The simple fact is she's much the best if she can repeat her last few performances. I'll structure my tickets with that in mind. 50-60% of my pick 4 tickets will end with her, and the remaining 40-50% will have some combination of Big Drama, Musket Man, Fresian Fire, Pioneerofthe Nile, Papa Clem, and General Quarters, depending on what side of the bed I wake up on.

I hope you wake up on the side that doesnt inclde GQ or Papa Clem

Both will not fire.

General Quarters is not good and Papa was a product of track condition in the derby.

Papa Clem's work was awful, which bothers me, and I don't think GQ is good enough but I'm willing to draw a line through the Derby for all the runners and start over- clearly some handled the track and others didn't. The only two that ran to their capability were Musket Man and POTN. At 20-1 I'm willing to find out if GQ is good enough and at 12-1 I'll forgive Papa Clem's workout, but nothing less than those prices. So you might be correct in the two that I don't use.

Besides the obvious Rachel/all, I was planning a seperate box with MTB, PON, MM and PC. I was still going back and forth last night about whether or not to add GQ to it. The 8 scares me enough, along with his honest BG win, that I can't toss him from what would be a good payoff. My TriBox is RA/PON/MM.

I don't know, I've never known the connections of a speed type in a route race be really excited about having the one post. I'd much rather be outside the speed.

They just showed Rachel schooling on the Pimlico feed. She looks great.
