Aunt Pearl A Single ?

But won’t she be a single on a lot of peoples tickets?

MY advice is don't be afraid to single even if lots of people are doing similarly. ESPECIALLY on days where the pool size is gigantic. You needn't go back far to find a 100k pick 5 with a universal single. (Bricks and Mortar) The single allows you to pick horses otherwise left off. The single instead of 2 deep allows you to use 6 instead of 3 somewhere else. Best way to catch a bomb is to use more bombs...

Not redboarding but the majority of my major pick 5 hits I could have had for a buck instead of .50 because I decided not to single and in retrospect should have.

This game isn't about the money you win, it's about the money you don't leave on the table when you are correct. That's where the winning players reside.

IMO

Can’t disagree with anything you said. Most of my big scores were with larger than minimum increments in multi’s and pressing where you have a strong opinion.

I guess the discussion really is...is she a good single? I don’t think so, but I can also see why she is for a lot of people. She’s just not the kind of horse I want to rely on.

While Aunt Pearl looks to be tough here especially on front end no way can I single this horse after 5 month layoff here. I’m very intrigued by the 1 horse Postnup who is moving up in class but has some nice races. Also going to add Pletchers horse Zaajel who could be very dangerous first time on turf. Just starting the other races but looks like 1,6,7 here for me.

Step aside Tom, I'm going to tell you how this one is going to shake out. On Thursday I'm going to convince myself she's a free square and structure accordingly. Come Friday when I'm actually putting the ticket in, I'm then going to convince myself she's beatable and go 5-deep, axe bombs out of the rest of the sequence and watch her win by 10, "if I've seen it once I've seen it a million times"

I'm going to single her, then single the 10 in the oaks for $5.00 pick 5 with bombs in middle 3 races then use 1,2,3,45,6,7 on a$.50 back up

#7-6
#8-2/3/// #1
#9-6/10///#1/#8
#10-3/9/10/11/8///#1/2/4
#11-10//12////6/5/4/1/2/3/7
This is here so no Red board

So what do you think the better bet is?
The p5 singling Aunt Pearl
or wait until the next race and don't
single any horse in the p4

[freddymo]

no
