Thanks mclem! Was thinking of playing a heavy exacta in the race as well, but didn't want to play it blindly. I will shoot for a pricey horse one of these days, I just feel like a chalk eating weasel when I go with the faves.

Hey we all eat chalk from time to time, it's part of the game right?

Put me in the chalk eater catergory too. I took Squeeze Me Tight too, but it didn't seem like an easy choice. The top 3 seemed inseparable and that's the way they came in. Next race should be a little harder with a bigger field. That is, if you play the 5th.

No chalk for me today. Picked Mobilize in R5. I'll probably be out.
