse and a great story, but I see 4-5 horses who are at least on even terms with him. This is all assuming Bens Cat is around 9-5 or 2-1, IMO hes a major underlay vs these at that price. Ill spread in this race and use Spring to the Sky, Upgrade, Undrafted and Marchman.
Race 5..... Amazing race. Bayern, Social Inclusion and Havana are my A's. Bayern and Social should both appreciate the cutback. Havana has a race as a baby that beats these, he might have just needed a race. Crazy part about this race is I wont be shocked if none of them hit the board. Ill also cover Tonito M and Spot. Both of them can close, Spot especially at 30-1 morning line and a cutback could run huge.
Race 6......I dont like Sweet Reason at all. House Rules, My MIss Sophia and Unbridled Forever will be my A's. Ill back up with Sweet Whisky and Artemis Argrotera.
Race 7.....This could be the make or break race of the day for me. Ill press Close Hatches hard. I think shes moving forward and I think the fact that she has 2 real races under her belt already this year. Ill back up a little with Princess and just hope they go crazy on Beholder and make her even money. I have never been a fan of her, even though she has basically proved me wrong.
Race 8....Again nothing super clever here. Discreet Marq and Better Lucky will be my A's. Somali Lemonade and Coffee Clique will be my B's and I think they both have a very good shot to win this. Crazy they will both be double the price of Stephanie's Kitten and I think they are both more likely to win this race.
Race 9...... If I were planning on singling or pressing Palace Malice I would hate the draw. He is good, but not much better then a few of these. I am tossing him in the 9-11 pick 3. Im using 5 horses in this race. Central Banker, Normandy Invasion, Clearly Now, Romansh and Shakin It Up. Honestly Moreno would be my next use. I think he has a shot on the cutback but I think GoldenCents will be faster early and then there is so cheap speed to the outside that could hurt his chances. Im not sure why they are pulling the blinkers off, on paper Moreno cant win if he doesn't have the lead.
Race 10...... Nothing clever here. Im using 1,4,6,10. I think the 10 at 15-1 morning line has a very good chance to run huge second start back. I like Seek Again the least, but Ill cover him. Maybe he gets crushed down to 9-5 because people see that close 2nd to Wise Dan. Then one of my other 3 wins at a small overlay.
Race 11.... Im closing pick 3's and pick 4's with Samraat and Wicked Strong. Ill be truly disappointed if Samraat is not on a clear early lead. With Social Inclusion out his best chance is to wire this field. Worst case is Chrome goes after him early, collapses the race and Wicked Strong rolls by late.
Good Luck guys.

In the old days, in the contests, we just posted our picks, 4 of them in the event of a scratch, so it might be boring but this is what I have starting with the second:
rc2) 1/9 4/7 the 9 will be long, as second choice, I will probably go w or wp
rc3) 5/ 2 3 /8
rc 4) 8 10/ 3 6
rc 5) 5,3 11
rc 6) 3 8 9 /5
rc7) 6 5 /1
rc8)9 5 10/ 1
rc9)1/9 13 10
r10) 4 1/8/6
r11) 2/9 7 or 2 7 Samraat is the best of the rest. My boyfriend says WS is a pretender
Well Good Luck Chrome! I'm a Chromie!
