Default 5 of 6......it's a whole lot worse than kissing your sister!!!



Damn had 5 of 6 and the 2nd and 3rd place horses in the race I missed the 6th......Any thoughts from anyone about errors you think I made with ticket structure or missing somethig obvious on the race I blew.....please provide constructive feedback!!!

2nd time I had P6 with 5 of 6 at SA in two weeks.... The ticket cost $2304 so end up breaking even while the years off my life praying for the 7 or the 4 in the 6Th to catch the 8 are gone forever!!.....a sprint to route angle I missed......and of course it happens in the middle race so it screws up the rollling pick 3's......Yikes!!!!!
I am not anywhere as smart as alot of you guys......

Byk you should have my mailing address and my check for the syndicate by this time......

Just because you lost doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Seems to me you did a hell of a lot more right than wrong.

The thing paid $400K or 160 times $2500. Five of six is DAMN good.

One piece of advice, or thought, and I mean this as no criticism, but a mistake people make is handicapping too much sometimes in a Pick-6. Hitting a Pick-6 can, and does, come down to knowing what races opinions are important and what races it is important to just survive.

Sound advice. There are races that defy handicapping. I think you're right. You have to recognize what each race offers. Is it a race that you can get a read on and hence form a somewhat confident opinion, or is it a race that you more or less have to buy your way past.

This is true.I had no real clue who was gunna win the 3rd,4th,or 7th,but had a pretty good feel for the 5th,6th,and 8th.

Again Scuds I should have talked to you about the 6TH as I had Place and Show horses but screwed up missing the route to sprint angle. Did you like the 8??

Next carry we exchange thoughts before the P6.....this 5 of 6 the last two big SA carry's is nice but it's alot like spending all day at the track and going home even......it's better than tanking but not by alot...

O.K.,I think I have put this together now.You are actually talking about the 5th race.Well,I can't get that f'n Palma Horse(Paul's Hope.) The only way I could get it was to go wide in there. I went wide in the 3rd,4th,and 7th.So,if you(or myself)want to get that horse,then we would have to go lean in a race we didn't go lean in today,and go wide in the 5th.I think that the 5th should of been won by Nakatanl's horse,but he is out of the groove at the moment,and Espinoza was in the groove today.Therefore,Corey got beat.I think the horse will come right back and win(with a better ride.....much like T. Montana won by getting a better ride today.)I think you want to know angles to get Paul's Hope.I only see 2.

1)Espinoza gave the winner of the 1st a good inspired ride....You could lean on that.

2)I think Paul's Hope was dropping in class (a bit.)When they finish a football field behind,I am not that big on the route to sprint angle.
