Keep in mind the intent of the "Symposium/Exercise" is to hone our collective skills building P6 tickets using Steve Crist's A-B-C-X method with multiple tickets that weigh 'prime includes' and 'backup options' (as opposed to the equally weighted style 'caveman' tickets).

If you weren't on DT for our first pass at this, read through the linked thread (above, or in the Charles Hatton Reading Room) to get a feel for what we were trying to accopmplish... Andy Serling, who has hit two $100,000+ P6's, will be available as moderator to help explain building these plays. The exercise is intended to demonstrate how difficult it is to hit P6's, even with 'big money', and was tremendously helpful and fun when we did it a few months back...

Prizes for all three P6 opps Wednesday including 'ATR' and 'DT' swag and DRF Press publications (like Crist's Exotic Betting book)..

'At the Races' will also feature special coverage of the P6's today, Tuesday and Wednesday with Andy, Brad Free, Jon White and others offering their insights on the sextets, and I'll be playing as many of the races live on the show Wedneday as possible (BEL 7th-9th; CD 7th-9th; HOL 3rd-6th)...

Looks like fun. I might give one of these a run with real $$, though not $2.5K!

OK. Took a first look at Belmont.

Certainly need to do further examination and possible regrading. Mainly concerned with a structure that makes sense at this point. Never tried this before for pick6...

Here is what I did:

After grading horses A,B,C,X. I first constructed a strict A,B ticket.
4X2X3X2X3X3=$864

Next thought was to alternate C's with A's in all other races. I had small number of A horses, so I regraded B's to Create B+. Next set to include A's and B+ with C's in any one race. Guess my risk is that if my C's win more than one leg I'm out. Perhaps I should cover multiple C's with leftover cash.

I had C horses in 4 of the 6 races. I used C's in each leg with A, B+ in all others. 4 additional tickets totaling $1,044.

Balance to potentially use covering multiple C's $592.

Main question is does this structure make any sense? Biggest concern right now iis that my main A,B ticket seems short for only 35% of total investment. Am I spending too much on covers?

Thanks
