No, I don't have some off-the-wall strategy to pick the same horses as you. But I have noticed that and there have been a few times where I thought about not picking certain horses because of that. Of course, that doesn't happen because, well, darn it, I should be able to pick the horses that I like. And that is my strategy - pick horses I like even if it's not the smartest pick.
No worries. It was just something I noticed over the past 5 weeks or so. That it was ALWAYS all the same except one. I tried to get across in my first posts that it was NOT something I was mad about it....just curious. I didn't know if it was some strategy on your part, or if we just have really similar handicapping styles. NOW I know that you also employ the always effective eeny, meeny, miny, moe handicapping plan!!
As for Barkley Sound, I do think he has a decent shot in here, but I think I made the mistake of "M/L betting" him. At 15/1 he is a value. But because of his little win streak the past few races I am afraid he will get bet down to the 7/1 range.....and I don't like him at that price at all. I found the Lafayette to be an extremely difficult race to analyze.
Good luck this week.
