JB you were so right about races 6 and 8. Scratch was my friend though, in them two races.

Made a big mistake in that last race and it cost me.

44.55+2.6+11.8 = 58.95

After three tries I'am $1.05 loss

They have been processed, the show parley bets. There's a good chance I might do a split bet, 1 - 6 then 7 - 12, especially if I profit from 1 - 6...

1 .. 0.00 ( 10.00 )
5 .. 0.00 ( 5.00 )
10 .. 0.00 ( 2.50 )
3 .. 3.20 ( 3.70 )
4 .. 2.40
4 .. 5.60

Pause and think time ... keep going

5 .. no show

Digger, I hope that you don't mind my trespassing on your show parlay thread. I had very much wanted to play a Derby City Pick 6 for my ROI today - after all it is closing day at Churchill Downs and therefore a mandatory payout of the carryover. Unfortunately, I just couldn't come up with a pick 6 array that I was happy with and still fit within the $100 ROI limit, even with a bold single of Maxfield in the Stephen Foster.

So, just for fun I want to post my best shot at a sort of bare bones pick 6 here and follow it as the races unfold.

Race 7:
$0.20 pick 6: 5,7,8 / 1,3,7,8 / 2,4,8,9 / 1,3,8 / 8 / 1,4,7,8 [$115.20]

p.s. - Digger, I noticed that 5 of your 6 show parlay picks for races 7-12 are on my ticket too. I also liked #7 Ride A Comet in the Wise Dan but had to draw the line somewhere. That's the most difficult part of a pick 4 or 5 or 6. You just can't include all of the horses you like and stay within a reasonable budget.
