Thanks Matt. It was one of those exceedingly quirky days. I may not have expressed it real well because I had to get on the road to Aqueduct and didn't have time, but I tried to indicate my uneasiness towards how to approach it. 'Big day Saturday with stakes galore, but after capping, I felt an absence of mystery to the day's features.' It was the kind of day where even if you thought about being contrary, there wasn't enough evidentiary support to justify backing some of the offbeat thoughts you might have had too enthusiastically.

You didn't want to to spend too much going against Uncle Mo in the P4, and needed to be fairly widespread in the earlier stakes to assure getting to the anchor leg.. You knew Dancinginherdreams and Kathmanblu were rotten favorites and had to be bet against in the Ashland, but couldn't necessarily embrace anyone with supreme confidence.. The Illinois Derby was a silly race.. Etc. There were some decent opportunities, and I thought I had some solid views and took advantage in a couple places. I hope everybody did OK...

Steve just wanted to say thank you for posting your picks. Regardless whether you hit a pick-4 for 10k or you lose every race, it helps to give me a diffrent perspective and to pick up horses i may never have considered
