Race 2 - #8 Risky Agenda 9-2. Had excuse last out
#9 Prom Party 5-2. Pletcher fave

Race 4 - #3 Berry Bound 5-1. Paired up and ready to move forward
#9 Smoky Chimney 8-5. Fastest fig last out.

Race 5 - #8 Criminologist 8-1. Shug horse is competive with these
#11 Fantastic Shirl 9-2. Fastest figs but outside post.

Race 6 - #1 Suave Jazz 6-1. Paired up 0 and entry mate aint too bad
#5 Bordonaro 8-5. Fastest figs but is fave vulnerable?
#7 Joey P. 8-1. Ran a zero last out and 8-1 is enticing.

Race 7 - #2 My Typhoon 5-2. Consistent turf runner always there.
#5 Wait A While 6-5. Surprised her numbers dont tower over these

Race 8 - #2 Deadly Dealer 5-2. Tough wide open race. Play 3 here
#3 Stormello 6-1. Back numbers are competitive can he sprint?
#5 Sports Town 4-1. Pairing of last race wins this.

Race 9 - #1 Dream Rush 7-5. Anything close to last makes her extra tough

Race 10 - #2 English Channel 5-2. How will he react to Dubai?
#8 Cosmonaut 5-1. Flying Zee has a nice one here.
#9 Kiss the Kid 20-1. Weight and numbers = longshot special

Race 11 - #6 Hard Spun 5-2. Maybe it is his turn in poor betting race.
#7 Rags to Riches 3-1. Filly can compete here.
#3 Curlin 6-5. Bounce candidate off last fast fig.

Good Luck to All,

PSH

RE: Kiss the Kid, there is no way that the 20/1 ML holds up. Horse has the fastest last out sheet number I think and has some speed, he is extremely playable at anything over 10/1, maybe even 8/1

I am not going to post my plays because I have done that for the last three days and got a bunch of losing tickets to show for it, but I will say that I am a fan of Criminalogist, but I like a horse in the 2nd quite a bit that is first time good trainer, let you guys play around with who that is.

Scav, Kiss the Kid is fast, but I don't think 1 1/4 is his best distance.

Logical singles in the first 2 legs of the P6 make this bet the same price for me - I'll take my chances that Bordonaro and Wait a While get it done and take the trickier route hoping that most will chase the P4

True North:
5 Bordonaro

Just a Game:
5 Wait a While

Woody Stevens:
2 Deadly Dealer
5 Sports Town scratched
6 Most Distinguished
8 Street Magician

Acorn:
1 Dream Rush
3 Chrismas Kid

Manhattan:
2 English Channel
7 Better Talk Now
8 Cosmonaut

Belmont:
3 Curlin
6 Hard Spun
7 Rags to Riches

1x1x3x2x3x3 = 54 bets x2 = 108 bucks

Another 20-1 M/L that is a must include underneath is Daytime Promise in the 5th. Use him 2nd and 3rd mostly because he is a hanging rat, but Five Star Day offspring have shown an affinity for the turf in a small sample. 5 of 15 starters have won on the grass and they have won 10 of 33 races. Not bad.

Bigs, was that the one that was cross entered last time at Belmont on the turf, but Contessa chose Delaware's dirt?

I believe so.
