Also, if Kiarin's horse gets bet watch out - Macho Uno is 6/18 this year with FTS for a $4.21 ROI. I respect Dutrow's FTS record and his horses certainly have a chance, but I'll probably play against whichever one goes (the 2B looks a little better). Nothing about the Pletchers make me think 3-1 is warranted.

5 is probably the most likely but might be an underlay (if she was dead on the board I'd probably avoid her, too). . . 6 and 7 look like the value.

I know we're not supposed to box things but when you play 5,6 w/ 5,6,7 w/ 5,6,7 and it comes out 7-5-6 and pays $580 it gets a little frustrating.
