I think that #9 is a scratch in the finale.

Thought a lot about Shadilee, #5 in the 5th. Finally decided against taking a Todd Pletcher firster in a Maiden Claimer. Just doesn't feel right to me for a horse that he thinks has some ability.

Suspect there will be lots of tickets that look much like these. But, the carryover might be sufficient to still yield a decent return on an obvious array.

Time to get serious with final decisions.

Am I to logical in thinking the force-out should’ve been next Saturday during Travers day?

I agree, since that should be a huge day anyway so the pot should be larger, but I am not sure I understand how the powers that be determine when the force out will be. Is it just arbitrary or do they do it when the pot reaches a certain point or what? I think some venues do it at the end of their meet, but others don't seem to do it that way.
