Default Horse for course........

Love to see all the analysis on a very interesting race........many comments will have been stated elsewhere but here's where I'm going.

Sinister 8-1 - I'm a sucker for deep closers at Churchill and this guy seems to fit the bill. There should be a nice pace to run at and I like his two wins right here at CD. Think the rail shouldn't be a problem as he will save ground into the turn then swing out in the stretch. He's a winner that has beat winners and nobody else in here can say that. He's raced once a month since November and this is his first freshening. Three fairly soft maintenance drills in June coming up to this and he does appear to be the type who will not be rank with his running style. He broke his maiden at first asking for $50,000 as opposed to War Ruler and Coach Ryan which took a few efforts to do it. Disappointed LEPAROUX goes with War Ruler but hope a 'hungry' LANERIE gets the job done.

My preferred wagering method is to find a 'key' horse then go top and bottom in exactas. I like:

1 X 2-3-4-7-10 and 2-3-4-7-10 X 1

As a pedigree fan I'd like to see Fit For A Fight do well here. He is in the money 4 out of 4 lifetime.

He is tail male to Silver Charm, Buckpasser , which you hardly ever see.

Steve,

You never did any analysis? Your doing the show now, so I guess no thoughts from you. How about some picks?

3,10,1
$140 ex
$1,500 tri
I'd say that overall there was a lot of direction in this thread to hit the ex. Nice thread all.
